There’s nothing quite like the excitement of snagging a high-end gadget at an unbeatable price, and the Bowers & Wilkins Px8 headphones are one of those rare finds. These premium wireless over-ear headphones, usually priced at $699, are still available at a post-Prime Day discount for just $428.58 on Amazon. That’s nearly 40% off, an absolute steal for anyone looking for top-tier audio gear.

Our colleague Brian Kahn reviewed Bowers & Wilkins Px8 last year and wrote: "The Bowers & Wilkins Px8 headphones raise the bar on premium, noise-canceling headphones both in build and sound quality. Throughout many listening sessions, they provided a full and warm sound while still clearly reproducing details that were smeared or lost in lesser headphones."

Now, let me tell you why I think this deal is worth jumping on—especially if you’re serious about sound quality and comfort.

I’ve tried my fair share of headphones, and when it comes to audio performance, the Bowers & Wilkins Px8 are in a league of their own. The difference in sound quality is immediately noticeable. It’s not just about loudness or bass (though they’ve got both if that’s your thing), it’s the clarity and depth that really set them apart. Thanks to the redesigned and optimized acoustic system, these headphones offer a level of precision that few can match.

The carbon drive units are a game-changer. I found that listening to music on the Px8 made it feel like I was in the recording studio with the artist, experiencing every note and nuance as if it were live. For audiophiles like myself, that kind of detailed sound is worth every penny—but at this discounted price, it’s even more tempting. Whether you’re into classical, jazz, or hard rock, the Px8s deliver crisp highs and deep lows without losing any clarity in between.

Design-wise, the Px8 is nothing short of luxurious. The Nappa leather covering the earcups and headband isn’t just about looking good—it’s about comfort. I’ve worn plenty of headphones that felt great for the first hour, but after a few hours, the discomfort sets in. Not with these.

The aluminum arms are lightweight, and the earcups have been designed with enough cushion to accommodate different head shapes without feeling tight or awkward. Even after hours of listening, they remain comfortable, which is a huge plus if you’re like me and tend to lose track of time while immersed in music or podcasts.

Now, let’s talk about noise-canceling. Active noise cancellation (ANC) has become a must for me, especially when I’m commuting or working in noisy environments. The Px8 really excels here. They block out a significant amount of background noise, whether it’s the low hum of an airplane engine or the chatter in a café.

The noise-canceling features are adjustable, so you can tweak them to suit your surroundings, which is perfect for those times when you want to reduce noise but still need to be aware of what’s going on around you.

I was especially impressed with how well these headphones handled calls. The two external microphones significantly improved voice clarity, making it easier to carry on conversations even in noisy areas. If you’re someone who frequently takes calls on the go, this feature is a huge bonus.

Another standout feature of the Px8 is the battery life. With a full charge, you get a whopping 30 hours of playback. That’s more than enough to get through long flights, multiple workdays, or a weekend trip without needing to recharge. And even when you’re low on battery, the quick-charge feature comes to the rescue. In just 15 minutes of charging, you get up to 7 hours of playback. For someone like me who often forgets to charge gadgets in advance, this quick charge capability is a lifesaver.

Setting up the Px8 is a breeze. Whether you’re using an iPhone or an Android device, the Bowers & Wilkins Music App makes it simple to adjust EQ settings, switch between noise-canceling modes, and control other functions. I particularly like the multifunction button on the earcup, which allows you to play/pause music, skip tracks, and answer calls without needing to pull out your phone. It’s a small feature, but it adds to the overall convenience of using these headphones.

At $428.58, the Bowers & Wilkins Px8 headphones are a rare find at this price point. Considering their original retail price of $699, this post-Prime Day deal is one of the best discounts I’ve seen on a premium pair of headphones.

If you’ve been on the fence about upgrading your headphones, now is the time to act. Deals like this don’t last long, and once they’re gone, you’ll be hard-pressed to find the Px8 at such a low price again. So, don’t wait—grab your pair now and treat yourself to a superior listening experience.
