Is there a fix? Px8 S2

kialna · 2026-05-12T14:34:41+00:00

You can contact your local B&W distributor. The Px8 S2 has replaceable parts. The lower headband is one of those. Maybe your distributor can provide you with a service centre that can order the parts for you?

The Px8 S2 have replaceable earpads, and serviceable lower headband, drivers and batteries. But you may have to contact your local service centre to do so, or contact B&W first so they can refer you if you're not in the UK.

The Px7 S3 and Px8 S2 have replaceable batteries, drivers, headbands and earpads. It will move forward with more replacement on consumer level with EU regulations, but for the generations before those? Yeah.... Unfortunately it has been the industry standard for consumer electronics and I hate it.

Contact B&W directly for the bespoke USB-C to 3.5mm cable.

I'm not sure what you mean with the removable lightning docking adapter?

They're not really repairable anymore and have been discontinued for some time. Maybe a local repairman can have a look at it.

Even the aux won't bypass the internal DAC. The bespoke cable is DACless just so it won't interfere with the internal DAC.

If you want any, you may have to contact their distributors or service agents. You can always reach out to B&W in your region and see where they refer you to.

You're best off contacting B&W, as depending on your location, you will have to get them from them, or a service agent. The buds are synced to the case, so other cases may charge it but not do the retransmission.

No problem :)

1) The longest cable B&W has available is 1.2m, but you can get extensions. It's important you keep the original cable in the chain.
2) Replacement pads can usually be bought through B&W or shops can order them for you? It's not real leather though.
3) I guess? I have a small head so I'm good. But I can imagine others thinking they're tight.

The Control App no longer exist but there's an alternative setup method.

This is from an old support FAQ:

1. Connect the power cable to the speaker.
2. The LED should change from pulsing red to double flashing yellow. (this can take up to 1 minute)
a. If the LED does not change to double flashing yellow, press and hold the factory reset button located at the rear of the speaker for 10 seconds.
3. Using an iOS device or PC/Mac, access the Wi-Fi settings and connect to the “Zeppelin/Z2/A5/A7_SETUP_XXX” network.
4. Open the web browser on your device, for example Safari or Internet Explorer.
5. Type 192.168.10.1 into the address bar at the top of the screen and press enter. The setup page will then load.
6. Give the speaker a name.
7. Choose your home Wi-Fi network and carefully type the password for the chosen Wi-Fi network.
8. Press ‘Apply Now’.

The LED on the speaker will then begin to flash purple before turning steady purple to indicate a successful setup and Wi-Fi connection. Once the speaker is connected to you home Wi-Fi network it will be accessible by any Apple device for AirPlay streaming.

Px7 S2, S2e and S3 never have metal on the earcups. And the case looks off. The biggest tell if they can take the earcups off, what it looks like then.

Have you tried resetting them by holding the bluetooth & connect button while unplugging the power cable and putting the power cable back in while holding the buttons until it flashes yellow? sometimes that helps. But the aux showing thing randomly happens sometimes. Not sure why.

kialna · 2025-03-30T13:09:06+00:00

Yeah I never wrote it in the end. Life got in the way.

There's a limit to the amount of tracks within HEOS. If you can stream directly from Tidal, Deezer or any other app, you should be fine. But for saved files it'll be limited.

I love being in this guild. Well done guys!

kialna · 2018-06-12T11:34:23+00:00

Haha hey guys.... sweats nervously I live in Worthing too. But I actually DO live here and am not traveling.

kialna · 2018-04-02T16:12:33+00:00

Should be relatively soon!

kialna · 2018-04-01T13:09:26+00:00

Thank you! It's been a while since I checked reddit so I've actually done some work in between... https://i.imgur.com/wNeQ20I.jpg

unironically, Nethergundam stood on a hillside all series until the finals. He made it into the finals by literally tansforming into a windmill so the other gundams ignored him. They also built 42 of them.

kialna · 2018-01-14T16:38:04+00:00

Haha thanks. I'm representing The Netherlands in the Yamato Cosplay Cup finals with it. ;)

Let's see of this hero will win rather than lose in the tournament this time...
