Bowers & Wilkins Px8
The press heard a balanced luxury flagship; three measurement rigs found a warm, bass-lifted one — and the owners who kept it found a headband that comes unglued.

Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S3
The press hears a near-neutral luxury can; three measurement rigs find a big bass shelf and a treble that moves with every millimetre of fit.

Bowers & Wilkins 607 S3
Small, detailed and spacious — and, for a vocal minority, still a little too bright up top.

Bowers & Wilkins 606 S3
Bigger, airier and better-integrated than the 606s before it — though not everyone has made peace with the treble.

Bowers & Wilkins Px8 S2
The press hears a natural, balanced flagship; every measurement rig sees big bass, a scooped presence band and a spike at 8 kHz — and owners split down exactly that line.
