Customer Ratings & Reviews

Ill keep this short and say that within a year the arms snapped. it’s a known problem, but not one that B&W are willing to own….. not just in my case, but in the hundreds of cases that have cropped up over the years. Google/Reddit “ Bowers And Wilkins., PX, snapped arms”… not only will you find numerous forum posts of helpless music lovers suddenly out $800 but you’ll find full videos and websites dedicated to this specific problem created by disappointed B&W devotes who were left out in the cold. It’s really disheartening because I’ve bought B&W for years but have since sold roughly $10,000 of their equipment… everything I had… over this one issue because it was just such a glaring unethical thing to have happen at this price point.

Really good deals i love the sound of music and concerts no regrets to buy my news toy

Great sound & quality of materials. I wish they had worked out the “hey siri” option without pressing a button.

Expensive but was very good items any musicand very likely much

[Employee of bestbuy] Awesome love the noise canceling effect great buy love me best buy!

Beautiful sounds with quality build. Very impressed!

I have B&W speakers and over the ear headphones. Bought these for travel and they are great.

Great cans, and for the sale price, amazing! I know the s2 is out, but I am very happy with these!!!

I have had many different brands of ear buds and these, by far, have the best sound quality. If you are strictly looking for sound quality, then I would definitely reccomend Pi8. But, the battery life is short. I wear these at work. 4 hours MAX.

Great build quality and sound . Nice materials. Feels luxury

I can give you a plus for ultra fancy design. However, there are a couple of things they need to consider as work in process or room for improvement, especially for the price : *Noise cancellation is not quite there yet *Constant disconnection from my device *No Equalizer at all, not even the most basic presets such as Jazz, Concert Hall, Rock, etc. Only treble and bass? Not what was expecting. *Napa Leather? Not quite sure about that *Padding on Headband a little extra cushion please will be perfect considering parts of this stylish design are in metal. I try to like it, since want to give a step up from my Sony's, unfortunatelly the sound quality is very relevant for me and my expectations for these headphones were high up, based on reviews, sadly they will be return.

I am a critical music listener and this product is going to stay with me for long time.

Best headphones I’ve ever used for under $1000. Very high quality materials.

These are the best sounding headphones I have in my collection

Im very particular when it comes to audio. If you have the budget its worth your time.

Good quality product to use. Good sound and highly recommended for audiophiles

I’ve come to know Bowers and Wilkins for their home audio speakers having a 5.1 system as my home entertainment system. Since I loved my speakers I was really anxious to get my hands on the Pi8 earbuds. I work in an open concept office for an engineering company and it really gets noisy, especially in the morning when we have our calls with our counterparts in India. The adjacent calls can be very distracting so I’m always looking for a pair of earbuds with active noise cancelling to help silence the noise. The Pi8 earbuds did not disappoint. Out of the box the medium tips that were already installed fit my ears perfectly. They do include 3 other pairs of tips so you can fine tune the fit to your ears. Also included is a charging case, a USB-C to USB-C charging cable and something you don’t usually see with other earbuds… a USB-C to 3.5mm jack audio cable (cool feature later). The charging case supports wireless charging so no need to plug in if you have a desktop wireless charger. The other feature of the case has to do with the included audio cable. This was a jaw dropper for me… the charging case can act as an audio transmitter if using the included USB-C to 3.5mm jack cable. So if you have a vintage audio player that doesn’t have Bluetooth you can use the tethered case as the interface. MIND BLOWN!!!! I have a stash of old iPods (yes, the old ones with wheel and audio jack) and now I can use them with the Pi8!!! Heck, I might even dig out my old Walkman cassette player!!! The Bowers and Wilkins Music app does a great job of linking 3rd party services such as Pandora and Tidal but I just use my Apple Music app or other streaming apps to push my music to the Pi8’s. With the app you can customize the touch controls, use the advanced equalizer to adjust the tone to your liking or I just leave it on True Sound which gets you a balanced output. You can also switch between pass through (which offers a bit of noise cancelling), noise cancelling or no noise cancelling. The app will also provide any firmware updates if any should be required. Finally the app also shows you the battery level for both the earbuds and the charging case. The sound quality is amazing. Switching between my rock, progressive rock, and audio books I find the True Sound audio output perfect without having to tweak the equalizer. I tend to wear my earbuds throughout the day due to the high noise level so I get in the habit of keeping my charging case’s battery at least 50% level and when I take a break away from my desk, I will toss the earbuds into the case. I get between 6 or 7 hours of full run time but since I do put them in the charger when I’m away from my desk I can usually go the whole day (11 hours) without having to worry about battery life. They are extremely comfortable, so I have no problem wearing them the entire day. The only ding I can give the Pi8’s is the price. At $399 it may be tough to justify for some but if you need a good pair of noise cancelling earbuds these are hard to beat.

Like the sound quality, build quality, and noise cancellation.

Amazing oroduct snd is truly amazkng. Would recommend

These speaker are incredible. Deep, rich bass and sparkling highs. They support AirPlay2 and are home kit compatible.
