Bowers & Wilkins Px8 Impressions

So…it’s your neighborhood wireless ANC headphone whore here with another pair and another review. Let me give you some quick first impressions. I’ve only had them a couple hours.

Build quality: impeccable. The leather is incredibly soft, the materials plush, the memory foam better. The aluminum arms slide effortlessly. Fit is absolutely luxurious compared to the Px7 S2’s. It’s genuinely night and day. Case is ever so slightly higher quality.

Sound: okay so I’m comparing to the Px7 S2’s and the momentum 4’s primarily. Compared to the Px7’s they are fuller, richer, with an added layer of oomph, as well as precision. Everything is just wider and tighter at the same time. They are incredible detail. Precision is the best word I can use. Just so damn agile and precise. Better in every way. As compared to the Momentum 4’s you can feel the tightness of the bass. It doesn’t hit as hard, like in a genuine loud rumble kind of way, but it’s infinitely more refined and punchy in a…hmmm I’d say the momentum 4’s bass is like a sluggers uppercut, weighty but no form, and the Px8 is like a heavy jab from Ali, agile and precise. Will provide more impressions as the day goes on.

Oh man, I've been looking at these a lot. I've held off on basically any new headphone since the H95 which I love, but don't like wearing it out and about.
i've been looking off and on at several wireless ANC headphones, the PX8 and momentum 4 being the top 2, then the XM5, Technics
EAH-A800
.
I'm a bit curious about M&D's new pair, and I do miss my M4u 8, so thought about giving the new version a shot, but I'm not sure what if anything i'll do. Not like I need a new pair lol.
Maybe you don't have any posted, but I couldn't see other headphones you currently have or have had.
What others have you listened to, how would the PX8 compare to say the PX7? the PX7 had a lot of potential but I had to eq the heck out of it to find something I liked, sold them not long after.
Are the PX8 totally different?
Hows the ANC, better than the XM4 or momentum 3?

Check this thread. There’s a lot of impressions and stuff lol. It’s just easier than trying to explain it all again.

I have come across and acquired a pair of Bluetooth headset Valco Sorsa+ and I can't find too much about it. If anyone is familiar with these headphones please do tell. They sound really nice.

I was about to purchase the McLaren edition but they do seem to look a lot more gray than I expected?

Wrong thread I guess.
