It was not the ear tips, and the buds were comfortable. It was almost like there were high-level frequencies that I could not hear that were causing my eardrums to have this pain after a short while, maybe it was the sound signature. Anyway, maybe it is just something weird with me. As long as...

I ended up returning my AZ-80s and got the B&W PI7s S2. From the first track I put on, I was impressed with the Pi7s2. Everything just hit right, and I can't listen to it for hours without fatigue or ear pain. I am unsure what made my ear pain with the AZ80s after about 15 minutes of listening...

I am not saying the XM4 had a better sound I saying the XM4 was not fatiguing. There is a certain harshness that my ears experience when listening to these, I am unsure if I need to let them "settle in". I have a PX8 as well, and I can listen to that for hours on end. Is anyone having an issue...

I recently purchased the AZ80 earbuds, after switching from the XM4, and choosing them over the XM5. Straight out of the box, I found that the AZ80 had a better sound compared to the preset I had to customize over time with the XM4. However, I agree with you that the bass is too heavy and the...

Thanks for all your input. I was on the fence, and it looks like I have rightfully been knocked off it 😭

Do any of you use the PX8 with DAPs like the SR35 or any other? I am considering buying one, but I do not know if it is overkill as the SR35 has aptxHD, which I would use primarily in Bluetooth mode with the PX8.

I can attest to this (non scientifically, of course). When I first got the headphones, I turned the treble up to around 2.5 as I found that it opened the soundstage, but lately, I have had the equaliser settings on default 0, and they sound fantastic like they have settled in. I dont have the...

Hiya, thanks for taking the time and doing this test. I will listen to the same tracks and see what differences I notice. What hardware have you got the Nura dongle plugged into? I had it plugged into my Samsung S22 Ultra connected to my B&W PX8. I did write to Nura support, and this is their...

I am using them with the PX8, so when you switch codecs using Android developer options, the PX8 makes a chime. When I change with the Nura, it does not chime, so that confirms what you guys are saying, as it uses the same codec, adaptive. In regards to quality (my ears), when in game mode...

That is precisely what I am trying to establish, that it is the Nura and not the PX8. I tested the PX8 with Nvidia shield, which had aptX HD and they sounded great but I have nothing to try with aptX adaptive besides Nura. Also, if I switch the Nura to the game mode, which should be using aptX...

Hi All, I bought the Nura Bluetooth 5.3 transmitter for Samsung s22 ultra to connect to my PX8 headphones. When the transmitter is in game mode (aptX LL) vs. normal (aptX Adaptive), music sounds more detailed to me. This should not be the case, as aptX adaptive should be the "superior" codec...

Hi all, I have a Samsung s22 ultra which does not support anything higher than aptX. I bought the Nura Bluetooth 5.3 transmitter, which supports aptX adaptive and HD, but it automatically chooses the best codec. My testing thus far, to my ears, is having AAC through the bowers and Wilkins app...
