    Bowers & Wilkins PX Active Noise Cancelling Wireless Headphones, Best-in-class Sound, Soft Gold

    • Instead, they include a cool looking, yet pretty useless, soft bag
    • Nice looking and sounding but just so uncomfortable on my huge skull
    • Bottom line: highly recommended for those that value great design, nice sound, and nice/minimal features, and are looking for a more substantial over-ear wireless set of headphones
    • They really got gorgeous look
    • I liked the look and feel
    • My original 1000X's right arm developed a crack and eventually snapped right off and despite claims online that Sony has addressed the issue with a different type of plastic on the 1000XM2's, the plastic doesn't seem sturdy enough or reinforced enough to support the loads at the joints where the cracking happens (just compare the hinge joints and arms of the Bose Quiet Comfort II's to see what "confidence-inspiring" plastic looks and feels
    • I love the PX's look and premium materials
    • I still LOVE the sound quality and the look and perceived build quality, but if they only play for one second at a time, it's really frustrating.
    • They do have an exceptional look and build quality
    • Heavy headphones and the sound just wasn't what I was looking for--it just wasn't "expansive like the B&O beoplay headphones; although the noise cancelling feature is better than the B&Os, so there's that to consider; however, the sound quality in noise cancelling mode isn't as good as the B&O Beoplays, so that's an issue too.
    • (the B&O are a little too loose
    • I tested them for several weeks with a range of music from contemporary jazz (Gregory Porter, Carmen Lundy), metal (Metallica, Type O Negative), shoegaze (My Bloody Valentine), post-punk (XTC), etc.
