Studio Notes EP1| New Equipments for the studio 2021
This started happening to mine just recently. Both the headband and the left ear cup are coming apart. Really disappointed with the quality
Are you still under warranty? If yes, please send it back and ask for a new one.
I love Sennheiser open back wired but i tried the m4 and out of the box they sound muddy. How does no one ever talk about this? I found the eq to help ever so slightly but the eq system is weird on the app. Personalized sound on the app however transforms the headphones enetirely and now sound crystal clear and boomy but not as punchy and tight like the s2e. Boomy being a loose bass and punchy being tight and doing what it needs to but not lingering. Kinda almost how a planar magnetic driver hits.
Thanks to this video I purchased the PX8, they sound great but I found a great feature, you can turn the PX8 to an analog headphone (like the Focal Bathys). Use the provided 3.5mm to USB-C cable, this will turn off the internal DAC, then you can connect them to any source 24bit/sky_is_the_limit kHz and the will sound amazing
That’s cool! Normally, the wired mode do not turn off the internal DAC because PX series are always designed to encode/decode every sound signal to 24bit/48khz. Unless they made a change via software update lately.
Great background music mate! The XM5 missing here, especially the breaking hinges thing.
Thats because this video is about good sounding headphones and the XM5s arent that.
@@krysin ha-ha, fair enough:))
Them headphones ain’t loc proof
Hey, I just tried connecting my Momentum 4 to my iPhone via USB-C to USB-C (without any dongle), and the sound quality is great. Maybe there's a firmware update for that. Could you take another look at it?
Ahh, perhaps they have some firmware update. That’s good to know that the SQ is great.
my momentum 4 is die, slip in to my whiskey :( I really love them, i like loud and edm bassy music, for my next anc headphone am i going to happy with px8 or should i stick with momentum 4 ? Thank you for video.
Hi im interested of your Playlist....can you share your Spotify List? Greetings from Germany!
I can't wait!
After a month of use, I've noticed a persistent white noise in the left ear cup when the ANC/Ambient mode is activated, which is disappointing. As it's still under warranty, I hope this issue can be resolved.
Which of the headphones do you speak of?
Price droped, you can buy the PX8 for about 400 Euro now, lowest I found is 384 Euro
That is so cool. But wait to see what comes out for tech-tember starting from next month. There is a lot of product lunch going on.
Amazing review my friend, keep up the good work. Already an Airpods Max owner but out of curiosity bought the PX8 and at first was disappointed whenI heard the smaller soundstage. But I quickly realised soundstage isn’t everything, the bass on these is amazing, and I’m not a bass head. It’s clean and tight but punchy is the best word you used, you feel it like a punch to the gut but it doesn’t bleed into other frequencies. That leads to seperation, this is what makes these shine in my book, every instrument has its own space to shine and it’s almost like a 3d quality. AirPods Max have a wider soundstage yes but each instrument is not even close to the definition and clarity of these, and flat by comparison. I was worried about the limited eq, as Airpods Max haven’t none at all but I find myself using the iPhone eq to flip between genres as I hate the stock sound, too harsh and boomy. But the PX8 in my view don’t need an eq, everything seems to sound good no matter what I throw at them. Beautifully designed and top notch materials. Plus, they are now at €403 on Amazon Germany!
Amazing! Now that the PX8 is at a discount price. Best time to own them!
I was so underwhelmed with the sound quality of the PX8’s…
Oh yeah, maybe you watched a lot of reviews and the hype heightened your expectations before you got your hands on one? 🙂 But you are right, for the price, I think it’s really that exceptional. But it’s good especially if you are already endeared to the PX Sound Signature.
Does bang & olufsen H90 support Hi Res Lossless with USB c?
You mean H95? Yes, it does support USB-C listening.
Started researching at 9pm and finally at 11:45 pm have arrived to the conclusion that i'm getting momentum 4's. 11:53 pm i have ordered them and will be picking them up tomorrow!!
Amazing! I think that the M4 is a better pick too :). I hope you enjoy it!
@@CarefulOptimist had to return them, sound was absolutely stunning, however after using for two days i had connection issues with them, (constantly disconnecting and turning off) and also i had issues with it freezing my phone and rapidly pausing and playing with music. Swapped out to airpod maxes :)
I had the Momentum 4 for about 4 months and while I have no objection to all the positives mentioned, mine had very crazy cracking sounds while connected to Bluetooth and then just on the 4 month the coverings came up too. I've had to return it and would probably get the PX8.
I hope you get a replacement under warranty. PX8 is a great choice. Please think of getting the PX8 with a warranty as well, as it is known to develop cosmetic defects after a few months too.
@@CarefulOptimistthat's very disappointing to hear but thank you for bringing this up. Yes I have gotten a refund for the M4. I learnt my lesson about warranty in a hard way and now I don't buy unless it has a warranty.
Yeah - u deserve 1m subs ez. GREAT review.
Thank you!
I'm somewhat confused about the PX7S2. Was it made/released after the PX8?
It was released BEFORE the PX8. Think of the PX8 as PX7 S2 Pro :)
@@CarefulOptimist Ah, ok thanks
Ps7 s2e support c type connectivity or not
I believe it does
I am thinking about getting my first iPhone at the end of the year when my contract ends .Is there an equivalent to UAP for iPhone ?
I am not sure I understand what a UAP is
@CarefulOptimist Sorry, my fault, I meant usb audio player pro . What software is used in Iphone to play audio files .
your iphone 15 can play audio via the USB automatically, but not the earlier versions of the iPhone.
