    "Best at Any Price" Wireless Headphones

    The Px8 is Bowers & Wilkins flagship wireless headphone. It offers the ultimate combination of exceptional performance, premium materials, intelligent technology, and smart features.

    A high-resolution 24-bit DSP is partnered with all-new driver technology to deliver outstanding resolution, capable of capturing nuances in your music that may otherwise be missed. This is headphone listening on all-new levels of immersion and realism.

    "Be assured you're buying some of the best wireless headphones around, at any price," reports Simon Lucas, Wired. "There's substance at the top of the frequency range, assertiveness at the bottom, and complete positivity in the midrange. Consequently, the Px8 always sounds confident, assertive, and beautifully balanced."

    Angled Carbon Cones

    Px8's precisely angled Carbon Cone drive units reduce distortion, resulting in massively improved clarity. Coupled to a fully optimized drive unit 'motor system', with revised magnet, voice coil and surround, the result is unparalleled accuracy and realism.

    High-Resolution Sound with Advanced DSP

    The Px8 uses Bluetooth aptX™ Adaptive wireless technology and powerful Digital Signal Processing to ensure outstanding 24-bit high-resolution sound quality from suitable streaming services. You can also connect to your laptop via USB to enjoy high-resolution streaming.

    Cancel the Noise, Not Your Music

    The Px8's proprietary noise cancellation technology ensures outstanding performance with no impact on musicality. Six microphones work together to deliver the best results, both for noise cancellation and clearer voice calls.

    Real World Listening Features

    Px8 "real world listening features" include Bowers & Wilkins' latest innovations in Active Noise Cancellation, Ambient Pass-Through and enhanced Wear Sensing technologies. B&W's latest generation noise cancellation delivers an uncompromised listening experience.

    Ambient Pass-Through enables external sounds, such as conversation or safety announcements, to be heard clearly without any need to remove the headphones. The Wear Sensing feature enables the Px8 to respond naturally, pausing and resuming the music simply by lifting either earpiece on or off your ear.

    These features can be enabled and further customized via the Bowers & Wilkins Music app, available for free on iOS and Android devices.

    Long-Term Comfort

    Cast aluminum arms and fine Nappa leather trim leave you in no doubt that Px8 is a headphone every bit as special as it sounds. And with 30 hours of listening from a single charge, you can enjoy the experience for over a day at a time.

    "Rhythmic expression is good, thanks in large part to the command over low-frequency attack and decay the Bowers & Wilkins displays. Tonality is utterly convincing, too. The Px8 has sufficient insight into texture to make every instrument sound lifelike, even if the "instrument" in question never existed outside a laptop and a pair of musician's headphones. There's substance at the top of the frequency range, assertiveness at the bottom, and complete positivity in the midrange. Consequently, the Px8 always sounds confident, assertive, and beautifully balanced.

    "In truth, the sonic gains the Px8 makes over its Px7 S2 siblings are no more pronounced than the aesthetic gains or the gains in tactility. That the Px8 is better than its more affordable relatives in every respect isn't a difficult conclusion to reach—but deciding whether it's worth the premium is a trickier question.

    Ultimately, you're the only one who knows whether you can justify the outlay or not. But if you can, be assured you're buying some of the best wireless headphones around, at any price."
