”There is a level of clarity and insight here that we haven’t heard bettered at this level.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ – 5 Star review.
Flagship wireless headphones that set the standard
The Bowers & Wilkins Px8 headphones stand at the top of an already impressive range. Combining exceptional audio performance, premium materials, intelligent technology and iconic style, the Px8s really are the best of the best.
Award-winning sound quality
At the heart of the Px8 is a high-resolution, 24-bit DSP (Digital Signal Processor). Combined with aptX Adaptive wireless technology, this means that you get the very best Bluetooth sound possible. As you’d expect from this premium audio company, the drive units are something special. Carbon-coned and angled towards your ears, the drive units deliver a sound that’s crystal-clear, accurate packed full of detail.
Outside noise – cancelled
Proof that not all ANC (Active Noise Cancelling) headphones are made equal, the Px8 cancels outside noise with outstanding precision. Six microphones work with Bowers & Wilkins’ proprietary noise cancelling technology for superb background noise suppression, without affecting the musicality. A further benefit is when making calls, your voice sounds clearer and less distorted to your caller.
Premium comfort
Befitting a flagship model, the Px8 uses premium quality materials. Cast aluminium arms contrast with Nappa leather trim for a luxurious aesthetic. Soft pads surround your ears and, because the arms supply just the right amount of pressure, you get the perfect balance of a snug fit, without feeling the pressure. They’re also lighter than many of their rivals, further improving their long-term comfort.
Control your headphones, with the Bowers & Wilkins Music app
Bowers & Wilkins’ Music app lets you access a range of handy features. From here, you can control the ANC level, check battery level and set a standby timer. The latest revisions also introduce more tailored acoustic settings – including adjustments for bass and treble.
Extra-long battery life
With up to 30 hours battery life, the Px8s easily have enough juice for a week or two’s worth of commuting. What’s more, this is with Bluetooth and ANC activated, so you don’t have to go without noise isolation to get this battery life. If you’re in a hurry, just 15 minutes of charge is enough for seven hours playback.
Get to the heart of your music, with the Bowers & Wilkins Px8 headphones.

Wow… but pricey
Took the plunge having watched/read every review around. Fantastic build quality, impressive audio on every level, better than any other headphone I’ve listened to. Decent app, but not works bearing in terms of functionality. Really effective noise cancelling and comfortable to wear for prolonged periods. A seriously big price tag though, it would have been nice to have a demonstration, but my local store didn’t have stock. Richer Sounds service ihas always been great in my experience. The product was delivered quickly and safely. So are they value for money, that’s such a subjective question. I think they are better than the PX7 S2, they are built to last and sound amazing. Do they pass the test, “would I make the same decision again” Yes I would. Would I like them to be cheaper, of course

Great pair of wireless headphones
Excellent sound ( for wireless headphones ), goes loud and even louder when on cable. Battery life is solid ( 30h ), build quality and the case it comes in are high quality.
They also connect to two devices simultaneously. You can configure treble, bass and the quick action button ( switch modes or open assistant) in the app. The noise cancellation is decent, Sony has better noise cancellation if that is what you are after. The only funky thing is the wear sensor ( pauses when you take them off ) but it can be configured.
All in all solid but quite expensive. If good sound in wireless headphones is what you are after these are for you, otherwise go for Sony or Apple Max.
