If your head is smaller than 60cm, then they won't fit. My wife has a small head, so the headphones often slip under her ears
It will have to be a very high volume; you will not be able to use the headset.
Helpful answer
I have the headphones connected to my iPhone. Switching off the PX8 and switching it on again is completely sufficient.

The device has an energy-saving mode, which can also be recognised on the device itself, as the indicator light no longer lights up. If you briefly move the power switch upwards, the device wakes up again and reconnects immediately.
I don't think this behaviour is specifically described in the operating instructions. I think it only describes that the wear detection would trigger this behaviour, but not a missing signal. So I can actually only confirm that my device behaves in exactly the same way. What I haven't tried is that you can probably set the time until it triggers in the app.

I agree with the previous writer: most people probably have either one or the other. I have the B&W Px8 and I'm thrilled. You can find an in-depth review at

The price quoted there is now half the price.
Unfortunately, we do not carry the spare part individually in our range as we do not have a source of supply for it. I recommend contacting the manufacturer directly: https://support-de.bowerswilkins.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/8210/~/ersatzteile-f%C3%BCr-kopfh%C3%B6rer

The Bowers & Wilkins Px8 and Px7 S2e differ in several key areas:
## Build quality and materials
- The Px8 have a luxurious construction with die-cast aluminium armatures, diamond-cut, brushed aluminium driver housings and genuine Nappa leather on the ear cups. In contrast, the Px7 S2e uses a simple but robust polymer material with faux leather and fabric accents on the ear cups.
## Driver technology
- The Px8 use 40mm dynamic drivers with a new carbon cone (carbon dome), while the Px7 S2e use 40mm drivers with biocellulose diaphragms. The carbon cones of the Px8 offer lower distortion and better midrange detail.
## Weight
- The Px8 are slightly heavier than the Px7 S2e due to the use of aluminium and Nappa leather. The Px8 weigh about 320g, while the Px7 S2e weigh about 307g.
## Sound Quality
- The Px8s offer a more detailed midrange response and a better dynamic range in the treble range. This results in an open and clear sound reproduction, especially for music with many layers of instruments.
## Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)
- Both models have similar ANC technology with six microphones and similar Digital Signal Processing (DSP). However, there are no significant differences in ANC performance between the two models.
## Price
- The Px8 are significantly more expensive than the Px7 S2e, mainly due to the higher quality materials and more advanced driver technology. The Px8 cost around 699 USD, while the Px7 S2e cost around 399 USD.
These differences reflect the different target groups and usage scenarios of the two models: the Px8 are designed for discerning listeners with a focus on luxury and the highest sound quality, while the Px7 S2e offer a more affordable, yet high-quality alternative for everyday use.

In my opinion, the noise cancellation is very good. You can listen to lossless audio with the iPhone via cable, which is not possible via Bluetooth.
