Bowers & Wilkins has been the headphone manufacturer to watch this year. The PX7 S3 now sits atop our list of the best headphones, thanks to some major upgrades that make them a great over-ear alternative to the Sony and Bose options. Now B&W has reset its sights on the AirPods Max, with another version of its range-topping PX8, the imaginatively titled PX8 S2.
There’s a lot to like about the new version of the PX8. They’ve got a more up-to-date slim design, buckets of metal accents and sound that takes just about everyone to school. You’ll be paying through the nose for the privilege of ownership — $799 to be exact — but for the right buyer, they’re going to be more than worth it.
