Bowers & Wilkins Px8 is the original flagship wireless over-ear headphone in the range, using aluminium arms, leather contact surfaces and Carbon Cone drivers. It is intended for someone who wants a travel headphone that still feels like a long-term hi-fi purchase.
The angled 40 mm drivers are based on the carbon-cone approach used in Bowers & Wilkins loudspeakers, with 24-bit processing and aptX Adaptive Bluetooth behind them. Six microphones cover adaptive noise cancellation and calls.
Thirty hours of battery life make daily charging unnecessary, while USB-C audio and the supplied analogue cable provide useful wired fallbacks. The protective case is substantial enough for luggage rather than only protecting against desk dust.
