Popular questions
How effective is the noise cancellation?
Active noise cancellation effectively dampens traffic rumble, street noise, and office background sounds. At the same time, the system is tuned delicately and does not create a feeling of pressure in the ears, although the model may lag behind some specialized competitors in terms of complete isolation from the outside world. A transparency mode is provided for quickly switching to voice.Source:SpecificationsExpert reviews
How long does a single charge last, and is fast charging supported?
The battery provides approximately 30 hours of continuous music playback. Fully recharging via the USB-C port takes about 2 hours. If the headphones run out of power before you head out, 15 minutes of charging will provide up to 7 more hours of use.Source:Specifications
Can I listen to music via a USB-C cable?
Yes, the headphones can be connected directly to a computer or smartphone via cable. In this mode, they work as a high-quality digital-to-analog converter, revealing maximum detail in uncompressed Hi-Res recordings. A detachable 1.2-meter cable is already included.Source:SpecificationsExpert reviews
How do the B&W PX8 S2 sound when connected wirelessly?
The sound is clean, controlled, and detailed across the entire frequency range. The 40 mm drivers with carbon diaphragms maintain clarity even at high volume and in dense tracks, while the bass sounds fast and taut without boominess. Support for the aptX Adaptive codec ensures highly accurate transmission with a stable connection.Source:SpecificationsExpert reviews
Does simultaneous connection to two devices work?
The headphones can work with two devices simultaneously—the model supports the Multipoint function. They maintain simultaneous connections, for example, with a laptop and a smartphone, automatically switching to an incoming call while you work at the computer. A proprietary app is used for fine-tuning the sound and the five-band equalizer.Source:SpecificationsExpert reviews
What materials are the PX8 S2 headphones made of?
The frame and swiveling earcup mounts are made of aluminum, while the earpads and headband are covered in genuine leather. The leather provides comfortable temperature regulation during extended wear, and the earpads and headband themselves are removable for convenient replacement in the future. The headphones weigh 310 grams and feel compact when worn.Source:SpecificationsExpert reviews
