Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bowers & Wilkins has always been a favorite audio brand for me. I have had the pleasure of owning many products from them, from speakers to headphones. They always met the standard I held them to. These ear buds by them, however, fall a bit short in my opinion. They have lots of feature, which all work but they lack in a couple areas. Now, like I stated earlier, I hold a company such as Bowers & Wilkins to a higher standard as that is what they have always delivered. The biggest features of these ear buds would be the noise cancelling, the ability to be used with the app, the fast charging and the sound quality itself. The fast charging works well and truly is pretty quick. The app, used on my phone, works well and paired quickly and easily. I enjoy the ability to stream directly from the app and do my adjustments and such on it as well. This is definitely a cool feature. Now, the sound quality and noise cancelling, to me, fall short. I feel, while the sound is good, it is not up to par with the standard I hold Bowers & Wilkins to. The same goes for the noise cancelling. While it does work, it doesn't drown out the outside noise as well as I feel it should. These earbuds compare to many others on the market at the same price point. I feel there are even better sounding ones, from other brands, that aren't as well known in the audio world like B&W is. Overall, these are good ear buds for the average user but for someone looking for normal B&W sound quality, I don't feel these are it.

Have purchased high end headphones, in the past, and always was like a dog chasing its tail, never satisfied. My last headphone purchase, was for for the birds, costing me 999 dollars. They could take there , Harmen curve, and bury it. Here is where B@W Px8 comes in, They are everything I have ever wanted. Volume is better, than most. Bass thumps with the sound stage being wide. love these headphones.

Just amazing. Have the Px7 S2e and somehow these in ears are just as good w regards to their soundstage. And really confortable? Expensive but well worth the money.

You will put 36 speakers in a BMW for $4800 and these are $4900 for two speakers? Wow

Very beautiful I want to buy!!! The color is amazing. I think they are very comfortable.

Good set of headphones little pricey for what you get

Chronic Problems with the duos: 1). Sudden stop while playing. 2) skipping to the next song without being prompted to do so. 3). ‘Cannot connect to airplay’ The B&W application often cannot see the duos. Or it may take more than 5 minutes to see the duos. Sometimes I’d just give up and walk away. 4). Airplay appears to be connected but no sound comes out as if a blank tape is being played. The same downloaded material played fine previously. I’ve used restart, factory reset, unplugging electrical cords, pressing the button located in front of the duos,....And I’m tired of doing so. My duos have been a huge disappointment. Either I have bought a Lemmon or the duos are not ready for the market, yet. More research and testing need to be done! I would not recommend the formation duos.

Awaiting my Prize! Will update after June 12th upon arrival.

I bought these on sale ($650.00 vs reg $800.00). I put them on charge after opening the package. Going through the setup I paired them to my Fold 7 and saw that they had only charged to 68%. I then tried to pair them to my brand new Samsung 85" 8K TV. I thought it would be no different than pairing WiFi speakers, needless to say they wouldn't pair. After trying to get them to charge to 100%, I contacted B&W and they said to return them. I wasn't about to get caught up with tariffs and paperwork shipping them back to the UK so I took them to my local Best Buy and got my money back. I won't be getting another set.

Unusable! I regret I didn't read the reviews here before I ordered. I tried the formation duo speakers on 4 different WIFI networks and it never worked stable. The first one was the best, the second worked not at all, on all others the system is totally unstable. My 5G signal from my current router can't even be detected! A so called B&W service expert came and tried for 3 hours, nothing better. The Audio box he could never set up to stream even a single bit of music to the speakers. The next trial is to use another router. If this also doesn't work I'll ask them to take everything back. The App is incredible poor, how can anyone be satisfied with this crap? Theoretically the sound is good, practically the products are unusable.

Im gonna keep this short and sweet. My main headphones I use at my desktop are Hifiman HE1000SE’s with a Benchmark HPA4 amp and Chord Qutest DAC. I wanted a high quality pair of earbuds for travel since Im used to high quality sound at home. Let me just say how sad I was when I got these Bowers after glowing reviews. These have some of the peakiest treble ive heard from a pair of headphones and ive heard a lot. I tried all the different tips and none made a difference. I couldnt even play a single metal or edm song without the piercing treble taking over. 100% returning and sticking with my Airpods Pro. I should have known better based on Bowers speakers but these really take it to another level of piercing treble quality. Also it cant be EQ’d without destroying the rest of the sound signature.
