Bowers & Wilkins PX8 S2 - Bluetooth Headphone

Bowers & Wilkins Px8 S2 – The new reference standard among wireless headphones

With the Bowers & Wilkins Px8 S2, the British premium audio brand presents its new flagship wireless headphones. The successor to the award-winning Px8 combines state-of-the-art technology, uncompromising sound quality, and luxurious design. The result: headphones that set new standards in the field of wireless over-ear headphones.

Ultimate sound – as the artist intended.

The Px8 S2 delivers the best sound Bowers & Wilkins has ever achieved in a pair of headphones. Equipped with 40mm drivers featuring carbon fiber diaphragms , a newly developed chassis, optimized magnets, and dedicated amplifiers, it offers breathtaking detail, transparency, and dynamics . The angled driver position ensures precise sound imaging and an impressively spacious stereo experience.

Wireless high-resolution sound

Thanks to aptX Adaptive (24-bit/96 kHz) and aptX Lossless, the Px8 S2 guarantees lossless wireless transmission – ideal for streaming via Amazon Music, Qobuz, or TIDAL. This is complemented by a powerful Bowers & Wilkins DSP , USB-C audio with Hi-Res support, and an analog 3.5 mm jack.

Advanced noise cancellation & crystal-clear calls

With eight high-performance microphones and the latest ADI Pure Voice speech processing, the Px8 S2 offers one of the best active noise cancellations on the market. Music remains dynamic and natural, while distracting ambient noise is effectively blocked out. For phone calls, precise microphone positioning ensures crystal-clear voice quality – even in noisy environments.

Luxury design & maximum comfort

The Px8 S2's design combines premium materials like nappa leather and aluminum with an ergonomically optimized fit. Slimmer and lighter than its predecessor, it offers exceptional comfort even during extended listening sessions. The headphones are available in the stylish colors Onyx Black and Warm Stone . Replaceable ear pads and headband ensure long-lasting durability.

Powerful battery & intelligent features

With a battery life of up to 30 hours and a quick-charge function (7 hours of playback in just 15 minutes of charging), the Px8 S2 is a reliable companion on the go. Sound profiles, noise-canceling modes, equalizer, and transparency mode can be customized via the Bowers & Wilkins Music App . Physical controls offer additional intuitive operation.

The headphones are also future-proof: 3D audio support and Bluetooth LE audio with Auracast™ will follow via a free firmware update.
