No
Great headphones, very comfortable and definitely great sound.
The sound is clean, sharp
The high price.
Absolutely breathtaking. The sound is so clean, so sharp. Moreover the headphones fit so comfortably that they transport you to a parallel universe. First off all, they sound is unbelievable. My wife has the Sony WH-1000XM5s, and they sound good, but the PX8s are superior in clarity and separation. The B&W PX8s really shine is comfort. I have huge ears that stick out hard, and many over-ear headphones press on my ears and it becomes uncomfortable. The PX8s don't have same problem. They have big earcups, and the speakers at an angle. That creates a deep space in the back that gently hugs even my Dumbo-looking ears. They are undoubtedly expensive, but they are worth buying once in a life time. The fabulous sound and comfort justify the high price.
The design is cool

First of all, these headphones are fantastic. Honestly, I'm a sound engineer/mixer, so my ears can hear the difference between these and less expensive headphones. The differences are mainly in the clarity of the treble without harshness and the clarity of the bass without what I would describe as excessive fatness. Compared to my Sony 7506s, which are a good standard, the soundstage seems wider. I like them a lot compared to my 7506s, which is what I was hoping for. They are more comfortable, more isolated and have a superior soundstage in almost every way. I can hear things clearly and distinctly in them that I could barely make out in the 7506s. The only problem is the metal wire near the earcup that allows you to wrap your ear around it has broken and is sticking out. In conclusion, I am very pleased with these in-ear monitors. They are not cheap, but I am not disappointed with what they provide. If you can afford them, I highly recommend them.
