Bowers & Wilkins Px8 Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones

Px8

Over-ear noise cancelling headphones

Bowers & Wilkins is defined by excellence, by a compulsive desire to make a better product. And when it comes to wireless headphones, we’ve never made a better product than Px8, our flagship and the new reference in headphone design. Engineered to excel in every area, it’s the ultimate combination of exceptional sound quality, premium materials, intelligent technology, and smart features.

Px8 is built around a 24-bit wireless platform optimised for high-resolution music streaming. Its carefully angled 40mm drive units are engineered to even higher standards: thanks to its innovative new Carbon Cones, Px8 can capture those crucial musical details that other headphones simply miss. This is wireless headphone listening on an all-new level of focus, immersion and realism.

Px8 combines outstanding sound quality with brilliant noise cancellation, call clarity and smart feature set, including up to 30 hours of wireless listening. It features reference-class luxury in its build and finish: its cast aluminum arms, fine Nappa leather trim, and diamond-cut bright edge detailing leave you in no doubt that here is a headphone every bit as special as it sounds. Available in a range of elegant finishes, including our classic Tan and Black models, as well as the all-new striking Royal Burgundy and Dark Forest, Px8 offers luxury that complements exquisite sound quality.

A new reference in wireless headphones

Px8 combines its high-resolution 24-bit DSP brain with all-new 40mm Carbon Cones that deliver outstanding resolution. By reducing distortion and improving high-frequency detail, the carbon cone captures nuances in your music that other headphone drive units miss – and in Px8, that means more of the music that matters, more of the time.

Cancel the noise, not your music

Px8 uses a total of six microphones for noise cancellation performance that shuts out unwanted intrusions yet does no harm to your favourite music’s dynamics and energy. Careful positioning and angling of those microphones ensures outstanding call quality too, even in noisy environments.

The new leader in headphone design

PX8 features luxurious materials and purposeful design. Its cast aluminum arms are supremely light and stiff for superior durability, while its sumptuous Nappa leather combines with perfectly crafted memory foam earpads to provide effortless all-day comfort plus supreme durability. Diamond-cut bright metal detailing perfectly finishes the luxurious, premium look.

Smart, intuitive, effortless

Px8 uses the Bowers & Wilkins Music App to set up your preferred level of noise cancellation transparency or adjust your EQ preferences. Launch your phone’s voice assistant at the touch of a button. And, with 30 hours of battery life, you can listen all day long – and more – on just one charge.

Carbon Cones

Inspired by Bowers & Wilkins' award-winning 700 Series loudspeakers, Px8 uses a new and breakthrough drive unit technology: the Carbon Cone. The stiffer carbon-fibre cone reduces distortion compared to a standard headphone drive unit, resulting in lower noise on the cone and massively improved clarity. Coupled to a fully optimised drive unit motor system, with revised magnet, voice coil and surround, the result is unparalleled accuracy from a B&W headphone drive unit.

High-resolution sound with advanced DSP

Px8 uses aptX Adaptive wireless technology to automatically optimise wireless music transmission from suitable phones, tablets and computers. Coupled to powerful Bowers & Wilkins-developed DSP (Digital Signal Processing), the result is outstanding 24-bit sound quality from suitable streaming services and compatible devices. Connect to your computer via USB, and you’ll enjoy even better wired high-res quality.

Optimized Noise Cancellation

Px8 uses proprietary Bowers & Wilkins-optimised noise cancellation technology to ensure outstanding performance with no impact on musicality. Six microphones work together to deliver the best results: two measure the output of each drive unit, two listen to ambient noise from the outside world, and two provide outstanding voice performance with enhanced noise suppression from Alango.

Bowers & Wilkins Music App

The Bowers & Wilkins Music App for iOS and Android puts you in full control. Use it to pair your headphones to your preferred devices, fine-tune the sound EQ to your preferences, adjust the noise cancelling transparency mode to let in more or less of the outside world and monitor your charge levels. Physical controls on each earcup ensure you’ll always be in control even if your phone isn’t readily to hand.
