I bought PX8 Anthracite three weeks ago was blown away with the sound . So have just received Pi8 midnight blue blimey they are the best given I do have B&O EQ and EX and Bose ultras. Excellent review
@@scottmackey4182niche yes but yesterdays technology which are still an excellent product . Sound is very much the issue Pi8 in my opinion are above the B&O
3 years using pi7 and s2 with several functional issues and not even 1 new firmware release from B&W to try to solve these issues. Great Sound but it's not enough in this price range, especially when you have to deal with functional issues
Hi there, I am considering the Pi6’s for my everyday earbuds but reading about the touch controls leaves me in doubt. So I asked Bowers and Wilkins through the pi6 homepage if there will be a firmware update to allow for full customisation of the touch controls, including the possibility to control BOTH volume AND ANC/heartrough/off on the earbuds themselves… The answer was that “There has been an update that was pushed out on October 26 that offers the ability to customize the touch controls to your liking. This has resolved the issue that you were reading about in regards to the touch controls.” Could you please confirm these new customisation options?
Really want to buy Pi8 but what cocerns me is how they stay in your ear while exercising. From my experience, all in ear earbuds tend to drop from the ear if they dont have the fins. Plus, the fins keep the buds tighter in ear that helps to hear more deep base. Let me know pls, guys, who already tried them in a gym.
Tbh I personally I don't think it's a good idea to use this in Gyms .. I mean given its price point, I'll use a cheaper workout friendly earbuds for gym use as if there's any damage its not that bad...
@SlowRkers agree, they are quite expensive for the gym but it's the only place for me to listen my favorite music loud. BTW, recently received Samsung earbuds 3 pro. Omg, they are so good. Best for the gym. But still want a high end buds
Thank you for this brilliant review. I have the PX8 they are the best over ear headphones I have ever owned. I have ordered the Pi8 in Midnight Blue, they will be replacing my 5 year old Jabra 75t so a huge upgrade for me. I’m very excited to get my new Pi8.
Bowers & Wilkins improvements do not include a left earbud that works. Arrived yesterday and my left bud remains silent. Certain the sound would be great…..if they worked.
Wondering how these will be against the Apple AirPods Pro 3, which might (not sure yet) come in a few weeks. Soundwise, the PI8's will be unbeatable, but the Apples might have other advantages, like connectivity a lower price and maybe better ANC. I also wonder whether the PI8's will get cheaper around Black Friday. A few months back, I got the PX8 headphones for 450 euro, which is a huge difference compared to the 799 euro they were when they were released. I don't see myself paying 799 for headphones, but I could not pass on them for 450, which is what you pay for comparable devices from Apple, Bose and Sony (yes, the WH-1000XM5's are cheaper now, but soon the XM6's will be released and they will be more expensive again). So, wondering how fast the PI8's will drop in price. However, I'm not saying they are overpriced.
Haha, we are simply translating what Qualcomm has on their site and how they've explained it 🤷♂️ Not many on our team have a compatible android device so we haven't tested it much anyways. Either way, we're glad to see the technology is getting better and better!
That doesn't make too much sense. You are highly biased. You didn't try it, but made your judgement based on the specs already. You are right. You are definitely not an audiophile. You shouldn't review anything period.@AudioAdvice
After few days comparing them to AirPods Pro 2: much better sound quality, worse: NC, pass through, integration, stability, comfort. Once pair with more than 1 device they become unusable as the connection keeps dropping interrupting music all the time.
A nice incremental update it seems. I didn't really like their prior version. I don't particularly care fore how they protrude out of the ear. Looking for something more streamlined and trim. I'll wait for a new B&O earbud.
This is an infomercial for B&W. Some good points are made but no critical component whatsoever. Bottom line of the narrator, "These are the best with no shortcomings." I like B&W stuff but come on...
$400 🤣 😂 🤣 🙄 TWS earbuds, it's for the convenience they bring on the go and not for the so-called "extraordinary" quality of sound 🔊 they could have that they are interesting (wired headphones at $50-$100 do much better in this area 🤷🏽♂️), they just need to have a good enough sound 🔊 (which 99% of tws have today), good ANC (these B&W Pi8s are not really the best in the field), and good microphone in phone calls in noisy environments (a lot of earbuds at $50-$100 do better than these Pi8s), this thing is a product for snubs, it's a scam 🤧 🚶🏽♂️ 🚶🏽♂️ 🚶🏽♂️
@@AudioAdvice Do they have an audio 🔉 quality 2 times better than that of the Airpods Pro 2 or Sony XM5 (which themselves are not the best on the market in terms of sound 🔊), no, do they have the best ANC and transparency mode on the market, no and even far from it, do they have the best microphones in phone calls, again no. This thing, without the B&W logo, wouldn't even sell for more than $100. 🙏🏽
@@rolins3279wow he ́s talking specifically about the sound quality...so when you compare them to airpods pro that only are fine for iOS users anyway i am not impressed by airpods
We lived with prerelease models for a few weeks. We have no idea how you could have experienced these as none have shipped yet. And we did not sell out. We stand by what we said.
Not released yet so impossible to know. Ordered mine yesterday. Pi8. If anything like the Px8, which I love, then I’ll toss the AirPods Pro to the trash!

