    Bowers & Wilkins PX Noise-Cancelling Over-ears

    I stuck it out with the PX. They sound great! The Sony XM3’s are good but sound much more narrow, boomy and not as accurate. The H9i also sound great but a little more harsh and edgy to the point of skittle fatiguing to listen to. The PX’s soundstage is wide and just sound liquid smooth. They...

    Bowers & Wilkins PX Noise-Cancelling Over-ears

    Well the PX are not going to work... just when you think they are comfortable enough. they are not. My second issue with the PX is that for 80% percent of the various things I listen to they sound really good and the other 20% sound terrible. So I am now between H9i which are my first choice for...

    Bowers & Wilkins PX Noise-Cancelling Over-ears

    As I listen back and forth between the PX and XM3 the PX are very dimensional sounding. They have a very wide and open 3D sound whereas the XM3 sound like all of the vocals and instruments are stuck to a thin line like birds sitting on a power line. The PX sound more like birds perched...

    Bowers & Wilkins PX Noise-Cancelling Over-ears

    I totally agree and I may eat my words in a few days. I am back and forth between the two right now and the XM3’s are oh so comfy. I have started having a little fatigue wi the PX after several hrs today....

    Bowers & Wilkins PX Noise-Cancelling Over-ears

    Well I am pleasantly surprised by my second try of the PX. The sound is liquid smooth and very dimensional. The bass is very tight, punchy and controlled with great low end extension. The ANC works well and is enough. Actually once you switch to city or flight the soundstage narrows slightly and...

    Bowers & Wilkins PX Noise-Cancelling Over-ears

    I have noticed Best Buy is now only listing the PX as in store only. There is no option to ship. Curious is there a newer model coming or is BB just selling through. I picked up Sony XM3 last week and they are nice and comfy and sound good but wanting to try PX again. I had a pair shortly after...

    B&O H9 Discussion and Impressions thread

    So I grabbed my Apple ipod off of the shelf, dusted it off and plugged it into my H9i's. I was immediately presented with the clearest and cleanest music with an enormous sound stage! The sound was unreal, I had to check which headphones I was wearing. We all get into this streaming of music and...

    B&O H9 Discussion and Impressions thread

    Quickly... I owned PX and liked the sound as I own a pair of B&W 580 towers. I returned then for the discomfort and weight. Tried Sony W1000xm2 - too muddy and bass heavy for me, returned. Tried B&O H9. Comfort is through the roof!!! Sound good but not great. Bose QC35 II Very comfortable and...

    Bowers & Wilkins PX Noise-Cancelling Over-ears

    I gave up on them also... stuck with airpods for a while and then got Beoplay H9 on a great deal for $300... Super comfy

    Bowers & Wilkins PX Noise-Cancelling Over-ears

    After owning the PX's a few days, I have found the ANC to work just fine. You do loose some detail in the music the higher you turn it up the ANC, but its still sounds better to me than the Sony's even with ANC on. I have also come to realize that I don't notice/appreciate the small details...

    Bowers & Wilkins PX Noise-Cancelling Over-ears

    I am an AirPod user and like them for what they are, they sound good.and are quick and easy. They can also be hard to use when it’s noisy without cranking them up. For this reason I am revisiting noise cancelling headphones/earbuds. All the previous ones I have tried had good noise cancellation...

    IEM dilema - I basically down to Etymotic er4pt or Shure se425 - unless there are other recommendations

    I am looking for my first pair of higher end IEM's. I have been using my Bose QC 20's for a while and thought they were ok, and always thought my LG HBS-800's sounded better. The LG's recently died so I bought the Jabra Rox which sounded good but the rubber wings used to keep them your ear were...
