B&W's newest earbuds get a slew of improvements, including better sound quality, battery life, and ANC, plus a long-awaited inclusion of Bluetooth Multipoint.
Bowers & Wilkins has completely revamped its wireless earbuds with a new shape for greater comfort, hi-res and lossless audio, better single-charge battery life, and the ability to connect to two devices simultaneously. Its new flagship, the Pi8, is available starting August 21 for $399, while the midrange Pi6 will follow in early September for $249. Both will be available in a choice of four colors.
Like its predecessors, the Pi7 and Pi7 S2, the Pi8’s charging case can be used to retransmit audio to the earbuds from both analog and digital sources using the included USB-C and 3.5mm cables. The previous models used aptX Low Latency for this wireless audio signal. The Pi8 uses aptX Adaptive’s lossy, 16-bit low-latency mode for analog sources, but when used with USB-C digital sources, it can switch to HD mode with support for up to 24/96.
The adoption of audio technology from the company’s wireless headphones isn’t a coincidence. B&W gave responsibility for developing the Pi6/Pi8 to the same team that created the Px7 S2 and Px8. It carries into the earbuds’ noise cancellation, which has also been ported from the over-ear products.
