AKG N5005, on sale now for only $200. Get them quick before they run out. These use to be $1000 ear buds. They even come with a bluetooth adaptor to run in blue tooth mode. In that lossy mode, they still sound better than bang and olufson EX.

@@Ricer-b4n They've been on an 80% sale for a year, and it's $160 now. Still seems like a good deal other than the bad resale, which probably means it wasn't worth the price, though. But if B&O made $1k earbuds, it would easily surpass these

How do you rate the call quality on this? I’ve owned AirPods Pro 2 and the call quality was great on them considering the option to choose ‘Voice Isolation’ as part of the mic settings in iOS. Given I’m inclined to use this for calls as well, what’s your feedback on that front?
@hhoebeke14 ай бұрын
I got the P7I S2 with a very good deal last year, mainly because of the Bluetooth transmission through the case. It is very useful for flying, and it's great that they kept this functionality (I saw somewhere that Jabra has this now as well?) However, besides being used for flying, I hardly take them out; they sound okay - arguably a bit better than the AirPods Pro. However, they are not loud enough and always sound slightly muffled and held back. I hope this is no longer the case with the new model. Another detail... on one of the flights with an in-seat audio jack, the cable snapped at the 3.5 audio input. And after spending quite some time to find another 3.5 to USB-C cable, I quickly discovered these don't work, you need the Bowers and Wilkins cable. The customer service was fantastic, and when I explained, they quickly sent me a new cable that works like a charm (thanks again for the quick and excellent support. So be careful with the cable when travelling.

I just upgraded from the Pi7 S2, and they do sound better, my only gripe I have is that they get a lot of interference in crowded areas like a busy gym. I have a ZFold 6. I literally had go into developer mode and switch to codec AAC instead of Qualcomm Aptx Audio to get the min interference. I tested the sound quality between AAC and Aptx and I cant notice a difference in music streaming experience in my QOBUZ app. I don't know if its a Samsung issue or what not but It is not acceptable to get that kind of interference for a pair of $440 true wireless ear buds. I did not have an issue with my Pi7 S2. I mainly use them at the gym for a premium listening experience. I have the Galaxy Buds 3 Pro and I get zero interference, but to say they sound better than the Pi8 is a major understatement. I have a work iPhone I will try them out at the gym to check out the performance.

That way i could know for sure when aptx adaptive or aptx-hd or just regular aptx was used..on the pi7 the case was only able to retransmit standard aptx via usb or apt low latency with the cable to stereo jack ...so no hires audio with the PI7 case.

I got the Pi8 recently. I also have the bigger over-ear Px8. To be honest: the Pi8 sound better than the Px8. The over ear version lacks a bit of bass out of the box (you really need to tweak the 3 band EQ to change that). It has a bit too much mids too imho. The Pi8's are not about bass like Bose QC Earbuds II, but they have a really impressive sound. Everything sounds clearer and more detailed than on the Bose QC. One con for both the Pi8 and the Px8 is that they don't have the best ANC. You will still hear people talking around you. For perfect ANC, you really have to look at Bose and (probably) Sony. B&W opted for perfect sound over perfect ANC, as always.

I love these headphones, I found that i changed the EQ and kept going back to default so I think B&W knows better than me what sounds best haha. Only wish would be that we could customize controls at little further, I would like to get volume & ANC control at the same time, I don't think we need both sides to be dedicated to Skip and Back track for double and triple tap. I'd like to see single be Pause/Play (and maybe just ANC control on one side), double tap to be forward and back on each earbud, triple to be ANC control and Siri and then hold as volume, that seems to be the best setup across the board. Besides that these are a homerun.

At this premium price and no price drop atm the i8's simply aren't worth it for a 5% audio improvement. You want MUCH better sound get a set of say planar cans for less than the i8's and keep your current set.

After using pi7/s2 the last 3 years i can say that the main thing with B&W is the indifference they shows to solve any issue comes up with new firmaware. Maybe it's the only company who doesn't care to release any new firmaware for better user experience. Imagine the tech ecosystems without updates and new firmwares.

Probably the fact they sold to a coldly indifferent umbrella company? In the U.K. I found out the customer support guy is not B&W he’s a guy called Ken. Is he working out of a caravan off the M62?
