@@mw6563 congrats, and I’m sure you will enjoy them. Let me know what you think once you’ve had a chance to play with them.

@@johnadair4693 appt we’d costs the subscription. Are you looking for something wired for in-home listening. Open-ear or closed-ear?

@@BruceClark-p2z thanks, we appreciate that. We’ve got another one coming up in February

@@ooLonestar I don’t know their specific method, but if you’d like to describe it a bit, I’d be happy to discuss. Appreciate the watch. It is a fair amount of information so I know it can take some time if you’re really giving it a watch.

I’m sure you’ll love them. Let me know! And Happy New Year!

@ happy new years to you as well!

I appreciate you watching and thanks for the kind words!

@@Bob-Fields fair enough. I’m guessing there’s a personal experience to go with that comment? Luckily there are plenty of good subs out there including Grimani’s products, which play loud and clean, although at a higher price. What are you using to drive your system currently, and how many?

@@സാക്ഷി-പ3ഫ glad it helped. Have a few more I want to put out at some point. Plus making more new content in 2025. Have a Happy New Year!

I appreciate that JJW-3. I try to make them relatively objective, perhaps a touch of humor, and provide people with an actual opinion, rather than just saying all products are great. If you’re looking for a set, they are solid. If you need any additional comparison thoughts based on your needs, feel free to let me know in the comments, as I try to make sure I answer every one. And if you didn’t like and subscribe, please do, I’m super close to getting 1,000 subscribers before the end of the year, which would be very cool. If you did, thank you, I appreciate it, and welcome to the FAQ’n family!!! 😉🎉

@@JamieW-o7b hmm, that’s odd. Is this with the S2e, or the earlier PX7, or Px7s2? I didn’t see too much of that looking in the forums, but I may see if I can get an answer from a previous colleague that’s still there. Did you call support for replacement pads? If so, did they get you taken care of.

I''ve had to replace the left ear pad TWICE on my Px7 S2, and it's beginning to split away from the gold band AGAIN. The right ear pad is the original, so I suspect a manufacturing quality control problem - unacceptable at this price point.

@@henrybudnik6999 agreed, although there is a difference between a random error, but if the replacement pad does it that’s not good. I think I saw the head of headphones post something the other day, so I’ll see if he has any thoughts on the subject. In the meantime, definitely give support a call and have them send out another set. Again, I haven’t seen anything like that on mine or from the others I know recently purchased or won them, and when I searched there were too many examples of it, but perhaps a bad batch of glue, humidity, or something else that got into some of them. If I hear anything back I’ll be sure to let you know.

@@garyharper2943 🤣 I hear ya, and not everyone will do it. For a bunch of us though, we enjoy the process, so spending a day or two getting it just right, makes all of those listening and movie sessions all the more sweeter! I appreciate you watching and commenting though, and I do plan to make a few videos next year that break it down into more manageable pieces, as well as a solid tutorial on REW, which I think could be beneficial for a lot of people that like to measure and tweak. Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays Gary, and everyone on here!

@ Happy Holidays to you and yours!

Agreed man i just want ungodly amounts of bass its fun just playing with it for me I don't use DSP or any of that Crap my system is entirely Analog so I got full control and a bunch of knobs to turn and I like it that way and wouldn't have it any other way how good or crappy something sounds is totally subjective anyway so none of this matters anyway just make it sound the way you like it

@@MrKrampyHands fair enough, and I always agree, just enjoy what you have, and if you like it, that’s enough. However, for those who want to better understand how it works, and how to make good sound better, there are some tools to do that, and in the digital realm refinement becomes even better. Enjoy your system! 🤘

@@everope there is always something new to learn, so glad this did that for you today. In 2025, I’ve got a bunch of new content coming out, from building acoustic panels, programming Dirac Live and other tools properly, proper microphone positioning and utilizing REW to get the best sound possible. The goal is to make them objective and measurable, rather than hyping a particular brand. I’d rather provide the learning on how to do something, so that people can do it with whatever brand they want. If you didn’t already, I’d appreciate a like and subscribe, so I can help grow the community. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Well yes, I bought a couple of pairs because worst case they go to the wife and kid. But I bought them myself, they weren’t given to me, so if I didn’t like them, it would make more sense to trash them because I sunk more money into them. But I helped design them, I knew the sound of the previous versions, and friends at the company said the specific issues I had were better, so it was a calculated risk.

