Very good90/100
The PX8 S2 shows that wireless headphones no longer have to hide behind wired top models. The material and sound are on a par. For me, however, the bass is too dominant and the wearing comfort is not ideal.
This test report belongs to a different type: Px8 S2 (ANC, 30 h, Cable, Wireless)
Good77/100
- Sounds good Sounds good Operation without question marks Quick charge function
- Wearing comfort Expensive
In view of the high price tag, the B&W Px8 S2 falls a little short of our expectations. The wearing comfort in particular leads to points being deducted. We wouldn't want to wear the over-ear headphones for longer than an hour at a time. On the other hand, the workmanship and touch quality are excellent...

Very good94/100
- Fantastic sound with lots of control, clarity and breadth
- Phenomenal workmanship and luxurious design
- Very good noise cancelling
- Very high price
- Spatial Audio and Bluetooth LE not yet available at launch
The king is dead, long live the king. Bowers & Wilkins has pushed itself out of first place in our list of the best. The B&W Px8 S2 manages to snatch the laurels from the Px7 S3 with an even better sound performance. But is it worth the extra 300 euros? If you are looking for the best uncompromising sound and flawless workmanship, yes...
