The Px8 stands out as a premium wireless headphone built for sound quality first, with strong build quality and a very polished feel. The audio is repeatedly described as better than Sony XM5 and Bose, and it is framed as the better choice for music listening than for noise canceling. The main drawback is weaker ANC and mediocre microphone performance, including reports of white noise or imbalance when moving. This is a last gen model, so older stock and battery longevity are worth keeping in mind, making it a refined pick if music matters most.

Common Questions (4)

  • The ANC is considered weaker than Sony XM5 or Bose QC and may leave much to be desired if noise blocking is your priority. It is a better fit for music lovers who care more about sound quality than maximum cancellation.

  • Yes. The Px8 is described as leagues better than the Sony XM5 for sound quality and far ahead of Sony and Bose overall, with premium build quality to match. The tradeoff is that B&W prioritizes audio over noise canceling, so it is aimed more at music listening than ANC-first use.

  • Yes, the PX series is reported to have a white-noise issue when moving, and the Bluetooth microphones are described as poor. That makes the Px8 a weaker choice if you need reliable calls or head-movement stability.

  • This listing is for the last-gen Px8, not the newer Px8 S2. That matters because some shoppers prefer waiting for the S2 or buying newer stock when spending this much on wireless headphones.

Not really, I have the px7 and their ANC leaves much to be desired. Also, their microphones are faulty because when you tilt your head there's a whoosh sound and the ANC becomes unbalanced.

I would go with XM5 or Bose QC over these, at least their ANC is consistent. Heck, even the Fidelio L3s are better...
Valid concerns. I've had these headphones for a year. If you're looking for ANC / mic, these are not the headphones for you.

These headphones are for you if you want great audio quality.

This is last gen model px8. Buy old stock of wireless headphones with caution as the included battery will only last a couple of years. When you spend this much on cans, you are better off with a set that will last. If this were the Px8 S2 (second edition) I would have grabbed one.

I got mine for $235 used-mint and couldn't be happier with the sound and build quality. Lightyears beyond the big names like Sony, Bose, etc

bathys MG are literally twice the price. what do you think?
That doesn't mean a thing anymore. I've got various levels of headphones and earbuds. Twice the price doesn't necessarily get you anywhere near twice the performance. It's called diminishing return.

A "couple" of years? I sincerely doubt it will die that quickly. I have a pair of 6 year old Sony WH-1000XM3s (older than these PX8s) whose battery life is still very close to what it was when they were new.

There's a trade off between sound quality and ANC that every vendor has to make. B&W chooses sound quality so the ANC won't be as good. As long as you know what you're getting into, you'll get a fine product.

All things being equal, possibly. But B&W also uses improved quality drivers and amplification, better than Sony. And they could always provide two levels of ANC; one to maximize audio quality and one to maximize noise cancelling (and one to turn it off, which they already have). So overall, I don't buy it.

I definitely acknowledge what you're saying. If I made some assumptions, it would be that they actively choose to invest less research/effort into the ANC, and/or they don't want to compromise on sound quality.

It certainly means something. It means twice the cost, literally. 100% more expensive.

Nothing in commerce has their intrinsic value directly tied to it's dollar price, that's a given. A "diminishing return" is a return no less.

Whether it's worth it to you depends on how rich you are I guess.
