Community Reviews
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.

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.