You mentioned the Px7S2 twice, but assuming you mean between the S2 and S2e. The "e" main upgrade is that it uses the chipset in the Px8. It doesn't have the same driver so not the same sound, and is likely partially a cost savings, by using the same chipset, but likely offers a bit of a sound upgrade. I'm not sure how big of an issue earcups coming off was. I've lived with them hooked onto my backpack with no case, and they've survived multiple trips and a fair amount of use. When I saw this, I of course naturally started trying to detach mine, and it's hard enough that I had to stop because although I'm happy to buy stuff to test, I didn't want to break anything. But I see no issues, and just did a quick search, and don't see anything widespread in the current or previous products. Did you have issues with a previous pair, or just seeing a few posts in your search for a new headphone?

@@emiliofarias4247 yeah, I have that same issue. Obviously fit is specific to the person, but I often have a squeezing issue, and I had these in again for two 3-4 hour sessions going back and forth to Colorado again last week, and never had a problem.

@@welderfixer I hear you, and that’s often the importance of having a documented process for both the sales side, to understand if it’s profitable, as well as the work side, to make sure you have the appropriate staff and time available to allocate. I think we’ve all been there when we don’t want to say no to the new client, but it comes at the expense of someone. If you know you can’t handle it because the process says so, then it becomes convincing them why they should wait for your services, which will likely be a future topic as well.

@@faqnatics Thanks Brett. After 30+ years of trying to be a "businessman" and filing chapter 13 last year I have finally realized I am not cut out for running a company of any size, pretty much ahs always been just me. If fact, I'm not much good for anything at the moment. Too much work stacked up, no income from all of the time I put in. No F'ing future at all. Meanwhile all of the filthy rotten cheats and crooks are living the high life while ripping everyone off including their employees. So, in a business plan a certain amount of dishonesty and dishonor seems to be necessary along with all of the other things. Oh, lets not forget the government portion(s) that they think is theirs just because they exist! Honestly, trying to be so-called successful is pure fantasy unless you have a suitcase or two full of $100 bills, are chosen by God himself and you have the mindset of a gangster. Good luck and many blessing to you, your family and all those around you. Maybe next year will be better for everyone - except me of course.

@@jeffleigh3747 appreciated and thank you!

@@briantmorin I’m glad the review helped. I think the Px7S2 may be on sale at Costco and a few places for even less. The fit and finish should be relatively the same, and I’m sure they will sound good. With that said, the S2e feature the upgraded chipset, so it is an upgrade but based on budget, I’d go with an S2 if that’s what fits the budget.

I’m glad you were able to find this helpful, and I agree Anthony puts out some solid information. I’ve also been following Matt Poes for a bit now and his short video answers to comment questions is great as well. Rock on, or whatever genre you and your band play… 😉🥃

Buy the PX-8's if there is so little difference in price!

@PeterWhite-q1k i did, i bought px8

Good choice. Couldn’t go wrong with either, but with both on sale it’s like a free upgrade if you want that version. Enjoy and thanks for watching and subscribing.

Well, great bass is limited by physics. Controlling low frequency waves requires an ability to both control peaks and dips in the room, as well as achieving pressurization in the room. One sub no matter the size isn’t going to get it done, unless it’s a single seat system. So for most people starting with 2 or 4 smaller subs will often provide cleaner response, and often for less than 1-2 larger subs. Otherwise, spend the time to find the best location for the sub, and realize you will have hot and cold spots in the room. That’s not manufacturers trying to sell you more subs, it’s what the objective mic checked response in just about any residential sized room will show. Doesn’t mean you can’t start with one, and then a year or more later add another one. Wish it was free, would save me a lot of money.

@@faqnatics After spending a few hours with REW, I managed to get the overall response to about 10db variation(<300Hz), (Except a nasty peak at 100Hz-which is 5dB higher), do you think it would be wise to buy a 2nd subwoofer or a miniDSP, I do not have the option of placing them centre room, just in the front corners. Currently sub is in back right corner, going to try moving that to front right, then if I get a 2nd, front-left. Thanks for your reply.

Can’t go wrong with either. I prefer the looks of the B&W with the choice of materials, but the cloth headband on the Momentum 4 looks good, I just don’t like the ultra flat look of the eat up as much. Also, with some cloth headbands, they get snagged and hooked onto things in your bag, and issue I don’t find as much with the tighter weave on the Px7S2e. I haven’t played with the M4, and may need to. But I’m happy with my B&W, so I hate buying more headphones when now not fully relatable to my job. I did buy a pair of Sonos Ace headphones to see how they do in their larger ecosystem, but as a BR headphone, I wouldn’t do it. Gonna try to get a review on that up soon as well.

