Bowers & Wilkins PX8 Noise Cancelling Headphones
The design of PX8 is just as inspiring as its sound quality. The new headphone is available in two finishes, black leather or tan leather, and now has a cast-aluminium arm structure that references Bowers & Wilkins signature design language, plus a diamond-cut bright edge on each elliptical logo plate.
The earcups, memory-foam cushions and headband are trimmed in soft, luxurious Nappa leather for the ultimate, premium feel. Together, these design and material choices ensure that Px8 confidently asserts Bowers & Wilkins’ position as a premium audio brand like no other in the category.
Gabi's thoughts:
There aren't many noise cancelling headphones that also fit into the luxury headphone category, and that makes the B&W PX8 an exciting unicorn. The leather trim and aluminium finish on these headphones just ooze confidence. I'm a big fan.
And boy are these headphones comfortable or what? The B&W PX8 noise-cancelling headphones will give you a secure, yet commodious fit for extended periods of time, while blocking out that unwanted cabin noise from your plane, train or automobile.
Manufacturer Details:
Inspired by the Carbon Dome drive units used in Bowers & Wilkins highly successful 700 Series loudspeaker range, the Px8’s new Carbon Cones deliver an unparalleled combination of ultra-fast response plus exceptionally low distortion throughout the frequency range. The result is resolution, detail and timing that surpasses the high bar set by the Px7 S2, ensuring an even more engaging and natural musical performance that gets closer than ever to the True Sound of the artist’s intent.
The Carbon Cone drive units in Px8 are carefully angled inside each earcup to ensure a consistent distance relative to the listener’s ear from every point across the surface of each driver, to produce a more immersive and highly accurate soundstage. The result is the best sound quality Bowers & Wilkins has ever delivered from a pair of wireless headphones.
Unparalleled high-resolution sound
Whether using wireless or wired connections, the Px8 combines its ultra-high-performance drive unit configuration with powerful Bowers & Wilkins-developed DSP (Digital Signal Processing) to deliver outstanding, 24-bit high-resolution sound quality from leading streaming services.
Cancel the noise, not your music
Six high-performance microphones work together to deliver the best results: two measure the output of each drive unit, two react to ambient noise from the outside world and two provide outstanding voice clarity with enhanced noise suppression.
As with Px7 S2, the performance of the system has been further improved by moving the two external microphones closer together, adjusting the angling of each microphone to improve voice capture and changing the position of the second mic to reduce wind noise interference.
A breakthrough in user experience
Excitingly, the launch of the new Px8 will see a major upgrade for the Bowers & Wilkins Music App. From launch, the Music App will allow Px8 users to stream their chosen music directly from their mobile device to their headphones, with Deezer, Qobuz and TIDAL all supported. The same functionality is available to owners of Px7 S2. As just one example of the benefits of this breakthrough feature, Bowers & Wilkins customers can now easily switch between listening at home – for example, via a Zeppelin, or a pair of the Formation Duo stereo speakers – and listening on the move via a mobile device with a pair of Px8 or Px7 S2 headphones.
As before, the Music App also simplifies the connection of the Px8 to a mobile device, supports fine-tuning of the sound through adjustable EQ, and allows owners to configure their preferred noise-cancelling mode, all while monitoring the headphone’s charge levels.
Physical controls on each earcup are also included, ensuring full control even without the Music App, while users can also use the Px8 to seamlessly launch their phone’s Voice Assistant at the touch of a button. With 30 hours of battery life, Px8 can play all day long – and more – on just one charge, while a 15-minute quick recharge is sufficient to provide up to seven hours of additional listening time, so you’ll never be without your favourite music for long.
