"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."
"Hugely Capable Performers"
"Overall, the Bowers & Wilkins Px8 are hugely capable performers that justify their price with a combination of build and sound quality that cheaper alternatives just can’t match," notes a Five Star review by What Hi-Fi? magazine, October 24, 2022. "Apple’s AirPods Max may have kick-started the market for higher-end wireless noise-cancelling headphones but, to our ears, these B&Ws deliver even more in the way of musical insight and enjoyment."
"They are a fine effort that deserve serious consideration if you are buying at this level."
"Highly Recommended"
"It’s the best version of the platform that Bowers & Wilkins has been carefully refining and that results in a device that is startlingly capable and viceless to live with," concludes Ed Selley, honoring the PV8 with a Highly Recommended award from avforums.com magazine, October 7, 2022.
"The PX8 is a headphone that delivers a compelling all round experience that many will find irresistible and it comes Highly Recommended as a result." </p
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.
"A Very Good Set of Headphones"
"The Bowers & Wilkins PX8 is a very good set of headphones," observes Christian Thomas, soundguys.com, June 5, 2024. "Looks matter a lot to some folks, and in that regard, these are probably the best-looking ANC headphones at this price point until you get to something like the Focal Bathys. The Bowers & Wilkins PX8’s three colorways are quite attractive in a way that the rest of the ANC headphone segment simply isn’t, and that could be enough to tip the scales for some."
"They are gorgeous. They sound better than most headphones in their class and look better than all of them at this stage," reports Jerry Del Colliano, futureaudiophile.com, December 21, 2022. "The Bowers & Wilkins Px8s aren’t cheap, but they are solid performers and, depending on your needs, you’ve got all sorts of options. My wife tried to hijack my Bowers & Wilkins Px8s the second I cracked open the box, but she’s not getting them."
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.
