Overview

The new benchmark in headphones

The Px8 is the new flagship in the Bowers & Wilkins range of wireless headphones. It represents the ultimate combination of outstanding performance, premium materials, intelligent technology and advanced features. B&W has never made better headphones than the Px8. A high-resolution 24-bit DSP brain is combined with all-new driver technology to deliver exceptional resolution, capable of capturing the nuances in your music that less capable headphones miss. Headphone listening reaches new levels of immersion and realism.

Angled carbon cones and exceptional comfort

The Px8's precisely angled carbon cone drivers reduce distortion, dramatically improving clarity. Coupled with a fully optimised 'motor system', featuring a revised magnet, voice coiland surround, the result is unrivalled precision and realism.

The cast aluminium frames and Nappa leather finish leave no doubt that the Px8 is as special a headphone as they come. And with 30 hours of listening time on a single charge, you can enjoy the experience for more than a day at a time.

High-resolution sound with advanced DSP and noise cancellation

The Px8 uses aptX adaptive wireless technology and powerful digital signal processing to deliver outstanding 24-bit high-resolution sound quality from the right streaming services. Connect to your laptop via USB, and you'll enjoy exactly the same high-resolution quality.

The Px8's proprietary Bowers & Wilkins optimised noise cancellation technology ensures exceptional performance with no impact on musicality. Six microphones work together to deliver the best results, both for noise cancellation and clearer voice calls.
