The Bowers & Wilkins Px8 S2 is a pair of over-ear wireless headphones and the top model in the Px lineup. It has a built-in amplifier, so no separate amplifier is needed.
Each earcup holds a 40mm carbon cone driver, angled inside the cup for a natural soundstage and improved imaging. Advanced DSP supports consistent performance. Carbon cone technology reduces distortion and improves transient response compared with a standard driver. A rigid aluminum frame and Nappa leather trim reduce resonances. The earpads use memory foam, and the build is lightweight and durable.
Eight microphones handle active noise cancellation and calls. The headphones connect over Bluetooth 5.3, USB-C or a 3.5mm analog input. Bluetooth supports aptX Lossless, aptX Adaptive, aptX HD and AAC, with aptX Lossless giving CD-quality wireless playback on devices that support it. They also work over standard Bluetooth with any phone or tablet.
