Bowers & Wilkins Pi8 - The New King of Wireless Earbuds!

The Art of Choosing Earbuds: A Review of Mastering Dynamics and Audio Technics

When it comes to choosing earbuds, there are numerous options available in the market, each with its unique features and benefits. Two popular brands that have caught my attention recently are Mastering Dynamics and Audio Technics. In this article, I will delve into the details of both earbuds, highlighting their key features, pros, and cons.

Firstly, let's take a look at the design of these earbuds. The Mastering Dynamics earbuds come with three different styles: stem-style short stem, standard, and long stem. Similarly, Audio Technics offers two styles: stem-style short stem and this style. While both brands offer varying designs, I must say that the decision ultimately comes down to personal preference. As for me, I prefer a certain look, but ultimately, you can't go wrong with either option.

Now, let's talk about active noise cancellation (ANC). This feature is available in both earbuds, and it's one of the reasons why they're worth the investment. ANC helps to reduce ambient noise, allowing you to focus on your music or podcast without distractions. I've used both Mastering Dynamics and Audio Technics earbuds, and I can confidently say that they both offer excellent ANC performance.

However, when it comes to sound quality, both brands have their strengths and weaknesses. If you prioritize sound quality over convenience, then the Audio Technics earbuds are the way to go. On the other hand, if you're looking for a more affordable option with decent sound quality, then Mastering Dynamics might be the better choice.

In terms of price, Mastering Dynamics earbuds come in at $448, while Audio Technics offer similar products in the same range. While it's true that these earbuds are on the pricier side, I firmly believe that they're worth every penny. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that they're a game-changer when it comes to sound quality.

To put my claims into perspective, let me ask you: have you ever listened to a pair of earbuds and thought, "These aren't loud enough for me"? Or perhaps you've tried multiple pairs before settling on one because none of them seemed quite right? If so, then I challenge you to try the Audio Technics earbuds. They're not just loud; they're also incredibly detailed and nuanced.

Of course, there's no denying that these earbuds are an investment. But trust me when I say that they're worth it. As someone who's spent countless hours listening to music through various earbuds, I can confidently say that the Audio Technics earbuds offer a level of sound quality that's hard to match.

In fact, I was so impressed with these earbuds that I decided to retire my old pair and upgrade to the Audio Technics PX8. On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd rate these earbuds a quadruple major (4x), which is the highest rating I've ever given on my channel.

Now, I know what you're thinking: "But Flossy, are these earbuds worth $448?" And my answer is unequivocally yes. While it's true that this price point may seem steep to some, I believe that the Audio Technics earbuds offer a level of sound quality that's well worth the investment.

So, if you're in the market for new earbuds and are considering either Mastering Dynamics or Audio Technics, I highly recommend taking the plunge. Trust me when I say that you won't regret it.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enyo what's up everybody it's your boy floss back again with another video and today we're going to take a look at the bows and Wilkins pi8 now you can pick these up online I'll throw the link up in the description the price on these 400 bucks now let me start by saying this I said it before and I'm going to say it again in 2024 you don't have to spend 400 bucks for Quality earbuds now I know some of Y going to say oh 400 bucks that price is too goddamn hot but here's what you got to remember on my Channel I try to review products for everybody now if you just want some cheap airbuds to go to the gym go to the beach maybe for your commute back and forth to work you don't care if you lose them or not I did earbuds like the air funds the sound pets The Sound Cores the jlabs from 20 bucks all the way to 100 bucks now if you're a little bit more serious about your music I can recommend something like the Galaxy buds Pro 3 now these are on sale for 170

