The Bowers & Wilkins Pi8 brings reference-level sound to wireless earbuds. These luxurious TWS earbuds offer premium sound, high-quality active noise cancellation (ANC), and crystal-clear calls.

Enjoy music with 12 mm carbon cone drivers enhancing high-frequency details with minimal distortion. Bluetooth aptX Lossless enables the transfer of 24-bit/96 kHz music files from compatible sources. Adaptive active noise cancellation provides a peaceful environment for listening and working anywhere.

The earbuds offer continuous battery life of up to 6.5 hours with noise cancellation on. The smart charging case provides an additional 13.5 hours of use. Like the previous generation, the Pi8’s smart case supports Wireless Audio Retransmission, allowing an external audio source to be connected to the charging case and then wirelessly transmitted to the earbuds. This means you can connect the case via cable to, for example, an airplane entertainment system or a music player’s headphone jack and enjoy high-quality wireless audio transmission directly to your earbuds.

What HiFi 08/2024 https://www.whathifi.com/reviews/bowers-and-wilkins-pi8 "Bowers & Wilkins’ approach to their flagship earbuds from a completely new perspective has paid off. The Pi8 is clearly the best wireless earbud model we have heard from the brand, and it truly competes for the top spot in this highly competitive market segment. The earbuds’ wonderfully refined, balanced, and transparent sound offers a deep understanding of music that is rare in wireless in-ear headphones. Quality does come at a price, but in our opinion, it’s a price worth paying.”
