Bowers and Wilkins Px8 Review

 

The Bowers & Wilkins Px8 impress with their effective noise cancellation, very good call quality and superb wireless performance

Improves on the PX7’s audio quality ; Confident noise cancellation ; Graceful looks ; Tremendous wireless performance ; Very good call quality

Expensive ; More natural-sounding and dynamic headphones from Focal and DALI

The Bowers & Wilkins Px8 aren’t just an impressive sounding pair of headphones, but over-ears with effective noise cancellation, very good call quality and superb wireless performance. They’re one of the best premium wireless headphones you can buy.

Bowers & Wilkins Px8 review

 

Luxury ANC headphones that offer style and substance

Outstanding clarity ; Fast and punchy sonic presentation ; Lovely build and impressive comfort

Limp sound at lower volume levels ; Wear on/off function can be erratic ; Lack of low volume adjustment when listening via USB cable

The Bowers & Wilkins Px8 sell for big money but offer the luxury and performance to match

Bowers & Wilkins PX8 review: Pure headphones perfection

 

The PX8 may cost a packet, but they deliver both sonic and aesthetic aplomb

Energetic, poised and thoroughly convincing sound ; Great standard of build and finish, and comfortable with it ; Effective noise-cancellation

Could be PX7 S2 at a glance ; Control app is less than completely perfect ; No touch controls

If you’re prepared to spend big on a new pair of headphones, but want to hear as well as see and feel where all that money has gone, you need to check out the Bowers & Wilkins PX8.

Hands on: Bowers & Wilkins PX8 review

 

Our thoughts on the gorgeous new flagship wireless over-ear headphones from B&W

Bowers & Wilkins Px8 review: Luxury listening

 

Bowers & Wilkins Px8 are the company's flagship wireless headphones. Are they worth the extra cash over the excellent Px7 S2?

Refined ; Authoritative sound ; Luxurious design ; Comfortable to wear ; Fast charging ; Tactile controls

No passive listening

The B&W Px8s are a fantastic pair of headphones, that look and sound the part for those with the budget. However, if the price tag is a barrier, the Px7 S2 are a worthy alternative for the Bowers & Wilkins sound.

Bowers & Wilkins PX8 review: scaling new heights

 

Updated: the unashamedly premium Bowers & Wilkins PX8 deliver on just about all fronts, especially after a DSP re-tune

Sublime build quality and materials ; Nuanced sound with exceptional detail ; Long-lasting battery and quick charging

Not a huge step up from the PX7 S2 ; Can’t listen with a flat battery ; Carries a hefty price premium

Hands down the best Bowers and Wilkins wireless headphones – but the PX8 carries a considerable premium over the already excellent PX7 S2, for fairly minor gains.

Bowers & Wilkins PX8 review

 

High-end sound in a luxury package

Rich, accurate sound ; Top-tier noise cancellation ; Beautiful construction ; Strong wireless performance ; Very comfy ; Higher battery life than any Bose ANC model

Too expensive for most consumers ; Wear detection needs work ; Disappointing call quality

The $699 Bowers & Wilkins PX8 cost a pretty penny, but they're well worth the investment for excellent audio, ANC, and craftsmanship.