work hard you want to play hard you're going to have to pay to play Don't Shoot Me I'm just a messenger okay I don't make the prices I just review the products now yall know I am the Supreme peasant so this hurt my pockets to spend 400 bucks on earbuds but at the end of the day when I'm on that 6 hour flight in that tube height 30,000 ft in the air going 500 mph I want the best music that I can afford and this is it all right so let's go through the specs real quick these come in four different colors you got black blue white and green now these are Bluetooth version 5.4 the cordex is SBC AAC and apx lossless so that's true 24-bit audio connection now these feature multipoint connection that means you comp pair two devices at the same time now these are ip54 swe and water resistant now these have a cool feature it's called wireless audio retransmission what does that mean say you're on a flight instead of using wired airbuds you can plug the case into the aircraft and transmit the music from the case to your ears so you can use your wireless earbuds on the flight if you go to the gym and you have to connect earbuds or headphones you know into the treadmill and usually it's a wired connection use the wired connection on the treadmill that is pretty dope basically you can use non-bluetooth devices and still Rock these now you got active noise cancellation and transparency mode you got 12 mm carbon cone drivers you got three mics in each earbud that's going to give you crystal clear phone calls the battery all right this is one of the biggest upgrades the battery now you're getting 6 and 1 half hours with active noise cancellation turned on for a total of 20 hours using the charging case now you also got fast charge 15 minutes of charge will give you 2 hours worth of play time and the case features Wireless charge now you got full touch capacitive controls and you got an app that's available for Android and iOS all right so all that for 400 bucks let's unbox them and see what it is first things first shout out to White Shoes back in the building I love my I love my Sho calm down okay so at the end of this video I'm going to answer a couple important questions number one if you if you got the uh bows and wikins pi7 S2s should you upgrade number two are these worth 400 bucks and number three how do I rank these versus my top five truly Wireless airbuds with active noise cancellation let's do a quick recap all right so number one on my list I'm going with the senisa momentum fors I absolutely love these number two on my list I'm going to go with the B ex after all of these years I still love these number three we're going to go with the bows and Wilkins pi7 S2s okay number four on the list I'm going to go with the dvla Geminis and number five on the list Master Dynamics mw9 now it's kind of a tide with five because I also like the audio technicus now when it comes to active noise cancellation I really only have two choices okay my favorites are the bows and the sonies I never travel without these just in case I sit next to the crying baby and for the gym my favorite gym earbuds the senisa sports stay open you see with the f then after that we got the Audio technicial I mean um the uh techniques we got the Galaxy buds we got everything else but these are my top earbuds right here and let me say this this is just my personal opinion it's just like if somebody says what's my top three favorite cars you got Lamborghini Ferrari Bugatti but I'll take any one of those and it's the same with these these are my top fives but if I got to go somewhere I can close my eyes and take any one of these and be satisfied all right so with that being said bows and Wilkins pi8 now I Got High Hope for these because if you got the p7s you already know what time it is let me show you something let me take it to the website real quick this is kind of what you're paying for okay this is a high-end quality product if you want to come through looking like David Beckham you're going to have to pay to play now what's the difference let me show you here's the difference between the pi7 S2s and the pi 8s okay hold on amay toay I'm about to call it all right the pi8 400 bucks the pi7 S2s these are on sale right now for 200 60 bucks okay now that might be the deal of the day with the Galaxy buds but here's the difference between the p7s and the pi 8s with the p7s you got 9.2 mm Dynamic drivers now you're getting 12 mm carbon cone drivers so bigger drivers now that does that doesn't always mean bigger sound but on paper that looks good with the pi8 you got 32bit DSP versus 24-bit DSP higher Clarity with your music and check this out now with the pi8 you got aptx lossless versus aptx adaptive and of course one of my biggest gripes the battery now you're getting 6.5 hours with active noise cancellation turned on 6.5 hours up from five and up from four with the old ones now for me one of my flights that I nor take is about 5 hours so these should cover me as far as the unboxing experience let's see what we got here did I miss anything Wireless look this is what I was talking about Wireless retransmission that is so dope when you're on that flight you don't need those little cheesy wired earbuds that they give you you can use these now not to mention you can use them on your laptop or non-bluetooth devices okay here we go so far nice looking nice looking uh presentation beautiful white box y'all know I like that KD okay inside pi8 okay now this should be your usual books and let's see scan and get the app okay usual books and pluck them and follow them flick it a wrist this is going to be your earbuds okay now this is going to be check this out this is your retransmission cable now I was worried that they wasn't going to put it in the Box shout out to B Wilkins for putting it in the box where it belongs so now when you get on the flight this is all you got to do you're going to plug the case in like that and plug this right into the airplan all right right into the airplane or your treadmill or your laptop any device that has a 3.5 if it's non blooth plug this in put on your earbuds and the Bluetooth is going to go from the case to your earbuds that is an epic underrated feature now you also get another cable this is going to be your charging cable USB type-c to USB type-c okay decent length on this one and this is going to be your different size ear tips everything very well packaged okay so let's see we got large small extra small so the mediums must be pre-installed let's