I have the Px8 and an S24 Ultra and in wired mode the headphones are significantly reduced in volume. In addition, the battery is constantly charged in wired mode. This will have a significant effect on the battery life. A great pity.
That's the downside of this set up: battery! But if you are not using your headphones intensely or occasionally on wired mode, then it is worth it!
Great review. Very engaging. Keep 'em coming...
Thank you so much! Sure!
Update. Ordered both. Liked the sound of the B&W PS7 Se2 way better. Surprised me as I’m a long time Sennheiser user.
Momentum 4 just won!
Thank you!
Hi Px8 In Bluetooth mode, Tidal sounds better through the B&W app than through the Tidal app.
Yes! i totally agree! you are spot on with this observation!
how about using Sennheiser thru USB cable as well? you don't use crappy DAC in your PC then.
Yes, it works with Sennheiser M4
thank you so much for this video ❤ this is what i’ve been looking for
I am happy to it helped!
Yeahhhhh is broken b&w fix it now!!!!🎉and apologise
That's amazing! Please keep your invoice. If it happens again within a year, ask for a new one (not a fixed one)
Did they sort out the issue with the padding detaching issue in your PX8?
They gave me a brand new headphones. As long as they keep giving a new one, I don't mind. The PX8 are great.
But I have seen in other videos that in iPhone you cannot here the best quiality when wired connected. That if you compare it with an android you will see all the loss that the iPhone has :(.
That might be true when compared with android. Android has more freedom and access to codecs of higher quality streaming. But a lot depends on the headphones as well. What I try to show in the video is that you can have access to the highest quality your headphones can deliver given the limitations of the iOS and iPad OS. Those limitations are not as much with the Mac OS though.
Hi, I have a Fiio K17 dongle DAC, and the px8. Mi question is if this combo would make a difference in terms of sound. Does de intern dac of the px8 would switch off and use the Fiio K17? I hope you can help me. You have great content! 👍
The DAC of the PX series never switches off. That’s one downside of the PX series. I think you are better off with the likes of focal bathys, etc, in this regard.
great video but please don't dance guys. it's cringe specially with hijab
I just tried it after watching your video, you are spot on sir
Amazing! Thank you!
Two months of usage and happened to me as well. I love them but this is not acceptable for the price... waiting for the response from the shop as they couldn't get to the dealer of B&W in Ireland
That really sucks especially when they are not able to get hold of the dealers let alone the companies. BW customer care and after-sales service sucks! I will mention that in the next review!
@@CarefulOptimist now its over a week and after 1 visit to the shop (50km to drive one way to show that they are damaged) 2 phone calls still no response from the B&W dealer for Ireland …
@@CarefulOptimist just to let you know, after 3 weeks plus I got a new pair of B&W px8 and if thats the case I am happy with it. If they keep exchanging to the new one’s let it be. I like the style and the sound so I have to live with it even though I might replace them again in the future
Such a great video and the audio that goes with it. What can I say it is just great.
Thank you so much!
My PX 7S2 came apart across the head band and on both ear cups. 100% adhesive failure
Very sad! Hope you were able to send it back under warranty.
Is possible to detach Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2 earpads?
Yes!
ive never heard this from anyone else but you interesting. I really want the px8 now u got me worried. since this been awhile do u know if they fixed the issue
It does not happen with all of the units. If you are lucky, it won’t happen to you. What I will say is that you buy with guarantee. That way, if it happens, you send it back for replacement.
Bw customer service sucks
Indeed!
Good Job!
Thanks!
Senhesier has good sound quality but the noise cancellation is not the best.
Hmm, I think it can feel over-processed at times.
You are an amazing reviewer. Smart, calm, resonable. Thanks a lot😊
Thank you so much for the feedback. We get better by the day 🙂
Unfortunately, there are very few views, it seems to me that there are problems in the preview
In my opinion, the video is doing quite fine :)
Does this work with an older iPhone SE? With dongle?
Yes, it will always work with a lightening-compatible dongle.
capped at 24/48 without a dongle? makes it no different than any other wired headphone
Yeah, that's the downside with the PX series. But, to be honest, above that rate, the human ears don't hear really much. What we should be focusing on is the quality of the processing.
What a clear cut video. Why does this channel have only 3k subs???? Subscribed!
Hahaha. Thank you. We are working on it. But most importantly is quality over quantity:)
I have the px7 s2 and I have the px7 and have never had that issue and I pull on them constantly because of my large noggin. So this is totally a lie, this dude must work for a rival company. Pure Bullshit.
No, I have had this issue on my PX 7S2. All the padding has come off, on the headband and both ear cups
Did you get them to give you a replacement?
So how does the Px7 S2e (improved sound from the regular Px7 s2) hold up to the M4? 🤔...
Having both its a though battle. B&W is so clean. M4 is very adaptable to every kind of music. All in all B&W are little more comfy. Overall the momentums have more warm bass. Really punchy. The B&W have tighter Bass. I get px8 soon and look forward
Yes, I think the PX8 is a nice sweet spot between both.
Great comprehensive video! I use Qobuz on my wireless Grado GW100x connected to the Audioquest Dragonfly Cobalt. I sacrifice ANC and other features but does it ever sound great...
Thank you!
some revievers say tha the headphones are loosing some loudness in wired mode? maybe they fixed it?
I notice that sometimes. But I think it’s related to the particular music file you are listening to. It does not happen to all music files.
