It’s the ultimate combination of exceptional performance, premium materials, intelligent technology, and smart features.
A new reference in headphones
We’ve never made a better headphone than Px8. A high-resolution 24-bit DSP is partnered with all-new driver technology to deliver outstanding resolution, capable of capturing nuances in your music that may otherwise be missed. This is headphone listening on all-new levels of immersion and realism.
No wires, no noise, no compromises. Engineered to excel, the Bowers & Wilkins Px8 headphones combine cutting-edge audio technology with advanced noise cancellation for B&W's most accurate and immersive sound yet. Painstakingly crafted from aluminium and leather, they’re every bit as special to own as they are to listen to.
Hear your music as it was meant to be heard. Hear True.
INSPIRED SOUND
The heart of the Px8 is the same active noise cancelling wireless platform found in the Px7 S2, already one of the best-sounding headphones in its class. In Px8, that stellar performance is taken to even greater heights of detail, resolution and spaciousness thanks to all-new bespoke 40mm Carbon Cone drive units.
Inspired by the Carbon Dome drive units used in Bowers & Wilkins highly successful 700 Series loudspeaker range, the Px8’s new Carbon Cones deliver an unparalleled combination of ultra-fast response plus exceptionally low distortion throughout the frequency range. The result is resolution, detail and timing that surpasses the high bar set by the Px7 S2, ensuring an even more engaging and natural musical performance that gets closer than ever to the True Sound of the artist’s intent.
The Carbon Cone drive units in Px8 are carefully angled inside each earcup to ensure a consistent distance relative to the listener’s ear from every point across the surface of each driver, to produce a more immersive and highly accurate soundstage. The result is the best sound quality Bowers & Wilkins has ever delivered from a pair of wireless headphones.
A NEW LEADER IN HEADPHONE DESIGN
The design of Px8 is just as inspiring as its sound quality. The new headphone is available in two finishes, black leather or tan leather, and now has a cast-aluminium arm structure that references Bowers & Wilkins signature design language, plus a diamond-cut bright edge on each elliptical logo plate. The earcups, memory-foam cushions and headband are trimmed in soft, luxurious Nappa leather for the ultimate, premium feel. Together, these design and material choices ensure that Px8 confidently asserts Bowers & Wilkins’ position as a premium audio brand like no other in the category.
UNPARALLELED HIGH RESOLUTION CONNECTIVITY
The Px8 uses Qualcomm’s aptXTM Adaptive wireless technology to ensure the best possible sound quality from compatible phones, tablets and computers. USB-C and 3.5mm analogue cable connections are also supported, with both cable types included in the carry case that accompanies the product.
Whether using wireless or wired connections, the Px8 combines its ultra-high-performance drive unit configuration with powerful Bowers & Wilkins-developed DSP (Digital Signal Processing) to deliver outstanding, 24-bit high-resolution sound quality from leading streaming services.
CANCEL THE NOISE, NOT YOUR MUSIC
The Px8 uses proprietary Bowers & Wilkins-optimised noise cancellation technology to effectively shut out unwanted noise – crucially, without harming musicality in the process.
Six high-performance microphones work together to deliver the best results: two measure the output of each drive unit, two react to ambient noise from the outside world and two provide outstanding voice clarity with enhanced noise suppression.
As with Px7 S2, the performance of the system has been further improved by moving the two external microphones closer together, adjusting the angling of each microphone to improve voice capture and changing the position of the second mic to reduce wind noise interference.
