Bowers & Wilkins Px8 Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones
Overview
The Bowers & Wilkins Px8 is B&W's original flagship wireless over-ear headphone, combining a 24-bit DSP with precisely angled 40mm Carbon Cone drivers inside an aluminum and Nappa leather frame. It uses Bluetooth 5.2 with aptX Adaptive for wireless streaming, plus a USB-C wired connection for direct digital audio.
Noise cancellation and calls are handled by a 6-microphone array, with 4 mics dedicated to Active Noise Cancellation and 2 to telephony, and the aluminum arms carry diamond-cut bright metal detailing that carries through to the ear cup hinges. Nappa leather cushions with memory foam padding are built for extended comfort over long listening or travel sessions.
Rated for 30 hours of continuous playback, with a 15-minute quick charge good for 7 hours, the Px8 is available in Black Leather, Tan & Grey Leather, Galvanic Grey & Papaya Orange, and Dark Forest finishes.
Simcoe Audio Video Insight
For clients across Central Ontario who want premium wireless sound without giving up all-day comfort, the Px8 remains a strong option even with the newer Px8 S2 now available. Its Bluetooth 5.2 and aptX Adaptive connection covers the vast majority of phones and laptops, and the materials and build quality are unchanged from B&W's current flagship. Use the Bowers & Wilkins Music app to manage EQ settings, multipoint pairing, and the assignable Quick Action button.

Why the Px8 Stands Out
40mm Carbon Cone Drivers
Precisely angled drive units paired with a 24-bit DSP for reduced distortion and a wide stereo image.
Bluetooth 5.2 with aptX Adaptive
Supports aptX Adaptive, aptX HD, aptX, AAC, and SBC codecs, plus a wired USB-C connection for direct digital audio.
6-Microphone Hybrid ANC
Four microphones handle noise cancellation and two are dedicated to telephony for clearer calls.
Nappa Leather & Aluminum Build
Aluminum arms with diamond-cut metal detailing and Nappa leather ear cushions for long-term comfort.
Wear-Detection Sensor
Automatically pauses playback when you lift an ear cup, helping preserve battery life.
Buyer's Guide
Who It's For
- Frequent travellers: Six-microphone hybrid ANC and 30-hour battery life for long trips.
- Wireless listeners: Solid Bluetooth codec support (aptX Adaptive, aptX HD) for a wide range of phones and laptops.
- Comfort-focused buyers: Nappa leather and memory foam ear cushions built for extended wear.
How It Compares
The Px8 shares its driver platform and build materials with the newer Px8 S2, but uses Bluetooth 5.2 with aptX Adaptive rather than the S2's Bluetooth 5.3 with aptX Lossless support, and keeps the original's rounder silhouette rather than the S2's slimmer redesign. It remains a strong choice at a lower price point for buyers who don't need Lossless wireless streaming.
