Bowers & Wilkins Px8 S2 – High-End Wireless Sound at the Highest Level
With the Px8 S2, Bowers & Wilkins introduces the latest generation of its premium over-ear headphones. The model combines cutting-edge wireless technology with audiophile sound quality and exceptionally high-quality craftsmanship. The Px8 S2 is aimed at music lovers who don't want to compromise, even on the go, and value first-class sound, high comfort, and luxurious materials.
Whether it's high-resolution music streams, movies, gaming, or mobile work – the Px8 S2 combines powerful technology with elegant design and intuitive operation. Thanks to state-of-the-art Bluetooth technology, effective noise cancellation, and finely tuned acoustics, it belongs to the highest quality wireless noise-cancelling headphones in its class.
Carbon Drivers for Precise and Natural Sound
The heart of the Px8 S2 is the specially developed 40mm Carbon Cone drivers. This technology is based on Bowers & Wilkins' high-end loudspeaker development expertise and ensures exceptionally precise music reproduction with minimal distortion.
The sound impresses with high detail resolution, impressive spatiality, and controlled dynamics. Voices sound natural and authentic, while bass frequencies are powerful and precisely reproduced. At the same time, the sound image remains transparent and balanced, even with complex musical pieces.
Through the combination of powerful DSP, high-quality signal processing, and optimized driver design, the Px8 S2 achieves a sound level that is significantly above classic wireless headphones.
State-of-the-Art Wireless Technology with aptX Lossless
The Bowers & Wilkins Px8 S2 supports Bluetooth 5.3 as well as modern audio codecs such as aptX Adaptive and aptX Lossless. This enables particularly high-quality and virtually lossless wireless music transmission – ideal for high-resolution streaming services and demanding music lovers.
Additionally, the headphones can be connected directly digitally via USB-C. This allows high-resolution audio data to be transmitted without additional conversion. Alternatively, a classic analog cable connection is also available.
The practical Multipoint function allows simultaneous connection to multiple devices. This means you can comfortably switch between your smartphone, tablet, and laptop, for example.
Effective Noise Cancelling and Excellent Voice Quality
The integrated Active Noise Cancelling effectively reduces disruptive ambient noise and enables relaxed music listening in almost any environment. A total of eight microphones handle both noise suppression and the optimization of voice quality during phone calls and video conferences.
Bowers & Wilkins pursues a deliberately audiophile approach: instead of maximum artificial shielding, music playback remains open, dynamic, and natural even with ANC activated.
The high-quality microphone technology also ensures excellent voice intelligibility – both for phone calls on the go and in the home office.
Luxurious Materials and High Wearing Comfort
The Px8 S2 not only impresses acoustically but also with its excellent craftsmanship. Ear pads and headband are made of high-quality Nappa leather, while precisely manufactured aluminum elements combine stability and elegance.
The ergonomically optimized construction ensures a comfortable fit and high long-term comfort – even during several hours of wearing. At the same time, the material quality and workmanship immediately convey the feeling of a true premium product.
The timeless design combines modern elegance with the characteristic design language of Bowers & Wilkins, making the Px8 S2 a true visual highlight as well.
Long Battery Life and Intelligent App Control
With up to 30 hours of battery life, the Px8 S2 is ideal for long journeys, working days, or extended listening sessions. Thanks to the fast-charging function, just 15 minutes of charging time is enough for up to seven hours of music playback.
Numerous functions can be conveniently controlled via the Bowers & Wilkins Music App. These include:
- Equalizer settings
- ANC configuration
- Device management
- Streaming integration
- Firmware updates
The integrated 5-band EQ also allows for individual adjustment of the sound character to personal listening preferences.