see how these look okay typical silicone style I'm going to file these in my pocket and get the right fit all right so now for the actual earbud B look at that now I know a lot of y'all when yall seen the Galaxy buds y'all hate the stems y hate the airpod pros no stems okay very discreet looking you got the bows and Wilkins Brandon on them gold tip pins right and left drop them right back in the case all right so let's grab our phone pair these up and we'll start our usual testing Talk Amongst yourselves all right yall so we back in first let's check the for Wireless charge I got the Razor wireless charger I'm going to drop it on the LED lit up lights flashing Wireless charge on Deck all right so now let's take a look at the actual charging case here's the pi 7s here's the pi 8s if you notice the case is a little bit smaller now and I kind of hated this big oval shape now the case looks more sleek and stylish you got your bows and Wilkins logo on the front little LED on the bottom USB type-c charging slot and that's pretty much it now let's check the magnet strength we're going to start with minimum Shak no movement intermediate Shak no movement and maximum Shak no movement at all so that means when you drop the buds they're not going to come popping out of the case all right so here's the actual earbuds now with the sevens they kind of had that big hump that looked like a two-part earbud now with the eight more streamlined Sleek looking design now for the pairing process real simple once you open up the case they'll automatically be in Bluetooth parent mode go to your phone's Bluetooth menu and select the pi8 now unfortunately there's no Google fast paer now these do have multipoint so if you want to pair up another device there's no Bluetooth pairing button just put the airbuds back in the case and simultaneously press each airbud and it'll put it back in paring mode and then connect to the next device now the next you want to do is download the bows and Wilkins app now this app is pretty simple and straightforward it shows you the name of your earbuds you got a picture of your airbuds you got the battery percentage for the airbuds and the charging case now you got your noise cancellation which you can turn off okay I just turned it off okay I just put on pass through all right now the pass through I'm actually using Ambient sound mode right now it sounds good it sounds good but I'm going to keep it honest with y'all it doesn't sound as good as the airpod pros and I would say even the Galaxy buds Pro 3 but these sound pretty good I'm going to do a little bit more testing but I can hear everything perfectly fine I can hear White Shoes purring I can hear my nails on the table and I feel like I don't got to yell so the pass through actually works and active noise cancellation now I got a feeling these are going to have top tier noise cancellation because when I turned on noise cancellation it feel like all of the air just got sucked out of my head okay so I like that next you got your Advanced EQ now no presets on this but you do have a five band EQ with true sound we'll play with that in a minute pair devices okay multipoint connection I'm going to connect another device in a minute okay you got your touch controls okay so you got tap controls and you can customize your press and hold so if you want to you can have voice assistant and active noise cancellation in transparency mode or you can have volume up and down so you got all your controls now you got your wear sensor that's uh wear detection I'm going to turn that off basically what that means is if you're wearing the bus playing music if you take one of the earbuds out it'll pause the music put them back in your music will resume you can rename your product you got factory reset and your product details okay so the app is simple and straightforward and you can also connect all your streaming services all right so now let's talk about the look The fit and the feel now personally I like the mediumsized ear chps I got these in my ears right now and they feel super comfortable and I got to be honest with y'all they fit better than the pi7 S2s I can immedi feel the difference now let's do the headshake test I'm going to start off with minimum shage no movement intermediate Shak no movement maximum Shak no movement at all so these would be perfect for the gym now let me show you how they going to look when you're wearing them here's another thing that I love no stems okay very discreet very Sleek very stylish all right so now let's do a little sound test all right so here's something that I want to mention now these earbuds will work with iPhones and Android phones but if you want to take advantage of the Supreme listening experience you're going to need a phone that supports abtx lossless now I'm using the vi x43 and as you can see apx lossless is in use now you're also going to have to use a high quality streaming service so I'm going to use title for this video all right so I got a classic song queued up we got the outfi Your Love now I'm going to start off with active noise cancellation turned on maximum volume and the EQ is on his stock settings all right here we go Birdman hands rubbing together I got high hopes for these I promise y'all I'm not going to sing but I got my microphone just in case all right so one tap of play pause Let's Get It On J's on a vacation far away come around and talk it over so many things that I want to say you know I like my girls a little bit older I just want to use your love tonight I don't want to lose White Shoes tonight all right let's get it hold up okay ain't got many friends left to talk to no way around when I'm in trouble you know I do anything for shoes day the night but keep it under covers I just want to use your love tonight let's get his shoes I don't want to lose White Shoes tonight all right hold up W yo these sound so good hold up now let me um let's try something let's go to True sound okay they got a little bit more lively let's see okay hold up sorry shoes oh now this is now this is what I'm talking about all right let's get let's get Maxs hold up okay hold up the way I'm feeling repacement oh yo this sound going let's go a little crazy like that oo and let's do 4.5 I don't W to use your tonight okay hold up hold up now let me switch back to the music you see now I told y'all you don't have to spend 400 bucks for Quality earbuds but when you do spend that 400 bucks okay you're going to notice the difference now I'm going to