    Bowers and Wilkins PX8 Wireless Discussion

    Its important to note that Norway gives a Warranty of 5 years on electronics that should last, Hi-Fi klubben adds an additional year. This store is awesome. When the handle on my PX7 Carbons failed, and they couldnt fix it they offered money back or switch, so I switched to PX8 with the price...

    Thats how I remember them, glad to know that I didnt romanticize the color in my memory, tried to check em in store a while ago, but only the blacks were on stand, the reason I got for the Blacks standing instead of the reds except from opening a new set, is that they just look «too lux, and...

    That reminds me of a real story my proffesor told me many years ago. «There once was a man who ran into the emergency room with low blood pressure and high pulse, he said he was dying that he took too many meds and OD’d… He eventually collapsed in the hallway (probably of extreme panic attack)...

    Sometimes I forget that head-fi is kind of a «buble» when people say «cool speaker/Headphones, so on» and ask where to get it and the price, they get such a shock when I tell them, usually I try to downplay the price by -30% if I know they arent gonna search/really want it, and meanwhile I’m...

    Totally agree with that, here in Norway you have an education that combines psychology with pedagogics and the 4th+5th year you can choose a field you want to advance in. I choose hearing science so something like a therapist for people with all kind of hearing issues and stuff, also a lot of...

    What a fair comparison isnt it? The PX8 are GREAT for what they are, low maintance, both great and fun sounding, pick and go Headphones, that charges quick, with exquisite materials, and a good app. Also they dont look redicolous in the public sphere. Its especially a good deal in Norway...

    Ah sweet, I think thats where I have it from (Lunar year) you’re right looks like they are trying to do the same/copy. But instead the color itself look like a bad blend of the brown H95 and the red H95. BW usually hits it out of the park with colours, a shame they couldnt this time around, but...

    Its very weird I met him 20. sept and he said he ordered it Friday 15. sept, I think one of the Hifi-klubben butiques ordered it for him by mistake. Ugh it looks even more red in pictures🙁 Yeah, I think I get what you mean, I also attatch it with chinese culture and dragons🤔 Edit: the...

    Haha it does look better IRL at least in artifical light, but the more I look at the render the more im happy with my choice of black😅 Yeah the color is what I dont like about the render, the gold is too much and the brown looks more red. Its more brown and less golden IRL but the lightning...

    It actually look much prettier IRL, the yellow on the brushed part isnt so prominent and more like silver with a hint of yellow, and the brown leather looks great. Rendered photos never do anything justice.

    SEE!!!! I wasnt tripping when I said i saw someone at the train station that I talked too that had px8 with the color reminiscent of BO H95 and P9!!! I couldnt find it on bw or any other site, glad its officialy released.

    My speculation is that they put the DSP circuit that was in the PX8 in the S2e. The last update for the px8 made it more airy, detailed and widened soundstage (and reduced mid bass for more deep thump but im a little unsure if thats just me, either way they did tune the mid bass differently), I...

    Thank you, for saying what I wasnt fully able to i am so tired today and hate typing on the phone, agree with you 100%, we can see that bw is artifically low in price when we compare it to focal, lets say the bathys here they are 9999kr vs 6999kr but 799 vs 699 in eu and usd. A lot of Technology...

    Just read that they implemented a new DSP circuit in the S2e, maybe thats the one they use in the px8? And alllowed them to retune the px8 last SW update? Seems like everything else is the same.

    Wasnt that what I said that the consesus was that the PX7S2 and PX8 was identical except the driver material and outer material (cellulose vs carbon)? Sorry if it wasnt that clear, what I meant was that the consesus was that the px7s2 and px8 was the same EXCEPT the outer material and the...

    I totally agree with you, in my eyes the difference isnt as small as some people make it out to be, deff noticed a lot more detail and thump and lower distortion as you say and that was more than worth it, and I would have gotten it with the outer material being the same even!, the alu and...

    I may point my brother who is out for new BT cans toward these, I know he would love the forrest green color. I had the PX7S2 for a while and upgraded to PX8, the consensus back then was that the PX7S2 and PX8 was identical except from material and driver material, and both cans limited to...

    looked like the attatched picture, but with bright aluminium armbands like the tan version, and bright aluminium brushed part with a hint of aluminium Thats weird no other sources mention that, it would be weird for it to have it and the PX8 not, but one of the news about DSP may correlate with...

    Yeah it looks like the P9 color but is PX8, I swear. Edit: like in the leather color, the bands are bright aluminium color like the than version, and the brushed edges also bright but a hiiint of yellow, and the middle part that meets the cushion looked black (maybe black pvd?)

    Guys guys!! Omg!! The PX8 is made in dark brown leather( kind of like the dark brown BO H95 or like the BW P9 without thick grain) and the brushed parts with the logo is brushed white like the tan version but with a hint of yellowish, and the middle part before the cushions was PVD black alu I...

    You should really give them a try if you felt they almost satisified you and just wanted a liiitle bit more of air/soundstage/detail and sparkle, but if the delta is bigger than a little bit then you should prob get them tested/pick them up if you can return them😊 ——————————————————— Those who...

    I use IPhone and IPad Pro, noticed more air/soundstage/less mid bass with Wireless AAC on those after update, so the sound side of the update is not android specific I believe. Does sound better on my brothers oneplus android phone though with aptx adaptive, and even more so cabled.

    Bowers and Wilkins PX8 Wireless Discussion

    I feel its more airy, and the soundstage has widened, but I also feel like the mid-bass has been reduced which clears the way for the sub bass to have more presence and «slam», It may be because the mid bass reduced makes the sub bass shine more.. all in all i felt the update was very good in...

    Yeah they must be very sure of their product with only two eq settings, maybe its marketing in disguise to see what works, im sure they can make an app if they want to. B&W only just released eqing with px7s2/px8.

    By the way I love that the IO-12 use the ANC from Sony, such a good idea, a hopefully excellent sound paired with the best ANC out there. Edit: And they can be driven passively! Best of all worlds almost😅
