Bowers & Wilkins Px8 S2 Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones
Overview
The Bowers & Wilkins Px8 S2 is the current flagship in the Px lineup, reworking the original Px8 with a sleeker silhouette and B&W's best sound quality yet from an over-ear wireless headphone. It pairs a 24-bit DSP with dedicated amplifier/DAC hardware to custom-designed 40mm Carbon Cone drivers, and connects over Bluetooth 5.3 with aptX Lossless support for full-resolution wireless streaming.
Active Noise Cancellation is handled by an 8-microphone array (four per ear cup), which also feeds the ADI Pure Voice call-quality processing for clearer calls in noisy environments. The Bowers & Wilkins Music app adds a 5-band customizable EQ and TrueSound listening modes, so you can tune the sound to your room or your taste rather than being locked into one profile.
Build quality carries over B&W's flagship materials: Nappa leather ear cushions and headband over a die-cast aluminum frame. Rated for 30 hours of playback, with a 15-minute quick charge good for 7 hours, the Px8 S2 is available in Onyx Black, Warm Stone, Midnight Blue, and Pearl Blue.
Simcoe Audio Video Insight
For clients across Central Ontario who want the best wireless headphone Bowers & Wilkins currently makes, the Px8 S2 is the model to reach for over the original Px8: same driver platform, but with Bluetooth 5.3 and aptX Lossless support built in from the start, plus the updated fit B&W developed for this generation. It's equally at home paired with a phone for commuting or plugged in via USB-C to a laptop for wired, loss-free listening.
More Info
Why the Px8 S2 Stands Out
40mm Carbon Cone Drivers
Custom-designed full-range drivers paired with a 24-bit DSP and dedicated amplifier/DAC for detailed, controlled sound.
Bluetooth 5.3 with aptX Lossless
Supports aptX Lossless, aptX Adaptive, aptX HD, aptX Classic, AAC, and SBC, plus multipoint connectivity for two paired devices at once.
8-Microphone Array with ADI Pure Voice
Four microphones per ear cup handle Active Noise Cancellation and feed ADI Pure Voice call processing for clearer calls.
5-Band Custom EQ & TrueSound Modes
The Bowers & Wilkins Music app lets you tailor the sound signature and switch between TrueSound listening modes.
Nappa Leather & Die-Cast Aluminum Build
A refined, slimmer silhouette built from the same premium materials as the rest of the Px line.
30-Hour Battery with Fast Charging
A 15-minute quick charge delivers up to 7 hours of playback when you're in a hurry.
Buyer's Guide
Who It's For
- Wireless audiophiles: Listeners who want aptX Lossless streaming and a 24-bit DSP without giving up Bluetooth convenience.
- Frequent travellers and commuters: Strong ANC, an 8-microphone array for calls, and 30-hour battery life for long days away from a charger.
- Remote professionals: Multipoint Bluetooth and ADI Pure Voice call processing for clear, hands-free meetings.
How It Compares
The Px8 S2 replaces the original Px8 as Bowers & Wilkins' flagship over-ear headphone, adding Bluetooth 5.3 with aptX Lossless support and a slimmer, more refined fit while keeping the same 40mm Carbon Cone driver platform. If you find one of the remaining original Px8 units in stock, it's still a strong choice with aptX Adaptive support, just without the S2's Lossless codec and updated silhouette.
