Bowers & Wilkins Pi8 review: high-end in-ears deliver peerless audio quality

Looking for premium in-ears? Bowers & Wilkins' all-new Pi8 is most certainly at the top-end of the spectrum

Great across-the-board specification (including nifty retransmission case) ; Detailed, full-bodied and entirely convincing sound ; Nice design and exemplary build quality

Can get uneasy at high volume levels ; More expensive than their most obvious rivals ; Good rather than great active noise-cancellation

Predictably great sound, predictably thorough specification and unexpectedly swish design make the Bowers & Wilkins Pi8 the most competitive true wireless in-ear headphones so far. Which, by extension, means they’re very competitive indeed… if you've...

Bowers & Wilkins Pi8 review

Bowers & Wilkins' new flagship wireless earbuds hit the spot

Sensational levels of detail ; Natural, refined sound ; Easy to use ; Competitive ANC

Call quality could be improved ; No ear tip fit test ; A couple of signal dropouts

The Pi8 are pricier than your average wireless earbuds but sonically they perform levels above – the detail and refinement on show are breathtaking. Add useful features, solid ANC, the fact they’re nice to use and comfortable and you’ve got buds that...

These Bowers & Wilkins noise cancelling earbuds are an introvert audiophiles dream

Bowers & Wilkins have applied their excellent audio engineering to their latest headphones for the Pi8 noise cancelling in-ear earbuds.

Very pricey

Bowers & Wilkins' updated Pi8 in-ear earbuds are the most sonically impressive earbuds I've ever tested. The Pi8 is what happens when one of the most respected audiophile brands in the world sets their sights on noise-cancelling, travel-friendly, and...

Bowers & Wilkins Pi8 review: sublime sounding in-ears that major on comfort

Carbon drivers and a fettled fit for B&W's best earphones yet. The Bowers & Wilkins Pi8 put rivals to shame on sound

Exceptional sound quality ; Secure, comfortable fit ; Clever case brings high quality Bluetooth to your other gadgets

Bad stuff 1 ; Bad stuff 2

An absolutely fantastic sounding pair of wireless earphones that deliver the sort of clarity you’d expect from Bowers & Wilkins. The Pi8 is far more comfortable than previous efforts, and the case ensures you don’t miss out on the best Bluetooth codecs.

Bowers & Wilkins Pi8 In-Ear True Wireless Earbuds review | Digital Trends

Bowers & Wilkins is known for creating exceptional audio experiences, and its new Pi8 earbuds continue that legacy.

Full-body sound ; Relaxing fit ; Good touch controls ; Bluetooth Multipoint ; Retransmission feature

Pricey ; Lower than average battery life ; Some sound crackling during calls

“The B&W Pi8 earbuds are a great upgrade from their predecessors, boasting a refined design, improved comfort, and exceptional sound quality.”

The best earbuds for audiophiles I've tested aren't by Sony or Bose

The Bowers and Wilkins Pi8 earbuds exude luxury while impressing audiophiles with crisp audio and booming bass. There are some big factors to consider, however.

Are the Bowers & Wilkins Pi8 earbuds worth $400? It's a tough call, but I'd say to keep an eye out for when they go on sale. These earbuds certainly offer delicious sound and a comfortable, luxurious build that makes them great for audiophiles. But the...
