According to our headphones expert
Thanks to the improved drivers, you can enjoy extra clear, balanced sound.
The high-end noise canceling reduces ambient noise, so you can completely close off from your surroundings.
With the aptX Bluetooth profile, you can stream music wirelessly at the highest quality.
The headphones can't be folded to a compact size.
Due to the 310g weight, the headphones may feel heavy on your head.

With the Bowers & Wilkins Px8 S2, I hear clear, detailed sound. With noise canceling turned on, I can tune out my surroundings, allowing me to focus on work in the office. After a while, I feel the pressure of the headphones pressing against my ear.
Detailed sound With music featuring many instruments, such as jazz, I hear each instrument clearly. I find the sound deep and detailed, making it feel like I'm at a live concert. With pop music, I find the sound balanced. Vocals sound clear and distinct, yet I can also clearly hear the different layers in the background music. When I listen to podcasts or television programs, voices sound clear, allowing me to understand what's being said clearly.
Sleek design I think the headphones have a sleek design. The leather ear cushions are slightly springy, making them comfortable on my ears. The connection between the headband and the ear cushions feels sturdy, giving me the impression that the headphones will last a long time. There are control buttons on the earcups. I press these firmly. This turns the volume up or down. I also pause the music and control the noise canceling. The buttons are conveniently located on the earcups. I appreciate that I don't need my phone to operate them. The headphones have a strong clamping force, so they stay securely in place. When I walk briskly, I don't feel like they're falling off. I do notice a pressure feeling after wearing them for a few hours.
Strong noise canceling
With noise canceling turned on, I hear almost nothing of my surroundings. I don't hear the noise on public transport or in the office. If someone calls me at the office, I hear it softly. With Transmissive mode, I hear what's happening around me very clearly, because the headphones amplify the ambient sound. I use this setting when I'm cycling because I want to pay attention to what's happening around me.

The headphones are very comfortable and have a beautiful sound. I found the PX8 to be very mediocre, but the S2 exceeds my expectations.

Instead of "plastic fantastic," a solidly designed pair of headphones for a change. Metal—and yes, if it's still allowed to be said—real leather for the headband and ear cups. They don't make me sweat, feel very comfortable, and I can wear them for hours on end. And they sound... Like no other. I've had the Focal Bathys, QC Ultra, and the Sennheiser HDB630. They are all top-notch in their segment, but with these PX8 S2, I truly experience the music again: they put a smile on my face, and I unconsciously tap my foot along to the beat. I am incredibly happy with them; they have barely left my head these past few days.
