Sennheiser momentum 4 vs Bose Quietcomfort vs Bowers and Wilkins PX7 S2e?

Ruling out ANC, on sound quality alone: Momentum 4 > B&W PX7 S2e > Bose QC Considering ANC: Bose QC > Momentum 4 ~= B&W PX7 S2e The Momentum will also have much better customization options when it comes to EQ, offering both a 5-band EQ and Sound Personalization, which is a pretty powerful little to

My PX8 experience

I've been sick for a week and my ears seem to still be congested. Last week, for many weeks, I was sure my B&W Px8 were the greatest sounding ANC headphones ever the way I adjusted them months ago in the app, with the most comfortable Bose QC Ultra 2nd Gen also adjusted to my preference pretty much

Px7 S2e just the goat?

B&W headphones have a warm, bass-heavy sound profile. In my experience, it can even sound a bit like a turntable. Newer models have moved further away from this sound, focusing more on treble while minimizing bass and mid-bass. With the PX8 S2, not only are the treble shrill, but they also sound unn

Taking apart PX8.

The pads are clipped on with plastic tabs, they come off pretty easily, just use your fingernails and put them in between the pads backing and the plastic ring and it should come right off Then proceed to remove the black torx screws (use the proper head, they're easily stripped otherwise), once don

H100

Yeah, the new headband construction introduced with H95/HX/Portal is a huge fail unfortunately, compared to the older one used from H6 down to H9 3rd Gen which would last a century. Seems like B&W headphones (Px7 S2/S3 and Px8/S2) are affected by that same issue even more though. Thankfully H100 are

PX8 bracket - material problems

in my experience, b&w is hit or miss. i do not have px8. i did have the orginal px, and the whole earpiece broke. most of my bad experience with b&w was the usability and hardware quality. the sound is amazing, but they really need to spend time making a full product. i had 4 of their headphones, 2

PX8 S2 Launch poster

If I remember correctly from the Px7 S3's release, B&W have stated to some reviewers that the adhesive or application of it on the headband and earcups have seen a change from the Px7 S2. I think it's going to be the same case here, and hopefully that means no more falling apart.

B&W please do not let the PX8 S2 become the standard for sound.

Wait a minute... I have original Px8 and I thought they were the ones going for flat neutral sound after PX7 S2... But I agree with OP, B&W was succesful because they allways managed to sound "audiophile" but actually attractive, they stood out from the rest of hifi products. Of course many listener

I thought I was a Sennheiser guy...

Compared the Momentum 4 to the PX7 S2. Stock sound of the B&W definitely is better/more hifi. But I hated the ANC. Got a feeling of pressure on my ears and missed an adjustment of ANC in the app. With a little eq (wavelet app) I really like my Momentum 4 now. Stock sound was too bassy and not enough

Bose QC have terrible noise cancellation

Bose has always had the pretty much the best noise cancelation performance with around ear headphones, especially the QC Ultras 1st gen and 2nd gen. The 2nd gen makes ANC even better by bringing down the level of "noise cancelling hiss" to near zero. Something is wrong with your hearing, the way the
