Things to consider
They are better suited to premium everyday listening and travel than to gym use or buyers wanting the lightest, most compact headphones.
Noise cancelling effectiveness
8/10 - strong everyday noise reduction supported by eight microphones, well suited to offices, commuting and travel.
All-day comfort score
8/10 - over-ear design and flat-folding earcups make them practical for longer sessions, though they are not aimed at sport use.
Commuter suitability
9/10 - noise cancelling, 30-hour battery life, fast charge and included carry case make them very travel-friendly.
Audiophile vs casual fit
Leans audiophile-friendly while still easy enough for everyday premium listening.
Multi-device flexibility
9/10 - Bluetooth 5.3 with multipoint pairing and supplied wired cables provide strong flexibility across devices and situations.
Key benefits
- Active Noise Cancelling: helps reduce surrounding distractions so you can focus more easily on music, podcasts and calls.
- Eight Microphones: supports clearer voice pickup for calls and more effective noise management in busy environments.
- 30-Hour Battery Life: provides up to 30 hours of playback for multi-day listening between charges.
- Fast Charging: a 15-minute charge gives up to 7 hours of playback when you need a quick top-up.
- Bluetooth 5.3: delivers stable modern wireless connectivity for everyday streaming and paired device use.
- Multipoint Pairing: lets you stay connected to more than one compatible device for easier switching between work and personal listening.
- 40 mm Carbon Drivers: produce detailed, full-range sound aimed at a more immersive listening experience.
- USB-C to 3.5 mm Cable Included: allows wired playback that can help reduce latency for video viewing or in-flight entertainment.
Q: Can these headphones connect to two devices at once?
A: Yes. PX8 S2 supports multipoint pairing, so it can stay connected to two Bluetooth devices at the same time. That makes it easier to move between things like a phone and laptop without re-pairing each time.
Q: Does the included cable work with in-flight entertainment systems?
A: Yes, for systems that use a standard 3.5mm headphone socket. PX8 S2 includes a USB-C to 3.5mm stereo jack cable for wired listening, but aircraft that use a two-pin airline socket will need a separate adaptor.
Q: How fast does a quick charge get the PX8 S2 going?
A: A 15-minute charge gives PX8 S2 7 hours of playback. A full charge is rated for 30 hours playback, so the quick-charge option is useful for travel or commuting when there is not time to recharge fully.
Q: Can you use PX8 S2 wired instead of Bluetooth?
A: Yes. PX8 S2 supports wired playback with the included USB-C to 3.5mm audio cable, which can be useful for lower-latency listening with video or for devices where wireless pairing is not the better fit.
Q: Do the earcups fold down for easier travel storage?
A: Yes. The earcups lie flat, which makes PX8 S2 easier to pack into the included carry case for travel or daily transport. They do not fold inward into a smaller hinge-style shape, so the case still takes some bag space.
Q: How well does PX8 S2 handle calls in noisy places?
A: PX8 S2 uses 8 microphones in total, with 4 in each earcup, to support noise cancelling and voice pickup during calls. It is well suited to everyday calls at home, in the office or while travelling, rather than headset-style use.
