Bowers & Wilkins has launched its new flagship wireless headphone, the Px8. The company says that this model sets a new reference standard for sound, build and finish in the active noise canceling wireless headphone category.
The heart of the Px8 is the same active noise canceling wireless platform found in the Px7 S2, already one of the best-sounding headphones in its class, B&W states. Inspired by the Carbon Dome drive units used in Bowers & Wilkins' highly successful 700 Series loudspeaker range, the Px8’s new Carbon Cones deliver an combination of ultra-fast response plus low distortion throughout the frequency range. The result, according to the press release, is resolution, detail and timing that surpasses the high bar set by the Px7 S2. The drive units in Px8 are carefully angled inside each ear cup to ensure a consistent distance relative to the listener’s ear from every point across the surface of each driver.
The new headphone is available in two finishes, black leather or tan leather, and now has a cast-aluminum arm structure that references Bowers & Wilkins signature design language, plus a diamond-cut bright edge on each elliptical logo plate. The ear cups, memory-foam cushions and headband are trimmed in soft, luxurious Nappa leather.
The Px8 uses Qualcomm’s aptX Adaptive wireless technology, while USB-C and 3.5mm analogue cable connections are also supported, with both cable types included in the carry case that accompanies the product.
Whether using wireless or wired connections, the Px8 features Bowers & Wilkins-developed DSP to deliver outstanding, 24-bit high-resolution sound quality from leading streaming services.
The noise cancellation technology uses six microphones working together to deliver the best results: two measure the output of each drive unit, two react to ambient noise from the outside world and two provide voice clarity with enhanced noise suppression.
The launch of the new Px8 will see a major upgrade for the Bowers & Wilkins Music App. The app will allow Px8 users to stream their chosen music directly from their mobile device to their headphones, with Deezer, Qobuz and TIDAL all supported, while also simplifies connection of the Px8 to a mobile device, supports fine-tuning of the sound through adjustable EQ, and allows owners to configure their preferred noise-canceling mode, all while monitoring the headphone’s charge levels.
