500+ Head-Fier
Interesting, I have completely missed that - could you please link to any more details on that statement please? Aside from the finicky proximity sensors on Px8 and the occasional battery calibration problem I have not heard much about quality issues on B&W headphones specifically. And I have had almost all models, wired and wireless since P5.Nope. It's a white noise/static sound. Theres a thread on the bowers and wilkins subreddit where people have experienced the same issue with the PX8.
I'm about to head back out to the shop to return these. I'm still deciding whether to just get another pair or try buy the momentum 4 instead. Seems like this is an issue long term with a lot of bower and wilkins headphones.
Regarding Momentum 4, it is a nice headphone but in a different league entirely. Definitely good for its price point but if you are looking for something that can be compared to, match or even outperform the Px8 I would check out Focal Bathys, M&D MW75, B&O H95 or even M&L 5909. Out of these I think most people would place Bathys and 5909 highest in ”objective” sound quality. All of these are much more expensive than Momentum 4 but are clearly better in some or many ways. And not as good in some…
