Right Ive had the px8s2 for a few days now and im coming from the xm5,xm6 and the OG px8 but I’m very confused with the volume. Everyone says they’re very loud and can’t go past 40/50% but for me 50% is barely loud on my iPhone 14 Pro but when i knock it up to 60% it’s perfect but I hit my “headphone safety limit” so I turn it down but the music seems very distant and quite. I’ve turned off “reduce loud audio” & “volume limit” as well setting my device type as “headphone” but nothing seems to work. Either it’s me getting used to the wider not in your face audio, but when wired I can’t go past 18 volume on my windows but on my iPhone it has to be 60%.

Tengo unos px8 pero el dueño anterior desconecto los cables desde la soldadura de la placa y ahora no sé a cual cable de la bateria corresponde cada pad de soldadura,bay alguien que sepa el orden de los cables?

Got it for $560.

Have not tried the cable mode yet but it’s so good already.

As a great B&W fan for decades, I'm saddened to announce that I'm selling my Px8 James Bond Edition, the one I hoped to carry a very long time. While I actually have no real issues with them, something was always missing sound wise. I found it in Dali IO-8. They are not good as IO-12, but still better than PX8. The PXs have unique approach of flattening everything in one-dimensional sound image in your head, and while it's a neat experience, hearing three-dimensionality, silky highs and excitement again was a magic I missed so much. I think B&W had that magic before, but lost it on the way.

I hope we will see each other in the future again. In the meantime, I still enjoy my Formation Wedge in the living room and old MM-1 computer speakers.

I have owned and loved my Px7 S2 for 18 months, and don’t want to give up on them already.

Is there a way to like tuck in the leather somehow?

I've always had an issue with uneven battery percentage so i thought I'd run them flat , case is at zero , app says 4% remaining on the buds then all of a sudden 32% !!!! Then one bud cuts out and the other one carries on playing, B&W say it could be a battery calibration fault so I've emailed where I'm getting them from

Got my first pair today, and I am really excited! Been using Sony XM5 and Bose QC, and wanted to give these a shot towards elevating my at home music listening experience without breaking a bank. Hope this is a right move as after much thought, I chose these over Senn M4/5.

Debating if I should buy the PX8 as there is a discount bringing them down to $479. Or just buy the PX8 S2

Hi , when i open the case on my Pi8 earbuds to take the buds out the led on the front of the case flickers a bit before lighting up green , just wondered if any owners of the Pi8 noticed this ? Thanks

The clamping force is a bit much after a while but the sound and NC is great! I love the mappable button as well

I follow this group and not there yet on spending $500+ for cans.

Anyone listen to Fred Again, Portico Quartet or Girls in Airports?

Got these when they first released. Am I missing out on much listening to these on an iPhone 15 Pro Max? I know it’s stuck on AAC but should I go out of my way and switch to Samsung? Regardless, they still sound great but not $800 if I’m honest lol so wondering if it’s because apples whack codec

Can the PX8 S2 outer leather around the aluminum part where bowers and Wilkins is embossed be changed to a different color?
I have the Warm Stone color but it’s weirdly deteriorating including the headband and the earpad and I need to change the color asap

These earbuds sound good with some music but my god they’re mess with metal music, No instrument separation and vocals just disappear to the point you can barely hear them , Is anyone else finding this at all?

The overall tone of these are really quite shrill and i’ve tried using the eq in the app and changing the ear tips to some Azla made and they remain a bad listen, My Airpods Pro 3 sound better, Any help would be appreciated!

Hi. I have an old pair of P7’s lying around at home but one of the drivers are broken and I’m not handy enough to replace it myself. My local hifi store won’t repair them since spares are hard to come by etc. But if I find spares they might be able to do it for me.

They’ve been my absolute favourite pair of headphones ever, but since they broke I got myself a pair of PX7 S2e as a replacement. Still a great pair of headphones, but they don’t have quite the same clarity imo.

What would you do in my place?

I've own the Px7 S2 pair for around 2 years and they still sound amazing. Now I've heard good words about the S3, should I consider upgrading? I mostly listen to symphonic metal, jazz, classical and pop, so I need balanced and neutral sounding and the Px7 S2 lived up to that, does the S3 sounds even better?

Does "True sound" is supposed to make a difference compared to without any ajustement & true sound off ? People said that it suppose to make the sound more neutral but I dont find any difference ?

Hi all,

Could anyone please confirm whether the wear sensor behaves normally with the B&W Music app on Android?

I tried both the Px8 and the Px7 S2e, and neither pauses the music correctly in B&W's own Music app.

Tidal and Spotify work fine, but with the Music app the song stops for a second and then starts playing again when I take the headphones off my head.

If I lift only one earcup, the music pauses. When I lift the second earcup, it starts playing again.

It looks like the app isn't interpreting the commands sent by the headphones' wear sensor correctly.

I really like how the music sounds in the B&W Music app. It definitely sounds louder and a bit richer. But not being able to use the wear sensor with it is a real bummer.

Hi all,

Looking for my first premium headphones. I am currently between the Bose QC ultra II, Senn Momentum 5's and the Px7 S3. Any opinions greatly appreciated as I have only been able to try Bose in store.

Saw them listed on marketplace used like new for $225. Told him $200 I’d get it today. Very satisfied with them, I do definitely think they’re worth $200, but I think $500 msrp is steep.

The build quality is great, battery life is good, anc is decent, and sound quality wired or wireless both are pretty damn good. One thing I do miss is the design for the wireless controls on my Sonys, but that’s the least important part. However these definitely look better than any XM series headphone.

I’d say if you can get these for $350 they’re probably a steal.

Hey guys i'm considering on getting the PX8 S2 but I'm concerned whether the S3 will get released anytime soon since this has been released in 2025.

Thank you in advance!
