This is an enjoyable and useful presentation, Craig. I, essentially, agree with all of your points, having owned or tried all the headphones mentioned. Unlike you, I do consider myself a bit of an obsessive audiophile, so I also purchased the Bowers & Wilkins PX8 headphones, simply because I love my PX7 S2 headphones, and presumed that would be a worthwhile investment in an upgrade. Well, I was wrong. I absolutely prefer the PX7 S2's. For me, the PX8's are overly strident and harsh sounding (YES harsh, mainly in low treble, though the bass too to a lessor degree), noticeably heavier feeling, and the leather made only a very slight comfort difference. I'm guessing my displeasure with the PX8 might have something to do with the extra responsiveness of the carbon cones on that model. So, in my experience, nobody is missing anything by not spending $300 US dollars more for the PX8's. Hope you find this interesting.
Sincere thanks for your very kind words and incredible insights. I would’ve had to sell a kidney to afford the PX8. Thanks again for taking the time to write.
Thanks for the comment ,I was looking for a "real " person who tried the PX7 S2 & PX8 , cause I wanted to buy only one of them and I was not able to make my mind weather the 300€ difference is worth it
Good video , I have to make my decision on whether to get the momentum 4s or these ones but to be honest , having some good looking headphones are way more important than having them have better active noise cancelling because it’s kind of like a fashion , where if your headphones look good , you automatically want to wear them more . And these ones sounds good also . So I think I’m going to go for these instead .
Thank you very much for your message. To be honest, I don’t think you can go wrong with these or the M4’s… I still struggle a bit with the Momentum 4 design, but (as you know) they are a great product. Since uploading this video so have continued to wear these B&Ws and if somebody stole them, I’d buy the same pair again, tomorrow. I still find them a terrific product for the price! Again, thank you for stopping by here and good luck with your purchase!
To all people reading on review done by the reviewer on the Bowers & Wikins PX 7 or PX8 . Please do not trust them at all, because i am a singaporean who bought my Bowers & wikins at Jaben singapore on 18/09/2023. With Totally disappointment and it is not cheap selling at singapore dollars $935.00. The sound quality is totally disappointed as their claim the sound use to be so good & i can honestly tell you is totally rubbish, why the low bass frequency is very boomy and muddy sound not clean bass. The mid range vocal is very hold back and not rich and warm. The high frequency is very bright sound after adjusting the equalizer setting. The noise cancelation is the worse of all , when i switch the active noise cancelation on i would 100% hear the standing fan wind spinning noise . Overall all what those reviewer on UA-cam who claim are not true because they dont bought the Bowers & wikins PX 8 themselves but are loan to them for review purpose only. kindly take note if not you live to regret after buying it with your hard earn money!!!!!!
Maybe you got a bad set. I have listened to all of the products priced around this price-point. I am simply sharing my personal opinions and experiences. I don't have any affiliation with B&W, and I don't get a single cent for this review. I would always encourage people to listen-before-purchasing. Let them make their own opinion. Have a nice day.
