Audio46's Opinion
The uber-classy Bowers and Wilkins PX8 offers a spacious soundstage, energetic sub-bass, intimate vocals, colorful highs, strong active noise cancellation (ANC), and an elegant build. You'll get around 30 hours of playtime, and a quick 15-minute charge gives you seven hours of playback. Unlike so many other Bluetooth headphones in this price range, the Px8 provides a surprisingly open soundscape with natural placement of instruments and vocals, creating an immersive experience similar to high-quality wired closed-back headphones. The bass is deep and powerful, while the midrange has clarity and impact. The low-mids may lack some body for some listeners, but the upper mids shine, bringing vocals forward. The highs are present without being harsh, adding detail and crispness to the sound. It's quite a big leap in skill from the PX7, though an admittedly expensive one. But at the end of the day, Bowers & Wilkins is a luxury audio brand that whispers, "I've made it." Hence the price tag.

PX8
Px8 is our flagship wireless headphone. It’s the ultimate combination of exceptional performance, premium materials, intelligent technology, and smart features.
A new reference in headphones
We’ve never made a better headphone than Px8. 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.
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
Px8 uses 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
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.
Comfort, for longer
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.
