Bowers & Wilkins Px8 Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones
Overview
The Bowers & Wilkins Px8 are wireless noise cancelling over-ear headphones that B&W describes as the ultimate combination of exceptional performance, premium materials, intelligent technology, and smart features. They pair a 24-bit DSP with precisely angled 40mm Carbon Cone drivers, which B&W says sharpen stereo imaging with reduced distortion and improved clarity.
Hybrid noise cancellation uses six microphones, four for ANC and two for calls, and there's an ambient pass-through mode for when you need to hear what's around you. Bluetooth 5.2 with aptX Adaptive handles wireless listening, and B&W says the combination delivers 24-bit high-resolution sound and crystal-clear calls. The USB-C port works for both charging and audio, and a wear-detection sensor is built in.
Battery life is up to 30 hours, and a 15-minute charge adds seven hours of playback. B&W builds the Px8 with light, stiff aluminium arms, Nappa leather with memory foam earpads for all-day comfort, and diamond-cut bright metal detailing.
Simcoe Audio Video Insight
The original Px8 and the newer Px8 S2 sit side by side in B&W's lineup. On paper, the S2 adds aptX Lossless and a slimmer silhouette, while the Px8 uses aptX Adaptive. If your phone or player doesn't support aptX Lossless, that difference matters less, and the Px8 still gives you carbon drivers, six-microphone hybrid noise cancellation, and 30 hours of battery. For wired listening, use the included USB-C to USB-C cable, or the USB-C to 3.5mm cable for analogue sources.

Buyer's Guide
Who It's For
- The Frequent Traveller: Wants hybrid noise cancellation and 30 hours of battery.
- The Comfort-First Listener: Wants Nappa leather and memory foam earpads for long sessions.
- The aptX Adaptive User: Has a phone or player with aptX Adaptive and doesn't need Lossless.
How It Compares
B&W's chart describes the Px8 as a flagship noise-cancelling wireless headphone, alongside the newer Px8 S2. Both use carbon drivers and offer 30 hours of playback; the Px8 S2 moves to aptX Lossless and a slimmer silhouette, while the Px8 uses aptX Adaptive. The Px7 S2e uses bio cellulose drivers and a fabric build with aptX Adaptive.
