The Px8 S2 delivers cutting-edge sound, luxurious design, advanced noise cancellation and all-day comfort, setting a new benchmark in wireless headphones.
Bowers & Wilkins, the renowned British audio brand, is proud to launch its new flagship active noise-cancelling wireless headphone the Px8 S2 at a retail price of RM3,299.
Bowers & Wilkins is trusted by music professionals all over the world to deliver the most detailed, natural, and immersive sound available – the True Sound of the artist’s intent. The brand has a long-established pedigree in producing category-defining headphones, including the multi-award-winning Px7 S3 and the no-holds-barred reference-standard Px8.
Now, Bowers & Wilkins is proud to introduce the new flagship statement in wireless headphones: the Px8 S2. Elevating the brand’s iconic design DNA to new heights in the premium headphone category, the Px8 S2 delivers the ultimate representation of Bowers & Wilkins revered performance, comfort, and style.
The Px8 S2’s evolved design has been engineered for extended comfort, with a slimmer profile than its predecessor and a more compact carry case for easy portability. Every surface is finished to the highest standard: ultra-soft Nappa leather covers the headband and earcups, while lightweight aluminium arms with exposed cable detailing balance strength with refined style. Available in Onyx Black and Warm Stone, both with colour-coordinated detailing, the Px8 S2 is built for lasting pride of ownership, with replaceable ear cushions and headband serviced by Bowers & Wilkins engineers.
“We are incredibly proud to launch the Px8 S2, the best headphone we have ever created. When we introduced the Px8 in 2022, it redefined what was possible in wireless headphone performance. The Px8 S2 sets the benchmark once again, recalibrating expectations for sound quality, design, and craftsmanship. It’s the ultimate expression of our mission: to bring listeners even closer to the artist’s performance – and of course, the beautiful design and finish only adds to that real pride of ownership,” said Giles Pocock, VP of Brand Marketing.
The new reference standard in wireless headphone listening
The Px8 S2 is the best-sounding headphone the brand has ever created. Building on the critically acclaimed, multi-award-winning pedigree of the Px7 S3, the new flagship model takes wireless headphone performance to all-new heights of resolution and insight. Its 40mm Carbon Cone drive units deliver a transformational listening experience by combining exceptionally low distortion and coloration with light weight, ensuring stunning detail, clarity, and effortless dynamics across all content.
These drive units feature a comprehensively redesigned chassis, voice coil, suspension, and magnet, and are carefully angled towards the listener’s ears to ensure a consistent distance from every point across the driver surface for superior imaging and stereo spaciousness. They are powered by a dedicated, discrete headphone amplifier that provides greater scale, energy, and authority to the sound, ensuring every performance feels immersive and true to the artist’s intent.
Completing this high-performance acoustic platform, the Px8 S2 supports aptX™ Adaptive 24/96 and the latest Qualcomm aptX™ Lossless technology, which automatically optimises wireless transmission from compatible devices for the best possible sound quality. High-resolution streaming services such as Amazon Music, Qobuz, and TIDAL can be enjoyed directly through the Bowers & Wilkins Music app, supported by in-house DSP for outstanding 24-bit/96 kHz playback. For even greater versatility, Px8 S2 also includes 3.5mm analogue and USB-C digital connections, with both cables provided in the carry case for flexible listening across computers, mobile devices, and the latest iPhone models.
Block out the world
Bowers & Wilkins engineers are confident that the new active noise-cancelling technologies developed for the Px7 S3 and Px8 S2 are the most powerful and effective the brand has ever developed. As is always the case, the chosen approach carefully balances effective cancellation of unwanted noise while doing no harm to the musicality of the performance – and in this new generation of headphones, the results are simply exceptional.
As with Px7 S3, the new Px8 S2 features eight high-performance microphones, carefully located around the periphery of each ear cup and working together to deliver the best results. Two of them measure the output of each drive unit, four positioned at opposite ends of each earcup to ensure the best possible coverage – monitor ambient noise from the outside world, and two more provide outstanding voice clarity. Careful positioning and angling of those microphones enhances performance even in the noisiest environments. When making calls, unwanted noise is effectively suppressed by the latest generation of voice processing technology, ADI Pure Voice. All eight microphones work in conjunction with the noise-cancelling and voice-processing technologies to ensure outstanding call clarity wherever you are.
Enhanced features
Offering 30 hours of battery life with full noise cancellation engaged, the Px8 S2 delivers all-day listening and more on a single charge, while a 15-minute quick recharge provides up to seven additional hours of playback.
The Px8 S2 can be configured and controlled via the Bowers & Wilkins Music app, which allows users to adjust noise-cancelling transparency, monitor battery levels, set wear-sensor sensitivity, and customise the Quick Action button. An adjustable five-band EQ with preset memory is also available, alongside True Sound mode for the preferred acoustic tuning developed by the Southwater Research Establishment team. Physical controls remain on each earcup, with a revised layout for more intuitive operation of playback, volume and power, plus easy access to noise-cancelling options or a voice assistant.
Future-ready by design, the Px8 S2 will receive a series of over-the-air updates, beginning with support for spatial audio later this year. Bluetooth® LE Audio with Auracast™ broadcast functionality will follow, ensuring the headphones continue to evolve with the latest audio innovations.
The all-new Bowers & Wilkins Px8 S2 will be available in Malaysia starting today at a retail price of RM3,299.
