Bowers and Wilkins Px7 S2 vs Px7 S2e noise-canceling headphones!
Would it work well with the Hifiman Shangri La Sr.?
I have had Px7 S2 for over a year. Clean, mature, reference kind of sound. Love them. ANC is decent too. Only I can complain about is poor app and the fact that aptX Adaptive doesnt go all way up to 24 / 96, but is rather 24/48. These are my primary "nice music listening" bluetooth phones. I got M4 the other day actually for discount. The idea was to replace my trusty 5 yr old Sony WH1000XM3 as kind of all-around, casual music / movie watching / gaming / home-office headphones. They felt palsticky and buggy. The sound is quite good but Px7 is still much more "serious" kind of phones for me. ANC is non existing - seriously I had to check that i didn't turn on transparency mode by mistake - it was that bad. I decided to return them and get refund. Will wait for Sonos Ace to go down in price.
How do these compare to the Audeze LCD-2 closed?
I cannot like anything other than yamaha and polk combination! I m upgrading both with RN800 plus Polk R200 😊
Where would you put the Ether 2 in the DCA ranking? I'm considering selling mine to get either a E3 or the Noire X, but I'd like to have a similar sound in a closed back.
Where can I get those headphone stands?
1000 USD? Fiio FT1 here we go!!
How these compares to sony mdr z1r? And which one do you prefer?
I enjoyed the Sony MDR Z1r, but at $999, the Noire X is very hard to beat for all the reasons I described in the video. I didn't directly compare the two headphones, but based on audio memory, the Noire X is a more balanced set of headphones, whereas the Sonys are more V-shaped, so it will come down to personal preferences on sound.
@ thanks Have you also reviewed or heard beyerdynamic t5 3rd gen? Those are also 1k$
I have both right now in front of me. Stock tuning comparison the MDR-Z1R is going to sound less accurate, sometimes boxy sound with vocals, especially a lot of male vocals. Maybe you won't notice it if it's your only reference point. You get a healthy amount of bass / subbass that to this day is still the best quantity / quality you will get out of a headphone. This becomes more apparent in my later details. The Noire X on the other hand out of the box you get almost perfect tuning that will work for every one. Nothing stands out, and it sounds accurate. It sounds extremely precise and clear. I actually compared it to an EQ'd HD800 and I found I preferred the Noire X just for the better bass extension. So out of box performance the Noire X will probably outperform the Sony's. The great thing is you can get some end game dac / amps with fully featured PEQ, or use software and get the MDR-Z1R's to sound amazingly balanced yet still retain its incredible bass performance. Also used prices on the MDR-Z1R can be had for cheaper than a Noire X so factor that in. There are some autoeq / oratory profiles where you can mess with and get it sounding similar in terms of tonal balance to the Noire X, but you get a bass slam that is unlike any headphone I have experienced (I've been through every 1-6k headphone). With EQ they present music still in a unique way but still feel accurate enough. I should also talk about build quality. Both are fantastic in different ways. The Sony MDR-Z1R I think are best in class. They are up there with Meze if not better for there more toned down appearance. When you hold it, you know it is quality throughout. Comfort I think is best of any headphone ever. They just hug you like a glove. The Noire X are honestly an upgrade in build mostly compared to the E3. The only downside was the smaller cup size which I am picky about but it's not that bad, in reality it forces you to position it in the only correct way to get the best sound. You could position your ears differently on the E3/Expanse/Stealth to tune it if you had a preference, but I found I personally did not like that "feature". Like the Z1R, these go on your head one way, and the audio will consistently be delivered to you every time. If I had to keep one I would probably keep the MDR-Z1R. They may not have the exact precision of the Noire X but they are still incredibly detailed and produce bass unlike any other headphone. If I didn't have an Element IV with the built in PEQ and was using some other dac / amp with no PEQ i'd pick the Noire X. Right now I like to use the Noire X with more vocal / acoustic music and the MDR-Z1R with electronic / hip hop.
🎉🖤 great break down of your experiences thank you for sharing!
Awesome review Marcelo! How do you compare them against the ZMF Bokeh?
Thank you! As you know, ZMF is direct sales, so unfortunately, we don't carry their products, so I haven't had the opportunity to compare. I would love to make that comparison, though!!!!
@TheSourceAVDesignGroup I appreciate your honest answer 😁 it would indeed be a very interesting comparison
@@giorgosapo4508I get the noire x hopefully in a little bit more than a week and can write up a short comparison, If you are interested.
To be honest every planar driver headphones pads should be mounted by magnets itself, not like it really matters to me since every one of my headphones are in perfect condition but still it should be like that. Personally I never had DCA headphones, Noire X caught my attention with their looks, reasonable price and good reviews it gets
Great review Marcelo. As an owner of the DCA E3 you’ve made me super curious about the Noire X.
It's definitely a great headphone!
The headphone stand looks really nice 🤗. May I ask what kind it is?

Edit: do think the m15i is worth it over the m12i With the hd6xx?
I do, especially if you plan to use it with other headphones.
CRBN on the Carbon CC amplifier is goat level listening. I have only had a more enjoyable listening experience with the HE1. I may sell my LCD 4 and Stax 009 to fund towards the Corina.
