Pi8 are incredibly impressive
Just received my pi8s, coming from mtw4s these feel like a decent step up. I didn't think it was possible for earbuds to sound this good. The px8 s2s are still noticeably better but these come surprisingly close
What impressed me most is just how far b&w have come in the Bluetooth space, I have the px7 s2, px8, px8 s2 and now the pi8s - there's a notable improvement over each generation of the over ears
Interestingly the Retransmission seems to give some mild improvements to sound quality, likely because I'm using a Samsung so limited on codecs, will do some more a/b the see if it's just placebo
Not a huge audiophile but also have the hd660 s2 driven by fiio and some freebuds 4 pro for calls and some old xm3s. Not sure I'd go away from b&w, I was tempted by the gemini 2s but after reading a few warranty horror stories i didn't want to deal with poor service and just stuck with b&w - not disappointed
Really keen to get some 804 d5s at some point in the future to hear what b&w are really capable of
