Exactly. A good seal is very important and also a major pain in the rear with the PX. Sweet spot is just so narrow and I need to move the ear cups around every time. Just got the Sony XM3 to test out, very pleasantly surprised, will eventually sell the PX. They "just work" and the sound is...

I'd never broken in headphones prior to the PX but it made a huge difference. Totally different sound vs. out of the box. Glad you ended up keeping yours. I've read reviews of the Sony and think they won't be much different from the XM2. Thank you for your comparison!

What did you end up doing? I last visited this forum about 5 months ago when I got the PX. They've been broken in and sound very nice. My issue is the very narrow sweet spot due to the angled speakers. I find myself getting annoyed by it more and more because I am moving the phones around my...

My Sony 1000XM2 has been collecting dust since I've gotten the PX. And I don't see it changing.

Hmm, I was going to suggest trying a different store but you already did that. I tried Amazon Music with my Pixel 2 XL and noticed - very - faint occasional popping while nothing is playing. Never happens when music or any other sound is playing even at near minimum volume. Not an issue for me...

Thank you for the comparison, I was curious about the H9i as well. I previously owned the H6 2nd Gen and those were among the best HP I've heard. My problem was the headband. My head is a bit too small and even on the smallest setting I wasn't getting the tightest seal. I would have to bend the...

Just picked up the B&W PX at my local Best Buy about 1.5 days ago. Also have been using the Sony WH1000MX2 for the past year. I'm by no means an audiophile, but I've found some music to just sound a bit muddy on the Sony and want to try something new. I've read conflicting reports about whether...

Just an update, this may help you as well. You can bend the headband a bit to create more pressure / better seal or less pressure. In my case, I think my head is just barely too small for these headphones. I wear a size 7 1/8 fitted cap. I need to keep the headphones at the smallest setting...

My replacement phones have the same issue, vocals are just tilted ever so slightly toward the left side. Maybe a little improved on this set, hard to tell and could just be wishful thinking. Listened to Beyonce on Amazon music, same experience as you. I've been listening to a variety of stuff...

I've requested a replacement H6 2nd Gen from Amazon that will arrive today. My 1st set had a bit of uneven sound; vocals tended to be off center and favored the left side no matter the source. It was very slight but enough to be very noticeable. It isn't my ears, I flipped the phones around and...

Just joined this site today, discovered it a couple of weeks ago, very helpful and also overwhelming, the number of options out there! The last "good" headphones I bought were Sony 7505's about 20 years ago and I finally just retired them. Took a leap of faith and got the H6 2nd Gen after trying...
