Bowers & Wilkins Px8 S2 Over-Ear Wireless Headphones With Active Noise Cancelling

Bowers & Wilkins Px8 S2 Luxury Bluetooth Wireless Headphones With ANC

Overview

The Bowers & Wilkins Px8 S2 Wireless Headphones with ANC embody the pinnacle of over-ear design and acoustic performance. Hand-assembled using premium materials and tuned by the same engineers behind Bowers & Wilkins’ legendary loudspeakers, the PX8 S2 delivers true reference-grade wireless sound — rich, natural, and effortlessly detailed.

Every element reflects craftsmanship and purpose. The PX8 S2 features a precision-machined die-cast aluminium frame complemented by soft Nappa leather on the headband and ear cushions. The design feels light yet substantial, providing lasting comfort for long listening sessions. Its sculpted silhouette and refined finish signal both luxury and performance.

Inside each earcup, 40 mm carbon-cone drivers — inspired by Bowers & Wilkins’ reference speaker technology — deliver exceptional clarity and control. The drivers are carefully angled within the earcups to ensure lifelike stereo imaging and a wide, natural soundstage. A high-precision 24-bit DSP engine optimises signal flow, preserving dynamic range and revealing the finest musical textures.

Wireless performance is state-of-the-art. The PX8 S2 uses Bluetooth 5.3 with aptX Adaptive and aptX Lossless for high-resolution streaming. A USB-C input supports direct digital playback, while the included 3.5 mm analogue cable provides flexibility for wired sources. Whichever connection you choose, the PX8 S2 maintains tonal purity and spatial precision that few wireless headphones can match.

Noise-cancelling has been refined to deliver a more natural experience. Eight microphones work in unison — six for adaptive noise cancellation and two for clear voice pickup. This intelligent system effectively reduces external noise while preserving the integrity of your music. Conversations remain crisp, and ambient awareness feels lifelike.

Battery performance is equally advanced. The PX8 S2 provides up to 30 hours of playback with active noise cancellation enabled. A 15-minute quick charge offers up to seven additional hours of listening, ensuring uninterrupted sound wherever you go.

The Bowers & Wilkins Music App simplifies setup and control. You can customise the five-band EQ, adjust noise-cancellation strength, and manage connections across devices. Firmware updates install automatically, keeping the PX8 S2 optimised for long-term use. Physical earcup controls make daily operation easy, while proximity sensors automatically pause playback when the headphones are removed.

Sonically, the PX8 S2 wireless headphones from Bowers & Wilkins defines balance and refinement. Bass notes are tight and articulate, the midrange is expressive and natural, and treble is clean without harshness. The presentation feels open, engaging, and emotionally immersive — perfectly suited to every genre, from acoustic jazz to electronic soundscapes.

Available in two sophisticated finishes — Onyx Black and Warm Stone — the PX8 S2 embodies modern elegance. Both versions are beautifully detailed, combining texture, tone, and precision for a timeless design that complements any environment.

For Groove Central listeners seeking premium wireless headphones that balance beauty, comfort, and sound quality, the Bowers & Wilkins PX8 S2 stands apart. It’s not just an evolution of the PX7 S3 or the award-winning PX8 — it’s the ultimate expression of Bowers & Wilkins’ pursuit of perfection in personal audio.
