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.

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...

- Sound quality
- Design
- Material
- Very dominant bass
- Wearing comfort for prolonged listening
With the Px8 S2, Bowers & Wilkins shows that wireless headphones no longer have to hide behind wired high-end headphones. The material, design and sound quality are on a par. I only have to criticise the (to my ear) dominant bass (although this can be corrected) and the wearing comfort when listening for long periods...
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...

Very good90/100
- Detailed and natural sound
- Luxurious construction and perfect fit
- Intelligent operation and well thought-out button layout
- Not as effective noise cancellation as the Sony WH-1000XM5
- The app is functional, but could offer more options
The Bowers & Wilkins Px8 S2 luxury headphones combine high-end design with a sound that feels truly exclusive. With a balanced ANC solution, physical buttons and audio optimisations in every detail, listening to music becomes a ritual. These are headphones you'll put on with a smile and want to wear forever.
