Hey there,
I recently got a new phone (iPhone X) and am looking for the right headphones to suit both the phone but also for use with an iMac since I am at home a lot.
The headphones I am seriously considering are the B&W PX's, both for sound quality and because they support AAC which is what Apple Music streams; so the audio wouldn't suffer further compression.
One thing to note is I really enjoy a wide sound especially for live audio since it's so immersive.
Also, I would consider in-ears like iSine if the audio quality is noticeably better.
I have a few questions though...
Thanks

I have a few questions though...
- Can I play audio through a USB-C to lightning cable on the PX's and would that make any difference from using the 3.5mm to lightning jack? Also would it support lossless quality?
- Would I even notice much, if any difference between an AAC (mastered/unmastered) and lossless on the PX's, both wired or wireless?
- Is there any better headphones for iPhone X, either wired or wireless?
- Is there any better headphones for iMac, either wired or wireless?
- Will the iPhone even output lossless quality? I read somewhere that although it supports lossless, the output through the DAC is CD quality at best.
- What streaming service would be best (e.g. Spotify)? I am thinking Apple Music since it streams AAC and the iPhone doesn't support aptX.
Thanks
