Audio46's Opinion
The Pi8 is a fantastic true wireless product that shows a clear upgrade from the previous model. With a powerful frequency response and a new design for maximum comfort, I am sure Bowers & Wilkins users are sure to love listening on these. The soundstage is immersive and puts you in the middle of your music, with stellar imaging that is very accurate, and the low end is really powerful and the first thing you notice. Mid range has a lot of detail in the textures of different instruments. And the sound on the high end is not piercing or too shrill, and doesn't cut off very suddenly when instruments ring out.