Appreciate you taking the time to watch. Trying to bring some industry trainings to the passionate masses.

Hey Amelia. I’d say both have a relatively similar fit. Leakage is always tough, because higher clamp force on the ears solves it, but too much and you don’t want to wear them for more than 30 minutes. Both are comfortable to wear for long hours, and both keep most of the bass inside. I think the plastic shell of the Sony allows for a bit more outside reverb, which isn’t the same as leakage, but does mean that some of that bass energy is lost vibrating the earcup, rather than directing towards the listener. This is where the premium and more inert materials of the B&W headphones help to keep the sound energy directed towards the listener. Hope that helps.

Glad I was on target, and no doubt on getting rid of all the XLR cables. I did some quick research, and I don’t see anything mentioned in the RMC1+ that says it has AES67 or Dante available to it. This would be a requirement, as you need this protocol on both ends to make it work. Point me to something if you’ve seen this, and I’m happy to help verify it for you. I was working during CEDIA, so didn’t get a chance to see the product in person, but it’s an expensive product so let’s just make sure it does everything you want! 😉

Appreciate it, and thanks for giving it a watch. I bought a pair of Sonos Ace recently so may run through those shortly as well.

@@faqnatics nice, looking forward to it (though I've just ordered this one)! One question- how do you reckon the higher clamping force will feel on a large head? I do have a Melon™ so while I'm excited for my pair to arrive, I'm trying to keep my hype down just in case they don't fit well... which would suck because from the current lineup of ANC headphones, these seem to be the most robust with the least compromises

I’m sure Anthony will appreciate that. UMIK-1 is a great product, plus you get to connect directly into the laptop. Have fun with your setup and tweaking.

Here’s what I think you’re asking, but let me know if I misunderstood. There are a few “AES” designations to pay attention to. For the purposes of send multi-channel high-res audio, 2-way communication, etc, we are discussing AES67, which is what you’d be looking for. It can be used on a 16/24/32 processor, the limit to the channel assignments really just comes to a limit in the processor. My StormAudio processor as an example has 32 AoIP outputs, which I can use in multiple configurations or setups in multiple rooms. Really the only constraint is having Ethernet cables connected over the network. Connections are as simple as an AES67 Ethernet port from the processor, source, etc. into a network switch, and then an Ethernet cable from the switch to the AES67 port on the back of you amplifier of amplified speaker. Then after discovering them, you can configure them however you want. Does that answer the question? Either way let me know and have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Appreciated. Trying to make it fun, and not just a commercial for a brand. Never 100% perfect for everyone, so try to keep it more objective where I can.

I appreciate that Dan. I try not to fanboy or make commercials, but objectively talk about scenarios a headphone might work for you. I’ve been in the industry for almost 25 years, and fortunately there is always another opportunity it’s out there. In fact I just started a new role creating content for a major educational buying group in our industry, but more in that next month. Fortunately though, it will allow me to make more and better content in 2025 for everyone here. Happy Thanksgiving.

No, they operate on BT5.2, which is pretty standard for the recent Bose and Sony models as well. From what I know of 5.4, a lot of the difference revolves around point to multipoint (not for audio), but in the data, or retail price tagging. Distance, codecs, and other features are the same, although I’m sure there is, as always, a bit of a reliability upgrade. Really for tech like BT, it just depends on when a headphone is released as to who has the latest version. Plus since lossless protocols like AAC and AptX have been out for years, it’s the drivers, wiring, and DSP that are going to have the biggest result on the sound. As an example I do have a pair of Sonos Ace headphones which are on 5.4, but don’t sound as good, or have the ANC of the Px7S2e, Sony, or Bose models. I’ll have a deeper review during the holidays, but personally while I like knowing my toys have the latest tech, I wouldn’t be too worried about 5.2 vs 5.4 as a deal breaker. Hope that helps. If you had something more specific as a reason to ask, let me know.

@@kevin-zd4po very impassioned comment. Do you own them, or why are they garbage in your opinion? What do you like better? I don’t think the bass is thin, it’s just accurate, and not eq’d to add more bass than there should be, which is what we are used to with products chasing the Beats curve.

@ of course. That’s why commented. Px7s2 doesn’t sound very good. The px7s2e are better.

@@faqnaticsthe bass when flat is thin.

@@richarddavis748 nobody is gonna debate that!

