What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
The included case is also very nice to use and protects the headphones during travel. The ear pads still stay on but they are easier to take off than they should be.
The music playback quality is very good also. The sound staging as well as the full range are just fantastic. The noise cancelling is next level (like on a prop plane - can't hear anything but my podcast) very nice and quiet between songs, with no nee... Read More
My favourite purchase of 2023. Definitely worth every penny. Plus their noise cancelling is awesome.
Cons
It's shocking that i would pay around $500 for a pair of headphones that has mechanical breakage only 9 months later. No dedicated mic keys for video chats or gaming. Don't lose the chord to the headphones, otherwise the headphones are useless with yo... Read More
Headphone cups do no swivel both ways making them awkward when taking them off around you neck or laying them on the table. Bluetooth connection is worse than the previous generations, as it disconnects frequently. Worst of all, the headband digs in m... Read More

With the discount i got, any concerns i have about build quality may be lessened, and they are a quality set of headphones, but... Read More
Packaging/appearance
I love the packaging and it came pretty fast!
Ordered from amazon "used like new" item came as described with a little bit of "scuffs" on outer packaging.
Competitiveness
Meeting participants reported that my voice clarity is better than the expensive studio mic i was using before.
Anc is customizable too unlike airpod max and it quite impressive.
The bowers and wilkins px-8’s were superior to the 7’s, but the 7’s sat at $499 after being on sale for $100 off, whereas the 8... Read More

But i bought this one with a bittersweet taste in my mouth because the previous model that i bought of this unit which also performed wonderfully suddenly broke down and refused to charge in the month after the warranty expired

I didn’t know this is what caused it but apparently bluetooth saps volume from the headphones so it’s nice to have a bit more ooomph to your listening with these
