Audiophiles on a budget just caught a break. Amazon has slashed prices on the luxury Bowers & Wilkins Px8 over-ear headphones, bringing flagship materials and sound down to sub-$500 territory.
What Makes the Px8 Special
These cans pack 40-mm carbon-cone drivers lifted straight from the brand’s 700 Series speakers. Derrick M. Collins says the result is “a thrillingly adept, informative, and engaging listen without being ostentatious,” with bass that shows excellent definition.
Premium finishes-black, tan, dark forest, royal burgundy-let buyers match their style. The tan version currently sits lowest at just under $420, while the other colors hover below the $500 mark.
Noise-Canceling & App Perks
Bowers & Wilkins may not top ANC charts, but the Px8 still hushes both cabin rumble and daily clatter. Settings stay simple: on, off, or pass-through.
The companion app adds:
- Basic EQ tweaks
- In-app streaming links
- Firmware updates
Battery life stretches to 30 hours, and a 15-minute quick-juice session delivers another 7 hours of play.