True. But a lot of people don't realise it​@@faqnatics

@@geray89 appreciated. Trying to get out some objective reviews, with real comparison data, and real-world experiences. I’ve got a few more coming out in the next 30-60 days I hope, so if you’ve subscribed, thank you, and if not please do.

@@JasonNosajasoNosaj I haven’t yet, but would like to add one after a few home projects are done. Great way to learn the track. I was just at Thunderhill last week, and it had maybe been a year, but a few of us were complaining that the first session was trying to remember the track. I could see the driving and risk improving if I had driven the track on a sim the days before. I’ve got a great video I’ve got to post soon of my 911 Turbo, and his 911 GT3 going hard around the track. I feel like it’s a hotly contested debate between the two, so I want to get some interviews with the other driver as well to add to the commentary.

Glad it helped. Appreciate the watch, and if you didn't already please like and subscribe as I have a bunch of technology videos and reviews coming out to help educate consumers.

I double checked on this, and the Px7 S2e headphones are a faux leather (vegan leather, whatever you want to call it). It's often used as a more resilient material. On the Px8, I believe the area on the outside of the earcup and headband are nappa leather, but I'm not 100% on the earcup material itself. Hope that helps. Are you someone looking for vegan leather, or someone who wants the real thing? Always curious on people's choices, as it helps product teams to better weigh the material selection. If you haven't already, please give the video a like and subscribe. I'm playing with a pair of Sonos Ace headphones I recently bought, and should get a video out on them in the next 30 days.

Slip = Split typo

@@bobbydazzler1780 I haven’t had any material issues on mine and I wear them a fair amount the older PX7 had some headband issues, usually around comfort, but over time that pressure point could result in additional wear or failure. I’m looking at mine right now and the way the bottom and top are stitched and glued it would be hard for it to come out, but somebody always does. I always like to look at general reviews, but remember that those types of reviews tend to attract haters and fanboys, but things do fail, but service and support should be good although my first hand experience was under B&W not under Masimo.

px7 s2e'min kafa bandı pedleri çıktı. Çok fazla zorlarsanız ve büyük bir kafanız varsa, çıkacaktır.

The compression isn't too great, so they might slip if doing something vigorous, but for general weights and treadmill I think they would stay on fine. Generally though I'd recommend using in-ears for work-outs. They are less likely to move around, and the rubber tips with in-ears are far more hygienic than a leather or cloth ear cup that absorbs seat and dirt. My .02 cents. but yes, it would likely stay on during a workout.

In my opinion, they are not very suitable for sports. The pads on the headband and ears will make your ears and neck sweat after a while while you are doing sports and the weight of the headphones will start to bother you.

@@akifyldzz thanks a lot

I've been mainly going on natural views, as it's just a fun educational channel for me, but I will think about that for the future as well.

@@v7dal I don’t disagree. On one hand I’m always trying to get something out, but a lot of my content is long form and instructional, so time stamps is a good way to get people the info they want… even though hopefully all of it is engaging and useful. Appreciate the comment.

I watched the video… it was pretty good but there were some times like at the 4:55 mark that the audio level went up so much it hurt my ears.

@@247cmason I’ve got a collection of pretty much every Jack bottle and collectible bottle made. Even had a friend send me a green label which aren’t sold here on the left coast.

As I build out my theater I plan to have a bunch more videos with various sound and engineering experts on to talk about the various technologies, acoustics, and sound pressure needs in a room to delve further into the topic in a fun way everyone can understand.

Just get Px8 when it goes on sale. On prime day i got mine for like $450. They're not worth full price of $700. Personally I avoid bose, their sound signature is always flat. From my research the best value for money headphone is a Meze audio 109 pro with those 50mil carbon drivers and they even have best style, but it isn't noise canceling.

Happy to help. Hopefully you got a few options in terms of AVR. You can always pickup the Elac and they seem to be good speakers. It’s just important to match up amplification with speaker sensitivity to get the best performance.

@@faqnatics I agree, Jiles said the RZ50 will be a good upgrade, it has Dirac. I heard it is good and simple to setup with the app. I was thinking staying denon like x3800h or the Onkyo

@@Mjaybird Denon 3800 is a great pick and can be the heart of a system for years.

@@stefanbrathwaite2130 you mean the frame we used to cover the speakers? Assuming so, that was made custom by Evan Zerby of Seymour Screen excellence. He’s got some amazing building skills. Effectively the frame has a fabric tuck attached to it. You could do the same with wooden frame, or build it with an aluminum frame
