"Few headphones perfectly blend design, sound quality, and everyday utility. Sony's headphones sound great, Bose's headphones have great design qualities, and Apple's headphones perform remarkably well with other Apple devices. Conversely, brands like Focal, which offer headphones with exceptional sound quality and minimal digital features, have a $1,200 asking price and weaker noise-canceling capabilities. Still, to many people, the consumer-friendly sound of the most popular headphones isn't good enough -- they want an elevated sound without compromising the most valuable software features."
"Also: I replaced my AirPods Max with the AirPods Pro 3, and didn't mind the $300 price gap The art of blending all of the previously mentioned qualities is Bowers & Wilkins' specialty, marrying high-quality audio with the everyday consumer's needs. The , the second generation of its flagship headphones, debut with an upgraded Qualcomm chipset, better noise cancellation, improved wireless audio streaming quality, and new internal audio components."
Bowers & Wilkins positions the Px8 S2 as a flagship headphone that upgrades chipset, noise cancellation, wireless streaming, and internal audio components to elevate both sound and usability. The Px8 S2 employs premium materials: nappa leather on the headband and ear pads, aluminum yokes with an exposed braided cable, and aluminum-accented earcups for a refined aesthetic. Competing brands emphasize different strengths: Sony for sound, Bose for design qualities, Apple for ecosystem performance, and Focal for audiophile sound at a much higher price with weaker noise cancellation. The Px8 S2 is priced above the Px7 S3 but offers material and component improvements.
