It’s difficult enough to break through the mainstream trio that is the Sony WH-1000XM5, Bose 700, and Apple AirPods Max and get attention, let alone bring forth a pair of $699 headphones, but that’s exactly what British audio company Bowers & Wilkins has done with the Px8.
The latest headphones are in a class of their own — in case the price didn’t suggest that to you already — with a blend of Nappa leather and cast aluminum fashioned throughout the headset, and a new carbon cone 40mm drive unit that ups the ante in the sound department. Together, you get an audio package that, after a week of evaluation and rigorous nitpicking, has proven its worth.