Corina is one of my all-time favorite headphones!
very happy with my Rega Elex 4
over rated and over priced
Sony can just rename the flagship from M2 to M3 to M4 but no, they just change the most random letter in the middle of the random letters
I use a hs35 stereo headset that's worth like 80 bucks, I'd safely assume any of those 2 headsets would fulfil the audiophile crave? I kinda want a headset that I'll never have to replace until broken
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Your voice is so pleasurable to listen to!
Reel to Reel is definitely superior to vinyl in SO many ways. The only issue is it's an expensive hobby. I stopped using my Revox A77 because I couldn't afford to buy tape any more. I had a few good reels that had high-res albums recorded to them (2 Track at 15 IPS), sounded divine. Makes me genuinely happy that new 'old technology' products are getting made regardless of the price.
I can't find the Balance L/R option on It 😢
I enjoy the TRX Its a solid unit
now days there is a 400-500 USD difference where the px8 costs around 370 - 400 USD. So px8 would be the better choice for your wallet and great audio.
Pitty the bathys looks like youre about to start a session of BDSM...
Listening on my S2e's. I love them! I was ready to go into debt for the PX-8's but was pleasantly surprised I could find little difference in sound quality and comfort so paid only about 1/2 the price for S2e's (on sale for less than $300 USD). But, oh, the feel and look on the PX-8's! I do wish the ANC was better on the B&W's but it is not far off from the Bose QC Ultras but is noticeable. For me the Sennheiser's and the Sony feel cheaply made in comparison to the S2e's. The 2 ounces in weight is worth it to me.
What would be other cans with such wonderful robust low end but without those treble peaks? Thanks!
Holy cow dog, great review, but 55 seconds for that intro was not necessary
Haha yeah we have made all our intros shorter with our newer videos 😅
@@TheSourceAVDesignGroup haha, ya I think I've noticed that. Great reviews as always
Wow, great review!!
Thank you!
It looks modern.
Are these good for gaming and streaming?
Great interview, but a surprise guest given that you guys refuse to carry Hifiman. Given all the nice things you said about the products and company would you now recommend hifiman?
We used to carry HiFiman products. We don't currently and, at times, rotate the brands we carry based on several factors. Nevertheless, the sound of the new flagship headphones they produced in my brief listening time was impressive. Build quality and price for performance will be up to the consumer to decide if they are worth it, not us.
Which planars have more punch and slam in the drums? I heard the Ananda Nano have a lot. Insteresting the 500 are faster and the X are more relaxed.
Hi, i listen to a lot of metal and extreme music , which one is best and what is the best amp to get with that ?
I have the px7 now, but after a year of daily heavy use. I have adhd and autism I use my headsets on a work day around 5 a 9 hours. The noise canceling is suffering. It's getting bad. So I'm going for the m4 now. Hope to pick it up today.
How has the M4s worked out? Looking a lot on the web on user reviews of the sennheisers before i make a purchase. Found them in the electronics store yesterday and the ear pads was very soft, and i was shocked how light they felt in the box. They might be the this years investment.
@nordmannenfrank6066 I love these! In my opinion a lot better then the px7 s2. They're comfortable, the sound is better and the noise canceling is better, especially on a bike. With the px7 on the bike there was a lot of wind rushing, but not with the m4's
Over priced I'm sure there's better amps for less money 💰I have not shown a interest in audio for a long time, help me out guys what's better for less cash than this pretty looking unit with blue lights. Thankyou
M15i user here. I really enjoy it. My only wish was that it supported USB audio class 1.0 that the PS4/5 and Nintendo Switch use. Sound quality wise, it's hard to beat the M15i, even with harder to drive headphones. I agree the sweet spot is with the more efficient headphones though.
🙌🙏 thank you
whats up did u try that amp dac while playing call of duty if so how did it sound and is a good for movies as well? headphones i have are the hd800s arya organics audeze lcd x audeze lcd gx and the dan clark e3 ''''
lovely is this better SQ that the woo offerings?
Does this pair well with the abyss mr? Or sony z1r?
I have tested Audeze and compare it with many headphones and guys, this is amazing, most detailed, and fantastically sounding headphones. Its only downsize is heaviness and high price.
I am comparing these two head phones. I need a set to go with my Sony WM1aM2 WM1ZM2 to listen to Hemi-Sync tracks. I'm trying to figure out if the price difference is a factor for upgraded tech and if that is applicable to me.
just grab one Sony NW-WM1AM2, sounds really really good...but it's too heavy to carry around...😅
Indeed, it's really bordering what can be considered (comfortably) portable.
I picked up a 1a a couple months ago. I had to wait for Sony to get the 1z back in stock as that is the only one to get.
No brainer ,,, the b&w s2 just went on sale at Costco, I just bought 2, no brainer, they are phenomenal.
they both sux. hd600 is the best from hd series.
Have both and build quality is the major difference between the 2
Lol, these are literally the same. It's only software changes between them.
After a year of using it. Leather just crumbled. It was just glued on. The E version fixed it. But your right everything else is the same
The real question how the Questyle CMA18 Portable / CMA18P compares to the CMA 18
this video is so Biased ...dude u spoke 6 min about Sony and u left nothing for the other two ...Sony only win in the price comparison for what they have to offer but Bowers destroy on sound quality ....i recommend to do a clean ear clean wax
Did you watch the video? Lol 😆 we prefer the sound of the Bowers & Wilkins.
That intro music is banging
