Bowers & Wilkins is on a roll of late, having already delivered my favourite headphones of 2025. Mere months on, the brand's top-tier version, the PX8, is back for its second-generation release – and what an upgrade it is.
Having worn the Bowers & Wilkins PX8 S2 for various listening sessions for nearly two weeks for this review, I'm mightily impressed. While the second-gen version brings a savvy redesign – including exposed cabling, a nod to 2010's PX5 – it also tweaks the sonic delivery with various new internal upgrades.