Wow, thanks for sharing, a few people have asked how they compare to the B&O and Bose. We appreciate your comments.
PX8 blow away the B&O models in my opinion. B&O is a niche product that is more about aesthetics than truly focused on the best sound.
@@scottmackey4182niche yes but yesterdays technology which are still an excellent product . Sound is very much the issue Pi8 in my opinion are above the B&O
B&W Commercial 🤔🥴
Of course...he is reading a script from B&W
I don't get it
@@i95smuggler a troll trolls 🥴
I bought a 007 PX8 from your company a few weeks ago & I'm loving every minute with it. I will be getting the Pi8.
Great to hear! Enjoy!!

💯 well said
Maybe the problems weren't firmware-related?
Same here

We will need to check on that, it would be great if it is true and suspect it is as B&W is very upfront about things

We did test these and the way they redesigned the case really improved the fit.
There is a preinstalled static fin.

@andreynelepov1575 yea even myself personally I use my Sony MX5 for everyday use, while my B&W Pi7s2 for at home use
Feels like a commercial no?
Duh, it’s what AA is all about. Giving you more detailed information than a manufacturer’s basic commercial.

We are sorry you got a bad pair. If you purchased yours from Audio Advice please reach out to our team for help.
I own a pair of Mark Levinson №5909, how do these compare?
We do not think an in ear will give you the same experience as your Levinsons.

Kinda hard to predict the future. Thanks for watching and sharing!
I'm interested in the Pi8 to replace my OPPO Enco X2, I had a pair of the Px8 and sold them once i got my Mark Levinson headphones.
Give them a try!
Do these sound better than Tozo golden x1?.
Sorry, we are not familiar with those. Thanks for watching
The attempt to describe lossy as lossless is hilarious.

How do these compare to Samsung galaxy pro 3 earbuds?
We have not tried those, but just looking at the driver size and mic layout, we assume these are a lot better

@@tiborbozso1033 Damn! Calm down dude. Respect
Do they support something like spotify tab ?
Sorry, they do not support Spotify Tap. Thanks for watching.
How do they compare to Sennheiser momentum 4?
Sorry, we have not heard those
Can you eq in their app on pi6 like you can with pi8?
No. Only the Pi8.
This should be priced at around $300
Sold out
We stand by our statements, they do sound excellent. We hope you get to test a pair soon to see.

Sorry to hear you've had troubles. We did not encounter that in our testing. You may want to try exchanging with your dealer for a new pair.
Please compare noble audio fokus mystique
Thanks for the suggestion
Grwet video next on the list with px8.what you thik about Philips Fidelio T2 no one tested them,ther is not single video about them 👌👍🇦🇹
Thank you. We have not heard that model.
The new Pi8 look much worse than the previous version. The metal heads were very good looking on the older ones.
To each his own, thanks for sharing and watching
Did you even test them? I had pi7 and now pi7 S2. Sound great but they do so many stupid things.
Yes, we had them for a few weeks before they officially launched. What were yours doing? These had no issues for us.
A nice incremental update it seems. I didn't really like their prior version. I don't particularly care fore how they protrude out of the ear. Looking for something more streamlined and trim. I'll wait for a new B&O earbud.
Thanks for sharing.
Will these headphones be available for the Russian market and will there be an application with Russian language support amid all the controversy?
Sorry, we do not know. If you have a local B&W dealer in your area, they might know. Thanks for watching
Sennheiser
better than gemini 2?
We really liked these.
