"The battle of the flagship headphones is getting interesting, and the end user will benefit hugely in terms of the product they are getting. Sony WH-1000XM6, Bose QuietComfort Ultra, Bowers & Wilkins PX8, and AirPods Max already prove where the audio accessories market is heading. Blending perfectly with modern lifestyles and bringing reference quality sonic audio to your ears was never better, and now Bowers & Wilkins has upped the ante with another pair of headphones that look good to edge the competition."
"The second generation of the model fixes irons out all these nitpicks to make them nearly perfect. Achieving studio-grade sound on closed-back headphones is an art, and the British audio expert knows their craft. Being backed by Harman's sonic expertise, B&W has created the cans in a carbon fiber housing. The in-house engineers have redesigned the 40mm Carbon Cone drivers, right from the voice coil to the suspension system."
Bowers & Wilkins released the Px8 S2 as an upgraded flagship headphone built from premium materials including Nappa leather and a CNC-machined aluminum frame. The Px8 S2 carries a $799 price, which is $100 more than the predecessor. Engineers redesigned the 40mm Carbon Cone drivers from the voice coil to the suspension, and each driver now has a dedicated amplifier to widen the soundstage and improve dynamic range. The design uses a carbon fiber housing and leverages Harman's sonic expertise to pursue studio-grade closed-back performance. Active Noise Cancellation is improved via an eight-microphone array, with four mics analyzing ambient noise and two handling calls.
