Community Reviews
The Bowers & Wilkins Px8 is a premium wireless over-ear headphone that stands out most for sound quality and build. The sound is described as far better than Sony XM5 and other big-name rivals, with a very premium feel and strong overall construction. The main tradeoff is ANC and microphone performance, which are repeatedly described as weaker than competitors and better suited to music listening than noisy commutes or calls. This is a last-gen model, so it is best for listeners who care more about audio than noise canceling.
Common Questions (3)
The Px8 is better suited to music than to noise canceling or calls. ANC is described as weaker than Sony XM5 or Bose QC, and the microphone can produce a whoosh or unbalanced ANC effect when moving your head.
The Px8 is repeatedly described as having much better sound quality than the Sony XM5 and the big Bose models. It is positioned as a headphone for audio quality first, with premium build quality to match.
It is still considered a strong deal versus the $799 MSRP, but it is the last-generation Px8 rather than the newer Px8 S2. The main caution is buying old stock of wireless headphones, since the battery is a wear item over time.

I would go with XM5 or Bose QC over these, at least their ANC is consistent. Heck, even the Fidelio L3s are better...
These headphones are for you if you want great audio quality.

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.
