Bowers & Wilkins Px8 Flagship Noise Cancelling Wireless Over-Ear Headphones with Bluetooth 5.0 & Quick Charge, 30 Hours of High-Resolution Playback and Built-In Microphone - Dark Forest

Excellent pair of headphones. I am replacing my Bose with these - the sound quality is much better, and the noise cancellation is not bad. If I want a very good noise calculation, I use my Bose earbuds. The Bowers and Wilkins sound great, look great and are very comfortable.

Excellent headphones so much better than Sony and Bose to which both have had there flag ship. Gorgeous design excellent materials and as for sound top notch. The problem with noise cancelling that is top line it ruins the sound so having less premium noise cancelling keeps quality top notch. The seal on headphones helps keep sound out without noise cancelling on anyway. Very comfortable also which Sony's aren't.

Edit 8 months in: I still love these so much. I prefer listening over USB-C at home, in quiet environments you can hear the difference vs Bluetooth (even aptX HD/Adaptive). ANC is solid and does a pretty good job, not market leading but it's still very good. Sound is the main thing though, still exquisite.Quite some years ago I had a pair of B&W PX and they were the most uncomfortable headphones I've ever worn, and I've avoided B&W since. That was a mistake; these are incredible.I've had a lot of wireless noise cancelling headphones (every B&O flagship model except the H100, a couple of Bose models, a couple of Sony ones, and a set of Master & Dynamics) and these are the best sounding of this style of headphone I've ever owned.I listen to a lot of metal and bluetooth noise cancelling headphones always struggle with delivering both loud/complex instrumentals and vocals. Except these. Every track I throw at them has the separation I've been dreaming of, and I can't believe I waited this long from launch to try them (which would have saved me buying a far more expensive pair of B&O H95 a year ago that I've have been nothing but disappointment on every front!).To sumarise, these: sound unbelievably good, feel like a cloud on my head (and still have a good seal with with glasses), have solid ANC (I prefer my AirPods Pro 2's ANC, but the Px8 are like 95% there).

Sound exceptional quality absolutely beautiful but I found them too heavy for me.

This is a beautiful, solidly built headphone. The sound quality is good but not fantastic as many say. This because you will not notice difference between the sound of this headphones and the sound of other headphones similarly price or even cheaper unless you have trained ears, are young and have a state-of-the art, very accurate sound system .It's a wireless headphone so what matters more is the connection as I see it. The connection is not very good. The app is mediocre. It's limited and many times the BW was connected to my iPhone, I was listening music, but couldn't connect the app as it was saying i wasn't connected !The NC is good but not excellent. Sonos, Apple, Bose are clearly better. And the headphone kept moving on my head. I sent it back. There is a lot of fetiche in the world of headphones. Names being more of a selling factor than the quality of the headphone itself.

I had to return mine. These were great as a pair of headphones for certain music genres like rock or R&B. However the noise-cancelling was very weak and erratic. Compared to my Sony or Bose nose-cancelling headphones the B&W did not work at all as nose-cancelling phones on an airplane. Even in London public transportation sometimes I could hardly tell whether the NC was on. Even when it kind of worked, the two ears were not balanced. Often it felt like NC was working only on one side not both. Also not sure it was a deliberate feature or a fault with my unit, the NC kept switching itself off (whilst charged) if no media was being played. It kind of defeated all the main purpose a pair of noise-cancelling phones were for.

Outstanding quality headphones

Excellent headphones, sound quality is great, I love their sound quality.The build of materials, comfort and ease of use are great. These are truly premium headphones.I am a private consumer and my review is based on my private daily use - I just here music...Very comfortable to wear, easily connect to my iphone 15.The ANC is good - sufficient for me (they do not compete with bose) but if the sound quality and build of materials are more important to you than the ANC (which again - is fine and does its job) - I would defiantly recommend the PX8
