Bowers & Wilkins Pi8 Reference In-Ear True Wireless Earbuds

Bowers & Wilkins Pi8 Wireless Bluetooth IEM with ANC

Overview

The Bowers & Wilkins Pi8 True Wireless Earbuds represent the peak of in-ear wireless performance. Designed by the same acoustic engineers who create the brand’s legendary loudspeakers, the Pi8 blends luxury design, advanced connectivity, and outstanding audio fidelity in a compact, everyday form.

Every surface of the Pi8 feels premium. The slim, sculpted housings feature elegant metallic accents and an ergonomic contour that ensures a secure, comfortable fit. They feel light in the ear yet solid in build — perfect for long listening sessions or travel.

At the heart of the Pi8 is a pair of 12 mm carbon-cone dynamic drivers. This driver design reproduces sound with incredible accuracy, delivering a full, open soundstage and outstanding tonal balance. Bass is controlled and textured, mids are rich and lifelike, and treble is detailed yet smooth. The result is a natural, dynamic sound that stays true to every recording.

The Pi8 introduces Bluetooth 5.4 with support for aptX Adaptive and aptX Lossless codecs, ensuring 24-bit high-resolution audio on compatible devices. Multipoint connectivity allows you to pair with multiple sources, switching seamlessly between your phone, tablet, or laptop without losing sync or clarity.

Noise cancellation is equally advanced. The adaptive ANC system uses external microphones and intelligent digital processing to reduce background noise without harming musical detail. An Ambient Pass-Through mode lets you stay aware of your surroundings when needed — ideal for commuting, travel, or office use.

Battery performance has been optimised for modern lifestyles. The earbuds deliver up to 6.5 hours of playback on a single charge, while the elegant charging case extends total listening time to around 20 hours. A quick-charge option provides additional hours of playback in just minutes, ensuring your music never stops.

The Pi8’s charging case adds even more versatility. It supports both wireless charging and wired retransmission, allowing you to connect directly to in-flight entertainment systems or non-Bluetooth devices. This thoughtful feature turns the Pi8 into a truly universal listening companion.

Control is simple and intuitive. Each earbud features touch-sensitive controls for playback, calls, ANC adjustments, and voice assistance. The Bowers & Wilkins Music App offers fine-tuning through a five-band EQ, ANC level control, firmware updates, and device management. Everything is designed to give you total control over your listening experience.

The IP54 rating provides protection against dust and light water exposure, making the Pi8 suitable for gym use, travel, or outdoor activity. The premium materials ensure long-term durability while maintaining the brand’s unmistakable design elegance.

Sonically, the Pi8 continues Bowers & Wilkins’ commitment to natural, engaging sound. Instruments and vocals sound lifelike and precise, with real space and definition. The sense of timing and rhythm is superb, bringing energy and excitement to every track.

For Groove Central listeners seeking flagship true wireless earbuds that combine comfort, performance, and craftsmanship, the Bowers & Wilkins Pi8 stands at the top. It transforms portable listening into a truly high-fidelity experience — compact, refined, and unmistakably Bowers & Wilkins.
