OMG, subbed just on the basis of your intro alone. So nice to hear someone not talking about Bose/Sony/JBL. Personally, I love the Perl Pros I recently got and also the PI8s I've had a bit longer. Both are great and, subjectively, better than my Noble Fokus Prestige which I also like, just not as much. Now back to actually finishing the video, lol!
Hello there I have plenty of earbuds and headphones including the 1000xm4s, Px8s and oneplus 3's and I'm very interested in the Pi8's but I keep seeing reviews that say they don't go very deep into the sub bass territory which is important to me as I love many genres from Floyd to electronic Jazz, metal and loads of Drum n Bass and my Px8s are fantastic but they do disappoint a bit in the sub bass dept... Any insight into this would be great as its a decent investment and I'd hate to have to grab other buds when I'm seeking the Basslines... 😉
I have both and although I really like the AZ80's for sound quality and feature set, the Pi8's are in another league for detail, clarity and soundstage - simply the best out there now.
Pi8's hands down! The AZ80'S have a much better feature set, better ANC and transparency but they do not compete with the Pi8's for pure sound quality, end of story!
Me too! However, I've used the perl pros with the creative BT5X i think they're called? but they don't use your sound profile from the Denon app =\! Still, the sound quality is a nice bump up. Hopefully the Fiio BT11 has better compatibility.
@xXCorruptedzXx I was looking @ the BT11 thread on Head Fi & it appears some people overseas have already been able to purchase 1 & they're saying the sound quality is pretty solid.

Ordered the Pi8...my best pair are the Nothing Ear. So will be comparing with those. Agree with the sound quality with bluetooth buds are now the option for sound. On par with my Grado over ears/ perhaps better!
Thanks for the great review! In own the denon pearl pro and I cannot agree more there sound is on a whole different level compared to others, I also have the AirPods Pro 2 wich i use for work simply because there noise canceling and ambient sound is really good and the sound is pretty good to and most importantly there comfortable. But they can’t come close to the denons.. I’m eagre to try the pi8’s sometime and also I have heard the new JBL tour pro 3 have come to a new level where they can rival these buds so I also would like to try those sometimes.
Researched extensively online on what’s currently out there & I’ve got these two beauties & the Gemini 2’s on my final list ie the more expensive end 😮. I have Shokz bone conductor buds for outdoors garden landscaping/gym but want better for focussed listening. Thanks for the contribution & I get the point U favour the Pi8’s. But am intrigued with Denon’s ability to assess how I hear music. Therefore, the Denon will respond differently to each of us as listeners. I cud do with buying both to decide BUT hey! that’s not going to happen. I listen to all genres rock n metal to Mozart/opera & most in between. Difficult one 🤔
DENON pros are amazing, but you have to try the sound profiling a few times to find a great sound, because strangely, it comes up with a different one every time. Seriously, if you're still looking, I would buy them, and they have come down in price in the UK. I absolutely adore the Perl pro.
I have had the pricier earbuds having the BW pi7 before but battery life sucked and kept falling out. I love all kinds of music as well and have always wanted the higher end so I could hear quality. Well I have been searching and have watched many reviews on denon and found they bought Nura which I remember were really good. Just being compared to the Pi8s is a compliment in itself. I looked them up on Amazon and they are on Black Friday for 150! It was as if the universe was saying these are the ones for you 😅 Quality sound at a fraction of the cost was a no brainer 😉
As far as sound goes, the PI8 are in a league of their own. The sound filled a hole in my heart that I didn't know I had. Music on all my other buds and music devices doesn't sound right now.
That being said, I returned mine. My problem with the PI8 is The app is finicky oftentimes not connecting and for some reason the buds would never just go in and secure themselves. I would always and constantly have to resecure the buds. I even tried buying the new tips that helped a little bit but it was never a good comfortable fit. And then the sound was inconsistent. When the sound was good it was out of this world but then other times the sound just sounds off. So overall they were too inconsistent for me. And honestly it broke my heart to take those back to the store.
@@Panda-masterrI do agree, they are that good. I had the Gemini II, the Pi8 are way more accurate across all frequencies and a lot more comfortable. Case is also more pocketable. Just wish the case had more battery juice tho..
@@Panda-masterr yeah no, I heard them I heard the gemini ii and I heard the Perl pro, of all of them the Perl pro had the best staging and technicalities.
Funny how these two earbuds are the exact ones that I kept after trying many different buds. They’re amazing in their own way. When I want that deep bass I put on the Perl pro. I like when I put them on and greeted welcome back. Pi8 clarity and soundstage is incredible, bass not as deep as the Perl pro but so fun to listen with.
Average as are all the features including ANC and call quality. The Pi8's are all about the sound, which is unmatched by anything else. Nothing even comes close.
Yo Everyone in the Audio Community. I discovered a fatal flaw in the Pi8's. Mine were brand new yesterday from John Lewis cost £349.99 and I maxed out the EQ and Volume with Noise Cancelling ON and played this track ruclips.net/video/FJxTm372gmQ/видео.htmlsi=r6q1Zrn0X3cKr1m9 by Mark Spence 2 The Floor. On boths Earbuds ran loud, nasty crackling distortion where the drivers could not handle it or clashed with the Noise Cancelling. I urge you to test this for yourself. You may want to return them fast.

Pi8 are the best you can buy right now. I have one pair and not regret at all. ❤
I've tried most of them, including the PerL pros, and i listen for the subbass. I felt like an entrire low octave is missing.
Great review got the pi8 on the way

I have a Denon PERL Pro. My ANC is no oonger working and trying to decide if to get another pair or try the Pi8.
I've been looking at the B&W Pi8 but haven't pulled the trigger yet.
Friend, very interesting video! I wonder who is more natural Pix8 vs AZ80?
I have both and although I really like the AZ80's for sound quality and feature set, the Pi8's are in another league for detail, clarity and soundstage - simply the best out there now.
@@s4kicks3 And who of this pair has more realistic sound or is more natural?

The Fiio BT11 goes on sale next Tuesday. I'll be purchasing 1 so I can take advantage of aptX lossless with my Pi8s.

@@510maddog awesome :D I'll see if i can get my hands on one. Thanks for the heads up!

I'm seriously thinking about getting the Bowers and Wilkins pi8 but I was wondering how good the Bowers customer service is?
Great video next on my list with Px8 i have Px7s2 they sound great and Fidelio T2 but i will try Pi8 and Px8 at next wish you all the best 👍👌🇷🇸🇦🇹
How do these compare to the Technics AZ80?

Have a good bank balance.

Get some cabled headphones and learn how audio should sound 😂
