On paper, there’s little to separate Bowers & Wilkins’ new PX8 headphones from the PX7 S2 model released earlier this year. Battery life is still rated at 30 hours, they still contain six microphones (four for active noise cancellation plus two for calls), and there’s still no dedicated 3.5mm jack.
And yet, the new PX8 costs $699, a whole $300 more than their midrange counterpart. What gives?
Well, B&W argues that “what gives” is its new flagship headphones’ sound quality, thanks…
