Perfect fit they are so comfortable great quality and although quite expensive they are well worth the moneyThey come in a nice quality caseThe sound is fantastic.I quickly found the controls and the appGreat pair of headphone

Bought for my husband & he’s very, very impressed - which doesn’t happen often. Fantastic sound quality, really comfortable, pairs effortlessly.

I am no audiophile just to clarify so I'll use simple words.I've waited with reviev few weeks due to people complaining about charging problem but I didn't get it so here I am.I felt in love with them when I first tried them in shop and when I had all my refunds in place I bought them straight away.They are bassy - just what I was looking for. I wanted headphone which outplay all of those which are top in rankings and they do.They are similar to momentum 3 soundwise (loud, clear and with loads of juice) and they are much better than all the Sony's, Bose's, beats, etc. They are even better than bathys.Even though ANC is not the best it's still very good.They sit tight on head but not to tight. They are not getting loosed - they stay in size which you set.Design is up to your preference but for me they look outstanding. When you see them you'll know they are not market bought.I loved them.@Edit after 6 months on two pairs of PX8'S.Sound is still amazing and I love it but quality of a headphones is not there - you're paying ~600£ and not getting quality you'd expect. Leather on a headband is coming of after few months and it looks tragic. Had this problem in both pairs. I am not buying them anymore.

To preface all of the following - I wear glasses and have an odd shaped head. You'll see why this matters in a moment.I've been out of the audiophile game for a few years but after a recent windfall I fancied a nice set of ANC headphones and after a bit of lusting settled on the PX8.The sound this headset produce is genuinely impressive, the sound stage is broader than I expected though not airy.The bass and treble is very articulate and have genuinely revealed more to me in music I have listened to for years, including with my old DAC and Sennies I've used since my last thrust into Audiophilia.Using the B&W app I've dropped the Bass by -2dB and found this really brings the mids forward and balances the signature out to my ear.The 3D imaging is shocking at times, I have genuinely jumped thinking something is happening near me when something zips past in a song.In short - the audio is excellent, and I am very happy.So what's with the intro? Well, here's the thing. The sound stage shifts, to my ear. Odd statement, but sometimes it sounds like instead of the band being directly in-front they are playing off to the left or right, or the Treble and Bass are balanced but all the mids are subdued to one side so it sounds like a guitarist is sat way off to the side on a stool while all the other musicians are still ahead.It took me a while to figure this out. I initially thought it was an imbalance in the drivers, then I thought it was ear wax, maybe inconsistent voltage from the battery, dodgy amp in the headset??Nope, compression of the ear cups. Whichever side sounds thin, I tighten the headband and push the cup up against the ear and it goes away. I'd read before purchase that clamp was decent on these, and they feel solid on my head and sealed around my glasses, so I don't really understand what's going on here, but I found my fix and the issue is resolved.Having a weird head isnt cause for a loss of a star though, so what's that about? The ANC. I knew going in that this would not be market leading, I'd seen the reviews and knew there were better options for this, and while ANC was a prerequisite it was not the main priority - I just wanted a lovely sound with less of the crowd noise.That said, the ANC has some incredible blind spots, literally areas around me where it simply cancels nothing. If I stood in a crowd or a supermarket with my eyes closed I could not tell you what's going on to the front or to either side of me. Behind me, or at specific degrees to the forward left or right though, I can hear everything.It's really disappointing, and I've not heard anyone mention this before. This specific problem is the reason I've dropped a star. It's a jarring and intrusive fault.Any other problems? The app options are a bit basic, mentioned in reviews. The subdued and refined looks I feel are entirely ruined by the big silver branding on the cups, aware of before purchase and growing on me. Terrified of losing them? Predictable.4 Stars then. Thanks for reading.

Well what can I say about the bowers & Wilkins px8’s; other than profusely foaming at the mouth. These headphones look stunning; after coming from the Bose 700’s which are a very good pair of headphones for the me the let down was the little rattle you get if you walk a bit fast. (Due to it being made of plastic) no such isssues with px8’s. The audio is bright and vibrant. Now I’m no audiophile I’m not going to bamboozle you with terminology and expert advice. But I like the soundstage. And the app is pretty decent. Might not offer much in the sense of the equaliser but it is good enough. I find these headphones great. Haven’t quite tested the battery yet. So not sure on the 30 hour battery life. Though i find most claims from headphones to be true and if not it’s not always far off. Now off course the big question can you justify paying such a price. This is the big one right? I myself found them worth it. The noise cancellation is decent (might not beat Sony) but they do a very good job. And yes there are cheaper decent headphones out there. The aforementioned bose 700’s which are a very good pair of headphones or the Sony m5’s. So this comes down to affordability. I myself would recommend these. You’ll be riding the Victoria line or Piccadilly line the envy of other passengers 😀 (or maybe not) hopefully I’ve been helpful. If I haven’t I apologise greatly.
