B&W PX8 S2 headphones review

[R2D2]

OK 😊 The last time I owed one was yonks, when batteries were the norm!

Rechargeable, it's much kinder to the environment; are these still as effective and long lasting in 5 years time?
I'm sort of using mobile battery longevity rule. When I first got my OnePlus phone, a charge would last a day and half on full usage and now, I have to charge everyday.
Granted you don't use your wireless headphone continuously like your phone, so I'm probably gathering too much hay.

Not a great fan at the moment but who knows, if the sound quality improves with the advancements in technology, I may warm to it. 🙂

My B&W PX2 S2 headphones lasted months and so do my B&W PX8 headphones with one single charge. You don’t have to change the batteries at all as far as I am aware.

That's really cool, things seem to have progressed above and beyond from 2010 when I first owned a pair.

WHF’s review out now, they mention they can be wired but don’t mention how they sound wired - strange! Who cares about how they sound wireless…

Ordered my headphone adaptor of Amazon, turning up tomorrow. 🙂

I am still not sure why you need that adapter.

To connect to my iPhone and iPad.

Just read the WHF review again and it states both cables can be used for wired listening so I don’t need an adapter after all!

Can Bowers & Wilkins’ flagship wireless headphones live up to their luxury price tag?

Man they sound good and so comfortable.

They also now sound really good at lower volumes too. 🙂
