Bowers & Wilkins Px8 S2 Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones
Overview
The Bowers & Wilkins Px8 S2 are wireless noise cancelling over-ear headphones that B&W calls the best headphones it has ever made. They redefine B&W's flagship design with every core element reimagined, pairing a 24-bit DSP and dedicated amplifier/DAC with custom-designed 40mm Carbon Cone drivers for what B&W says is its best sound quality ever.
Eight microphones, four per ear cup, handle noise cancellation and calls, and B&W says they deliver excellent call quality and outstanding noise cancellation that shuts out intrusions without harming music's dynamics. Bluetooth 5.3 with aptX Lossless covers high-resolution wireless listening, multipoint keeps two devices connected, and the USB-C port doubles as a true 24-bit wired audio connection.
Battery life is up to 30 hours, and a 15-minute charge adds seven hours of playback. The Px8 S2 is crafted from soft Nappa leather and die-cast aluminium, with a slimmer silhouette B&W says was ergonomically tested to be its most comfortable over-ear design yet.
Simcoe Audio Video Insight
If you're choosing between the Px8 S2 and the original Px8, the clearest differences on paper are aptX Lossless on the S2 versus aptX Adaptive on the Px8, along with the S2's reworked drivers and slimmer design. For wired listening on a laptop or phone, use the included USB-C to USB-C cable for the 24-bit digital connection, or the USB-C to 3.5mm cable for older analogue sources. The Bowers & Wilkins Music app is where you set the 5-band EQ and choose your noise cancellation mode.

Buyer's Guide
Who It's For
- The Wireless Audiophile: Wants aptX Lossless and a 24-bit wired option over USB-C.
- The Frequent Traveller: Wants noise cancellation, all-day battery, and a carry case.
- The Remote Worker: Wants multipoint and ADI Pure Voice call processing for meetings.
How It Compares
The Px8 S2 is B&W's current flagship over-ear headphone. Compared with the original Px8, B&W's chart lists aptX Lossless instead of aptX Adaptive, and B&W says the S2 delivers its best sound quality ever from a sleeker silhouette; both use carbon drivers and offer 30 hours of playback. The Px7 S3 also supports aptX Lossless, with bio cellulose drivers and a fabric build instead of leather and aluminium.
