Pi8 - Anthracite Black

Previously returned the Pi7 s2 as the fit was unbearable. Main concern with ordering Pi8's were the comfort - can safely say they have fixed it. Amazing sound. They sound best on passthrough or ANC mode (DSP fully engaged). Multipoint connection issues now and then, but not detrimental to the listening experience. Standard ear tips are better than SpinFit Omni: treble too sharp. If you value quality sound, buy them.

Let me preface this review by stating that I am an earbud freak and presently own the B&O Beoplay EX's, Technics AZ80's, Denon Perl Pro's, Sennheiser MTW3's and the Master & Dynamics MW08's and now the Bowers & Wilkins Pi8's. If your priorities are ANC, transparency, call quality or battery life, these are just average in all those categories, but if sound quality is your main goal, these are by far the best earbuds I have ever heard and it's not even a close contest. They are the first earbuds that I didn't need to bother with the EQ in the app as they blew me away right out of the box. The tightest and most natural bass, highs that sparkle, great soundstage and separation but with detail that I have never experienced other than with high end over the ear headphones. They are expensive and not very competitive feature wise, but the sound is in a totally different league than any Bluetooth earbuds in the market today at any price in my opinion. Build quality and comfort are also top of class in typical B&W fashion. The ability to use the case to transmit from a non-bluetooth source is an interesting perk, but mostly for airplane travel I guess

Estoy muy contento con la compra!

EDIT: The technical problems have only gotten worse. Do not buy this product unless you want to constantly have disconnects and tinker with it. The sound quality for music is great, but I will never buy another pair of Bowers and Wilkins earbuds again. They constantly disconnect, the mic quality is horrible, and the noise cancelling is mediocre. Honestly, these are probably the best sounding wireless buds out there currently, but the hassles you have to put with, and the very poor software from B&W is just pitiful. You pay $400+ for earbuds that will constantly disconnect from your device and randomly stop playback on things. It's a shame I'm out of the return window here, I would highly recommend if you want earbuds to just get the Audio Technics equivalent, or Sony.

Sobrevalorados Casi no me los pongo y cuando quiero disfrutar del producto siempre es un problema con el emparejamiento, o de plano solo se escucha un solo audífono. Es muy mal producto para la marca. Yo los compré en febrero 2025 al doble de lo que hoy cuestan (diciembre 2025).
