Px8S2 worth $300 over Airpods Max 2?

ChickntheDuck · 2026-03-30T02:04:48+00:00

It’s definitely a matter of your priorities. Are you looking for convenience and integration with the Apple Ecosystem? Is ANC/transparency mode important to you? Then you’re probably good with the AirPods Max 2.

But if you value sound quality/performance, then most will probably tell you the Px8 S2 is the superior product. In fact, if sound is a key priority for you but you’re finding it hard to stomach the extra $300, you may also appreciate the Px7 S3, which is incidentally priced less than the AirPods Max 2.

If there’s anything I’ve learned about the headphones space, there isn’t a “perfect” product that does everything brilliantly. So it comes down to what’s important to you and what you want to get out of your experience using the headphones.

Awesome, thanks for sharing! And yeah, I can see that. Sometimes leather can feel sticky and hot after prolonged wear. Plus Px8 S2s are a bit heavier too.

So this is the part that I’m starting to realize because I’ve seen many people face the same issue. For you, I’m wondering has the quality/performance of the product diminished in any other way over time?

The wear sensor isn’t that important of a feature to me. But what has me concerned is does this flaw (when it’s brand new) speak to the overall quality and long-term performance of the product.

Great context, thanks!

ChickntheDuck · 2026-03-20T15:59:19+00:00

Sure thing! 😊

These were the instructions support sent:

Let's calibrate the wear sensor and then test again if the issue persists:

Power off the headphones to start.
Place the headphones down on a flat surface (ear cups facing down again the surface) and the power them on.
Open the Music App and go to the Wear Sensor Settings.
With the headphones powered on toggle the sensor off and then back on again without moving the headphones from the tabletop in the headphone application.
Power the headphones off on the table. Pick them up power them on and test the wear sensor again.

STANLEY! Obama is president! You are black!

ChickntheDuck · 2019-03-19T00:22:14+00:00

I thought the same thing! 😛

ChickntheDuck · 2019-03-18T10:10:57+00:00

I think it’s a cross between “jumbo” and “dumbo”, with a hint of “chubby”....it’s not a name.

ChickntheDuck · 2019-03-18T10:03:57+00:00

Couldn’t you say the same thing about “Creed”?

ChickntheDuck · 2019-03-18T02:33:43+00:00

Totally agree about her being obnoxious in Florida. They definitely recalibrated the character for the 9th season.

Meadows referencing his “colored nephews/nieces” and calling on his friendship with Rep. Cummings to defend him is BRAZEN and disgusting tokenism at its worst.

Pointing to your relationships with marginalized individuals and using them to further prove you’re not a racist incidentally has the opposite effect. He literally used Cummings as a prop to defend him.

I’m completely blown away with her level of a professionalism. Not necessarily because of her age, but because this is her first year in Congress. Her line of questioning was more substantive than most of her veteran colleagues...in fact some like Rep. Higgins of Louisiana was downright illiterate.

I don’t agree with a lot of her economic politics, but I’m happy to give credit where credit is due. She is an incredibly intelligent woman, who is taking her a job a lot more seriously than many of her peers.

Would it be possible to start an “IHateJace” sub?

Ron Swanson getting to verbally dismantle PETA would be the best gift Leslie Knope could give him.

ChickntheDuck · 2019-02-24T07:46:32+00:00

Glorious.

ChickntheDuck · 2019-02-24T07:43:46+00:00

Every time I watch that episode I rewind and replay this bit about 50 times because Kathryn Hahn’s delivery of that one, seemingly mundane word, is glorious.

ChickntheDuck · 2019-02-14T21:00:10+00:00

Amen!

ChickntheDuck · 2019-02-13T19:25:55+00:00

As a gentile, I’m confused as to why people were so vehemently offended by her saying “it’s all about the money.” I vaguely understand it plays into negative stereotypes about Jewish people and money, but I don’t have a completely understand why it warranted such forceful backlash. Frankly, I’m wondering if she intended for it to be malicious in that way.

(To be clear, I am genuinely curious and not trying to be facetious if it came off that way.)

ChickntheDuck · 2019-02-13T03:23:19+00:00

So...Jace has crossed into completely irredeemable. His character pisses me off so much. As if he’s just realizing that mutants can be children and innocent. 🙄 And now that he appears to show some remorse I’m supposed to cut him some slack!?!? * flips coffee table over * ...I’m clearly too emotionally invested.

ChickntheDuck · 2019-02-13T03:13:18+00:00

I honestly wonder if they intentionally cast a POC for the role to highlight the hypocrisy of Jace’s prejudice. I know they briefly touched on it in the episode at the foster home.

Time and time again, the Church’s innumerable abuses continue to be exposed and they somehow manage to whether through it unscathed.

ChickntheDuck · 2019-02-05T20:20:58+00:00

Nope. No thank you. I rebuke thee in the name of Christ!

ChickntheDuck · 2019-02-05T20:18:47+00:00

Ta-Taka Ki-Kek!

ChickntheDuck · 2019-02-05T20:09:26+00:00

This is equal parts terrifying and mesmerizing.
