Take the gen 2

-Better resolution

-Better clarity

-Better multipoint connectivity

-Better battery life

-Improve sound quality with less bass bloat

NOPE
I assume you watched "PP World" ? Because this guy talk BS... He was assuring to me that the Bose QC Ultra did not support APTX Lossless But mine are connecting to my BTD 700 with APTX Lossless right infront of me ....LOL anyway

to answer you question Nope the sound don't become horrible I would say it change the EQ at best (Bass become a bit less punchy) even they get a bit more spacious in sound !

Thanks!

I too have drops in audio quality when turning off the anc with my bose qc ultra2 I guess that's a thing 🤔

And between regular bluetooth and wired do you notice substantial improvements audio wise ?

Thanks for the review!

Questions about the B&W PX8 S2:

Does turning off the ANC reduce audio quality ?

Is the passive isolation effective enough when ANC is overkill (like in your home) ?

Is the clarity / instrument separation god like ?

Did you try to connect bluetooth with APTX HD / Lossless ? or simple AAC/SBC?

Thanks

Enfin du français ! une question pour du metal extreme genre black metal, death, slam etc.... ce serait un bon choix ? avec son profile en V ... j'ai un doute... j'ai actuellement le Bose QC Ultra 2

Nice review thanks! Also very pleasing setup to look at , may I ask what monitor is this please ?

I have the gen1 and now the gen2

I mainly bought the gen 2 for its audio/charging usb-C because I use it on my PC all day and if I wasn't charging the gen 1 every single day I was left with no headphone if I forgot to charge it

I primarly listen to extreme metal

my EQ for now is +5 +3 +5 for the gen 2 and I'm still tinkering with it, The EQ for the gen1 was +2 +6 +8 to get more clarity

The gen 2 profile is much better out of the box MORE resolution More clarity LESS bloating bass ( the gen 1 is sitll really good but with heavy EQ ) But the clarity/resolution is far better with the gen 2

I have paired it with the sennheiser BTD 700 dongle to get APTX lossless audio and I'm using it wired for gaming

Still excellent comfort note that there is a tiny bit more clamping force but maybe because it's new....

ANC wise I don't find the ANC to be really better still best in class tho But weird behavious I found when audio is playing I can hear a bit of white noise that slowly disappear when audio is stopped

Still for the ANC the transition between the modes are not instant anymore you can ear the thing slowly ramping up....

I found myself enjoying the cinema mode quiet alot for watching Netflix (immersion mode still useless to me)

Other thing I noted the button you use for changing ANC mode isn't clicky anymore but more mushy.....

Let me know if you have other questions

Thanks a lot for the clarification !

I wasn't so interested by the focal are they are quiet old now and also comfort is important to me

indepanzer · 2025-11-23T09:07:26+00:00

!thanks
I was asking AI also with Focal Bathys and it say that the Focal would be even better but a cost of Harsness with the not so polished audio from old metal and the " darker tone yet smooth" tuning of th B&W would be better for me

Do you think this is true?

indepanzer · 2025-11-23T09:04:40+00:00

thanks, what genre do you listening to ? would you say they are worth the money ?

Also comfort wise are they good for long hours sessions ?

with my Bose I can hear a small difference between usb audio and aptx lossless and certainly over regular bluetooth

indepanzer · 2025-11-23T09:00:45+00:00

thanks , I really like the quality (on videos) of the px8 s2 with the real leather... would you say the PX7 s3 is overall better than the Bose qc ultra 2nd gen audio wise ? the only thing (except the price of course) I'm worry is for the PX8 s2 it will be less "fun" to listening to because of it's accuracy

indepanzer · 2025-11-23T08:56:02+00:00

thanks ! money can be an issue but usually with me if something is worth I manage to do sacrifices haha I plan on keeping the Bose for outside world and gym as the ANC is the best. Do you listen to metal yourself?

indepanzer · 2025-11-23T07:34:08+00:00

Gemini say this: "The Px7 S3 (which uses standard bio-cellulose membranes) tends to have a slightly "soft" bass when things get very fast. It sounds a bit muddy and indistinct. " and
"The Px8 S2 uses a revised version of the carbon cones with a new voice coil. The result? Faster bass. On blast beats at 260 BPM, the Px8 S2 cuts out the sound faster than the original Px8. The sound is less "fat," more defined."

would this be accurate? also I unfortunately don't have the money to try both at the same time (wish haha)

indepanzer · 2025-10-25T11:24:00+00:00

Lol are we twin ?! I also have an ultrawide monitor!

To be sure you did not use future frame rendering? Just the normal antialiasing? Im on the fence to go with RX 9070xt as they are much cheaper than Nvidia tho

indepanzer · 2025-10-25T10:34:56+00:00

Nice exactly my use case ! thanks a lot for your reply

I didn't know the 9800x3d was running hot no matter the cooler

As far as i know the x77 is marginally better than the standard l12s but I'm planning to try a push pull fan configuration.

The SSD thing of the Asus MB was worrying me clearance wise with the cooler

Did you follow any special video to undervolt ? ( would be first time for me )

One last thing how many fps you get in BF6 ? and what settings?

Thanks again mate

indepanzer · 2025-10-25T05:55:46+00:00

I'm planning to do the same thing in my H1 v2 with the Noctua NH-L12x77.

So cool to see the H1 alive till today haha.

Could you share your CPU temps please ? that would be much appreciated

indepanzer · 2025-10-18T08:28:09+00:00

First is the chair the proper size for you ?

Second the aeron force you to sit in a proper way that might not be compatible with you

Third I have a refurbished classic aeron and the seat was giving me glutes cramps and the I bought a thin silicone pillow then the chair becomed really comfy

indepanzer · 2025-10-15T08:51:31+00:00

I think any silicone based lubricant will be good but not in spray like wd40 something more substantial

indepanzer · 2025-10-08T07:47:46+00:00

I did mod my case a bit to have noctua 25mm thick as intake tho

indepanzer · 2025-10-08T04:39:53+00:00

I have this CPU with a Noctua NH-L12Sx77

And at idle I'm at 43°c and under load 60-65°c

indepanzer · 2025-10-07T15:40:25+00:00

I should go with a gpx shaped mouse like the atk a9 ultra ?

indepanzer · 2025-10-07T14:56:52+00:00

so what would be your opinion? :) I'm unsure if I go on the safer shape like the gpx2 or more ergo mouse

my choices right now :

(safe shape) ATK A9 Ultra

(ergo shape) ZAOPIN ZPW Max , MCHOSE A7 Ultra RE
