The Px8 S2 is Bowers & Wilkins' best headphone ever. It's a remarkable achievement, as the manufacturer has set the bar very high with each new release. The combination of top-notch sound quality, premium finish and high comfort is what has made Bowers & Wilkins headphones coveted by audiophiles around the world.
Lots of new
A careful redesign has made the Px8 S2 even thinner, lighter and more comfortable. The new, more compact storage case fits easily on the go. As you would expect from a flagship, the finish is first-class in every way. Luxurious nappa leather covers the surfaces that touch the head. Aluminum parts and stylish details combine lightness, mechanical durability and sophisticated design perfectly. The new model has improved ergonomics even further. Your fingers can reach the buttons with comfort and precision even more easily.
The already high-quality 40 mm Carbon Dome drivers have been further developed in many ways. The frame, voice coil, suspension and magnet have been optimized throughout, and the drivers are positioned at a carefully considered angle to the listener's ears. This ensures a uniform distance from the entire driver surface to the ear, which improves the accuracy of the sound image and the sense of space. The headphone amplifier driving the drivers and Qualcomm's latest innovations, including support for the aptX Lossless codec, bring more power and scale to the sound.
Effective noise cancellation and crystal clear sound
A new noise-cancelling system with eight microphones ensures that external disturbances are kept at bay. Achieving reference-level sound quality and a comfortable user experience in noise-cancelling mode requires expertise and smart choices in headphone design - Bowers & Wilkins is a pioneer in this regard. New technology, including ADI Pure Voice technology, also ensures impressive hands-free audibility during calls and meetings.
30-hour battery life and a sweet control app
The Px8 S2 headphones offer up to 30 hours of listening time on a single charge. The quick charge feature allows for up to 7 more hours of listening time with just 15 minutes of charging. Like other new Bowers & Wilkins headband and earbud headphones, the Px8 S2 can be controlled in a variety of ways using the Music app (iOS and Android). From the app, you can adjust noise cancellation settings, check battery status, choose the sensitivity of the motion detection and assign your own function to the headphones' Quick Action button. Also new is an adjustable five-band equalizer, which
settings can be saved as easy-to-use presets. Alternatively, you can select True Sound mode, which matches the optimized tuning selected by Bowers & Wilkins' Southwater Research Establishment (SRE) acoustics team.
In short,
The Px8 S2 headphones offer market-leading performance in both sound quality and comfort, making them the ideal choice for any music lover. The Px8 S2 is also ready for the future and new technologies. Future software updates promise to include surround sound support, Bluetooth® LE Audio, and Auracast™ compatibility.
