If you’ve been looking for a set of in-ear headphones that combine adaptable noise control with a focus on long-term comfort, the Pi8 is worth a look, as it is at its lowest ever price of $285 (purchase link under the specs table down below).
Bowers & Wilkins positions the Pi8 as its reference true wireless model (TWS), and uses the company’s Carbon Cone drive units, intended to reduce distortion and improve high-frequency detail capture. That’s paired with active noise cancellation (ANC) that should automatically adjust to your surroundings, and three microphones per earbud help maintain call clarity across environments with varying noise levels.
The charging case supports both fast charging and extended listening time, and includes a retransmission feature, meaning you can connect the earbuds directly to an external audio source without relying solely on a phone or tablet. Setup and control are handled through the Bowers & Wilkins Music app, which also enables direct music streaming to the earbuds.
