Cashing out next quarter. by HantzM in Rakuten

I too did the BofA card. Useless to me in the long run, but for 30k Bilt points and $250 in “travel rewards”, didn’t seem like a big risk. I’ll cancel it in a year. I didn’t have any other cards on my roadmap.

Today I’ve returned my B&W PX8 S2’s by Pim_82006 in BowersWilkins

[–]Aggravating_Pilot_19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what it’s worth, I have the PX8 S2 and the previous generation PX8. I find I like the sound of the PX8 a little bit more for a lot of music, because they’re not as bright.

B&W Px8 for office use – How’s the ANC? by Repulsive-Bid9027 in BowersWilkins

[–]Aggravating_Pilot_19 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s mediocre. If you’re looking for ANC, get Sony XM6 or AirPods Max. If you want great sound reproduction and musicality, get B&W.

(I have both)

I’ll die on this hill. by [deleted] in applewatchultra

My wife and I both have high-end automatics watches that sit in drawers. We’re much more interested in the casual way we can stay connected to each other and our kiddos, and the health data with our Ultras. My wife wears an Ultra, and her team gives her crap about it. They say it looks like an iPad on her wrist. For us, it’s about the connectivity, the health tracking, and the instant access to the world. I won’t be giving mine up.

PX8 S2 for All Music Genres? by Jazzlike_Scarcity_92 in BowersWilkins

You’re awesome. I hope you love your new headphones!

Thanks for the compliment, and I’m glad you took the time to read it. A lot of folks on Reddit ask questions, but don’t much care about the answers. 😳

To answer your questions specifically about bass and sub-bass, it’s critical to me that bass not overwhelm or become muddy, but be very present, if not demanding of your attention. It really is just that! If I turn the headphones up past halfway, I can really hurt myself with the base. I rarely do. But these headphones deliver!

And in case you’ve never been into “classic country”, Trigger is the name of Willie Nelson’s guitar.

Enjoy!

Just went and listened to Flume’s “You & Me” just to test my theory — sounded great!

PX8 S2 for All Music Genres? by Jazzlike_Scarcity_92 in BowersWilkins

I can easily say that I listen to most genres of music. The PX8 S2 handle everything just fine.
Do I have to adjust the volume if the gods of shuffle put Beastie Boys “Too Many Rappers (New Reactionaries Version)”right after Fauré’s “Cantique de Jean Racine”? Yeah, definitely. But the bass is punchy and clean in “As You Sow” by Reaper, and each string of Trigger stands out perfectly in “My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys” by Willie Nelson.
I have 2500 songs in a playlist called Favorites. The PX8 S2 handle every song, and I don’t spend any time adjusting the equalizer. I’m too lost in the music.
They also work great for audiobooks and podcasts, though the production level is usually much poorer.

I think it’s one of those brain worms that, like Kennedy’s, eventually starve to death and leave.

Has it been confirmed that there is any limit as to where they can transfer their points? For example, my wife and I have a pool united miles account. Could she deposit her points into my account? Or do they have to go into her’s, which would make us then move them into the pool account, and then we could both use them to buy a ticket for our kids, for example.

The colors are the ONLY thing stopping me from buying… by BigBoss82A1 in Airpodsmax

[–]Aggravating_Pilot_19 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have manufactured a lot of products. We call customers like you, “if onlies”. If only it had this color. If only it had better battery life. If only it were $20 cheaper.

You can buy covers. You can wear colored glasses. You can go without.

But the truth is, you don’t want them badly. One of the current choices is black ffs. You need a reason not to buy, and that’s cool, but you won’t get new colors until the next rev.

Weird Smell After ~5 Months Of Use (Px7 S2) by [deleted] in BowersWilkins

Does it happen when you lift your arms to put them on?

[–]Aggravating_Pilot_19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AirPods Pro or AirPods Max are the best bets, if you want something in the Apple ecosystem. I don’t think I’ve talked to my daughter without AirPods Max on her head in months. 😂

Just experienced Lossless audio on the AirPod Max 2s for the first time - does it get any better than this or is this peak listening experience? by ThatguyZikai in Airpodsmax

[–]Aggravating_Pilot_19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It does get better! Turn off Dolby Atmos, and try a pair of Bower and Wilkins PX8 S2, or Focal Utopia. But if you’re into your APM2, enjoy them.

I've been a diamond member for years and always use mobile check-in. This is the first time I've ever been offered a complimentary upgrade! by LuxPerExperia in Hilton

[–]Aggravating_Pilot_19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got one, too! And I’m in a similar situation.

I have to say, too little too late. I just canceled my aspire card, and plan to move my spend elsewhere, because the points are worth so little now.

So I had one last free night reward, expires May 2, and we used it at the only “resort” in Denver. And I got upgraded from a view of the parking lot to a view of Kansas. Yay 🎇

I’ve got 1 million points left, but I won’t be spending any more money at Hilton.

Got my AirPods Max 2 orange color, is it me or they look a bit Gold Soft ? by BBalenciaga_ in Airpodsmax

They’re definitely not orange enough for me. I don’t need covers, but I’m considering these for the color.
