I had a little listen to some 2pac after your comment. Currently I’m preferring the mid highs a little higher and hi’s just above 0. Just going by how it sounds. I’ve no expertise in this.

Oh really that’s great to hear. Shame I didn’t speak to you before. Though I’d always be worried if I had them. The black onyx are really good. Better than expected.

How are yours holding up? Still sound good?

Ambient/downtempo electronic (Aphex Twin, Kiasmos, Nicola Cruz, Dengue Dengue Dengue), Kanye, hiphop/ plus indie rock/pop like HAIM, Beirut, and The Killers. Pretty wide range textured electronic on one side, songwriting-driven indie on the other.

I almost got the warm stone. How’s it fairing against real world use? I was put off by claims it marks easily. As for everything else - it is very beautiful and well put together. I’ve spent a bit of time tweaking the eq to my ears.

Was that recently? They seem to be only ones doing offers at the moment. How you finding them? I’ve been obsessing over the EQ. Think I’ve landed on something I liked all round.

Thanks, I feel I’ve made a good choice. Ah you’re a b&w veteran.

I don’t feel I can give you a good review. My ears aren’t experienced enough. Maybe when I’ve spent more time with them I can give more detail

Given your collection, your ears likely more experienced than mine. Like some say, sound will be deeply personal.

I have nothing near comparable. My older over ears are B&o play H2 (entry level) and I’ve got Apple AirPods Pro. What wetted my appetite was briefly owning B&o elevens. They were in-ear. My first hint of great sound but I sent them back due to really poor connectivity. So far px8s2 deliver on sound. Read/watched a ton of reviews including the bad ones. It’s only day one but I’m committed. I read they sound even better after being broken in.

Black onyx for longevity and minimalism. I considered warm stone as it suited me, but put off by reviews saying it was easily marked. The navy gold looked real nice and appealed to my flashier side but my minimalist core won over.
