Nice. That's one thing that I was hoping they'd fix is the ambient mode/volume. Does it also now have a quick ambient on option or do you still need to wait 2 seconds? I assume their initial mindset was ambient mode wouldn't need instant on and if you really needed to hear something, you could lift the earcups (as they advertise this feature).
LOL. No, there’s no instant ambient on unless you use the app. You do have to hold for 2 seconds. I agree with your point on lifting the ear cup. That’s what I do if I need to hear something really quick.
It's on the Dutch site. Loads of shops now have it on sale for €329.
Umh, nope, the PX is very painful compared to the P7W, at least with regards to pressure on and around the ears. I owned the P7W and while it wasn't the most comfortable headphone it was certainly wearable whereas the PX was intolerable and I had to return it.
I definitely agree. I’ve been going back and listening to some of the tracks in my library where I noticed some inconsistencies in the highs and I swear they sound a little cleaner to me now. I’m still of the mind that it’s in my head LOL
Did you try the PX that came in the hardcase? The headband padding is softer and the earpads seem to have a bit wider footprint. That being said, they're not comfort kings, but they are no longer intolerable for me. Plus, being on sale for $229 helps.
My bad, guess I should read more carefully next time.
Not sure, I bought them when they first came out. It wasn't the materials, it was the clamping force, just too much on the ears, like way too much. I have always assumed that in order to keep the tuning that B&W had to ensure the tight seal, but clearly they over did it. Yes, at $229 that would be a great price no doubt.
