I finally received my Pandas this morning (UK)! First impressions = wow and fantastic. Just so you are all aware I am no audiophile, just a casual listener listening to apple music wirelessly. So I am afraid I can't explain or go to some of the lengths you guys do
I currently have a pair of B&W PX7 as my main pair which replaced the P7 wireless. I have used them for approx 3 hours so far and they sound incredible to me. There is a level of clarity I have not heard and although the bass is not as punchy as the B&W, it has a quality I have not heard since some wired Audeze's (not sure of the model was a long time ago). The PX7 lack the midrange and clarity and just general quality, but there are some songs the increased bass sounds good (noting that the PX7 is not a very bassy headphone anyway) but more mudled.
It's clear I need to listen to the Pandas more and then compare.
From a fit perspective they feel comfortable, more so than the PX7 and the passive noise cancelling is pretty good. But as I tend to generally use these at home noise cancelling is not a big deal for me.
I also love the joystick so much better than buttons and so easy to change tracks and volume, I wish more manufacturers would adopt this.
It's always dangerous when there is some hype for a product, but for me I am really happy at the moment and hope it continues.
