“They are almost unrivaled, Bowers & Wilkins. I have the Px7 S3, and they sound very good. I know from a lot of tests and test videos that they are really very good. I don't buy blindly if I can't test myself. Then I look at as many tests as possible to get a good impression.”

“… [truncated] … like the looks even though it is kind of the opposite of understated :) But imho looks really really nice, with very high quality materials. Arguably they are the benchmarks for sound quality as well and they scream “I… [truncated] …”

headphones “Have you ever felt the need to downgrade rather than upgrade?”

To directly answer your question, yes. 1. From the Bowers & Wilkins Px8 to the Px7 S2e 2. From the Meze 109 Pro to the 105 AER and SILVA 3. From the DCA E3 to the Noire X. In all those cases, I preferred the lower tier over the higher tier.

headphones “B&W Px8 S2”

I noticed my Beats Studio Pros were getting really old and nasty, so I decided it was finally time to change my headphones. While I was shopping around, I came across the Px8 S2 (McLaren Edition). Since I’m a big car guy and an F1 fan, I didn’t hesitate and bought it instantly. And oh boy… I do not regret nothing. \*Model: Bowers & Wilkins Px8 S2 McLaren Edition\* Price: 7/10 Okay, these go for almost $1000 retail. Luckily, I got picked at an event where they were selling them for $900. Tbh, it’s still pricey as heck imo, and I swear I heard my wallet crying when I clicked pay 😭 That said, after actually using them and hearing the performance, I can somewhat understand where the price is coming from. Weight & Fit: 7.6/10 I’ve heard people say these are heavy, but imo the weight isn’t really noticeable. I wore them for about 4 hours straight and had no major issues. However, the headphones themselves are a bit stiff and tight. First time using these felt like my skull was getting kinda crushed (similar to the Beats over-ear headphones if ykwim). But you do get used to it pretty fast—I adapted super quickly too. Except for that tight fit at first, everything else is fine 👍 Sound: 10/10 Now I can proudly say these are immaculate performers. And nah, it’s not just because I moved from Beats to B&W. I also own a Sony WH-1000XM5, Bose QC Ultra, and the Beats Studio Pro. What stood out immediately is how different these sound. It’s hard to explain, but it feels like you can hear every little instrument and tool in the music. And I’m not even glazing fr—these thangs are insane. When I tried them wired and listened to a FLAC file, I genuinely think I ascended rq (yall gotta try hearing Hans Zimmer’s music on these thangs). The fact that these are absolute beasts in both wireless and wired mode blew my mind. I honestly stopped thinking about the price the moment I heard how good they sounded. Design: 9/10 Personally, I like thin headphones because they look cleaner on the head, and these are very slim, which I really liked. That orange accent on the main part is just beautiful. Taking these out to a morning café and seeing them shine under sunlight was a whole different experience (okay I might be glazing a lil bit). They represent the iconic McLaren orange accent perfectly, and I genuinely love the design. Overall: 9.3/10 • Fit: good • Weight: good • Price: eh / decent • Sound: Chef’s kiss • Would recommend: yes, if you could afford it

headphones “Bowers & Wilkins Px8 review”

I bought these Bowers & Wilkins Px8s yesterday because the price was slashed from $1200 to $700. Holy crap they're worth it! The soundstage of them are kickass! For such a small pair of headphones, they really pack a punch! The sound is really dynamic. You can hear the drums from all over the place! Also the echoes from the vocals. The blend of the instruments on these things are bang on! Not to much bass, not to much stand out guitar work. The guys at Bowers & Wilkins have nailed it with this pair!

headphones “Got A Stumper for the Headphone Folks”

I was given a pair of Bowers and Wilkins PX7 that originally were from an Emirates plane with the 3 prong adapter. I searched for ages looking for a way to get them to work, even spoke to B&W but they said it's not possible. They were only ever intended to work on a flight and not to be stolen from said plane!

headphones “Sennheiser HDB 630 vs Bowers & Wilkins Px8 S2, why I switched”

OP - your process is actually a very good example of how one should go about choosing the right headphones for them. Sony and Bose are mass market favorites; but those who know their flaws, can’t stand to live with them. Apple APM is an expensive bauble with some great features; but I wouldn’t choose it as my first pick since I know better options. Sennheisers are amazing for people who value “accurate” sound reproduction and don’t mind their typical low bass. That said - the Momentum 4 offers 90% of the value of the HDB630 at a third of the cost IMO. My M4s are my preferred “rugged travel” headset. And for people who like a bit of punch in their headphones’ sound signature, the Focal Bathys and BW PX8 frequently come up as winners. I personally found the clamp force on the PX7 and 8 to be too much for me; and the ANC on the Bathys to be too poor. The M4 checks most of my boxes. If they could reach Sony-level ANC, they’d be a world beater.
