Bowers & Wilkins Px8 S2 ANC Wireless Over-Ear Headphones

Uncompromising Sound Quality

The Bowers & Wilkins PX8 S2 represents the brand’s ultimate achievement in wireless noise-cancelling headphones. Equipped with newly developed 40 mm carbon-fibre drivers featuring redesigned voice coils, suspension and magnet systems, the PX8 S2 delivers faster transient response and exceptionally low distortion. Supporting up to 24-bit/96 kHz playback with Qualcomm® aptX™ Lossless technology, it brings wired-level sound quality to wireless listening. From deep, powerful bass and richly textured vocals to crystal-clear treble extension, the PX8 S2 precisely reproduces every detail for an authentic and natural sound experience.

Next-Generation Active Noise Cancellation

Compared to its predecessor, the PX8 S2 introduces an all-new eight-microphone ANC system—two more than before—capable of more accurately detecting and cancelling external noise. This advanced noise-cancellation technology isolates you from distractions while preserving musical energy and dynamics, ensuring full immersion. Whether commuting, working in a busy office, or travelling long-haul, the PX8 S2 creates your personal oasis of calm. Using the Bowers & Wilkins Music app, you can switch between ANC modes, including Transparency mode, to stay aware of your surroundings when needed.

Exquisite Craftsmanship & Comfort

Following a refined lightweight design philosophy, the PX8 S2 weighs just 310 g—10 g lighter than the original PX8. Its slim, ergonomic profile ensures a perfect fit with long-term comfort. The headband and ear cushions are wrapped in luxurious Nappa leather and lined with memory-foam padding for outstanding comfort. The exposed aluminium design pays homage to the classic P5 headphones, highlighting Bowers & Wilkins’ dedication to craftsmanship. Every diamond-cut metal accent and precisely stitched leather surface exudes luxury. Available in elegant Onyx Black and Warm Stone finishes, the PX8 S2 complements both professional and casual styles.

Smart Features & Intuitive Control

The PX8 S2 uses precise physical button controls instead of touch surfaces for reliable operation on the move. A built-in wear sensor automatically pauses playback when you remove the headphones and resumes when worn again. Through the Bowers & Wilkins Music app, you can fine-tune your sound with the new five-band EQ or select TrueSound™ mode for the brand’s signature tuning. The app also supports streaming directly from Deezer, TIDAL and Qobuz, complete with curated playlists. Bluetooth 5.3 with multipoint connectivity lets you pair two devices simultaneously and switch seamlessly between work and leisure.

Exceptional Call Quality & Battery Performance

The eight-microphone array also employs Bowers & Wilkins’ proprietary ADI PureVoice technology to isolate speech and ensure crystal-clear call quality in noisy environments. With up to 30 hours of listening time (ANC on), the PX8 S2 easily handles long journeys or multiple days of use. A 15-minute fast charge gives you 7 hours of playback. Alongside Bluetooth wireless, USB-C and 3.5 mm wired connections provide flexible listening options.

For True Music Lovers

With over 60 years of audio expertise—from the legendary Nautilus to the 800 Series Diamond loudspeakers—Bowers & Wilkins continues its pursuit of sonic purity. The PX8 S2 employs the same carbon-fibre driver technology used in the brand’s flagship speakers to reproduce every note with lifelike precision. Whether it’s the grandeur of classical symphonies, the intimacy of jazz, or the energy of modern pop, the PX8 S2 delivers uncompromising performance. More than a pair of headphones, it is a meticulously crafted instrument for experiencing music anywhere, anytime.
