Expert reviews and ratings

The Bowers & Wilkins PX8 are the pinnacle of B&W's over-ear headphone offering, and the sound here raises the bar yet again in the world of wireless listening. Where to begin? Probably with the oodles of detail, agility and expanse on offer, all underpinned by a gloriously weighty bass. The effective (if not jaw-dropping) ANC and solid suite of features completes a compelling proposition from B&W. They’re also incredibly good-looking – and the 30-hour battery means they'll last the whole day.

Although Bowers & Wilkins' Px8 headphones offer high-quality audio and occasionally impressive noise cancellation, they don't quite justify their sky-high price.