keep it real with y'all these are not the loudest in the world now y'all see I did the uh OnePlus buds the other day those are just super loud like mind-blowingly loud these hold let me check something bro my nipples are like this the clarity in this music the warmth the depth I mean it just sounds so good it sounds so natural I mean it sounds clean that's the word I'm looking for clean okay there's a difference between there's a difference between the sound quality of these and these these is loud got a lot of Base clean all right if you're an audio you know what I'm talking about clean warmth depth crazy now let me see something let's um I got to try you see was already queued up let's take it over to blue laces 2 okay hold up baby it's been okay hold up now the active noise cancellation is crazy the oh oh that second one just dropped hold up let's get it m let they know that that base is rumbling whoa hold up hold up let me see woo let me see something I'm going to go five oh oh this is what I like right here okay hold up okay okay okay let me take these outfits now look sound quality doesn't always mean which airbuds are the most expensive it doesn't just go by the price but it's hard to compare companies like OnePlus okay to companies like Bowers and Wilkins and B and Mas Dynamics companies that don't sell phones they don't sell TVs you know what I'm saying they only focus they only focus on music products and there's a reason why these earbuds shine okay and there's a reason why these was my number three sound quality is very similar but it it's hard to explain and look it's hard for me to it's hard for me to talk about different earbuds because a lot of times people like different music if you don't like rap music or EDM you don't care about okay you want more clarity you want more clarity if you like opera music okay disco music you you really focusing on the highs and the mids the low ends that's not a big deal but if you like hip-hop music R&B music regga music EDM you know that you're looking for clarity and you're looking for that base you got to pay the play okay I am not exaggerating this is not a sponsored video trust me when I tell you okay okay these sound incredible let's do a little bit more testing all right now I just pair these up to an iPhone remember these have multipoint connection so you see pi8 now let's do a quick sound test as you can see lossless music now I never heard these yet we got Tupac Ambitions of a rider maximum volume here we go okay deny it I'm a straight Rider you don't want to run with me got the I won't deny it I'm a straight Rider you don't want to with me oh bro wow wow hold up hold up now I got to see something I got to see something wow they actually sound a little bit louder on the iPhone let me find a different song real quick hold up all right so let me take it over to nipy hustle blue laces 2 on Apple music all right now this is Dolby Atmos let's see hold up okay hold up now we're going to do a quick side by side and see which one sounds better Android or iPhone okay okay okay that base is so deep hold up no let they know that all right hold up okay all right now with this particular song they sound very similar okay so I'm I'm thinking that it's just different songs but just now when I was rocking the Tupac yo that sounded louder all right the Tupac sounded louder let's do one more let's do future um let's see one of my songs from future where where's where's it at where's it at oh this is one amay Amaya put me on to this song fried okay let's let's see all right okay yeah yeah certain songs are louder oh this sounds Crystal Clear yeah Fri yeah yeah yeah I'm fry woo Wednesday this song is hard yeah this sounds great another one do you roll roll roll like a do you got more than two or three phones do you I'm that's I up little okay hold up I forgot I'm shooting a video all right make sure yall go check out this song it it's a Bop all right that's what the young people are saying nowadays this is definitely a Bop okay now I just wanted to do some real life testing because you you remember you you spending 400 bucks on airbuds you want to know are they going to sound good on your iPhone or do you need to go go out and buy an Android phone with abtx I will say the iPhone it sounds great it sounds great but um on the Android phone I I it's hard to describe but the warmth you know I hate using these kind of words like that but the warmth You Feel It In Your Heart Like It Feels So Clean It Feels Like You it feels like you got over theair headphones on almost I mean it's crazy all right anyway all right so now let's test multipoint connection and I want to talk about something else real quick the music streaming services now I noticed when Apple music with title it's not as loud but the clarity is crazy but I just tried YouTube music okay on the Android phone and it sounds crazy loud listen to this I'mma put it right by super loud now we can check multipoint connection that's the Android phone here's the iPhone that's the music right there all right so multipoint connection Works flawlessly and again while W YouTube music okay if you're looking for Pure volume okay you don't really care about that Clarity let me put these back in my ears real quick let me see something real quick now I'm rocking this nle Chopper song bro bro it's it sounds remember when I said I just said the OnePlus earbuds are just super loud now these sound like that and I was when I did the OnePlus video I was using YouTube music so I think YouTube music has more volume okay maybe not as high of a bit rate for streaming and all that but but in terms of just pure volume and base now I can hear the difference with these earbuds and I was getting ready I was getting ready to say these are not the loudest airbuds but it all depends on your streaming service these get super loud wow I'm even more impressed now let's do the reconnection test how long do these take to reconnect to your phone after you take them out and put them in charging case and on a side note yall see I was shinging the White Shoes earlier look at all in love again y okay that's what my voice does right all right so as you can see p8's connected we're going to take these out let's put them in the charging case now we're going to wait for them to completely disconnect okay there it is drop them in the is one Mississippi two Mississippi three Mississippi okay I heard Bing binging and it connected three Mississippi that's excellent all right so now let's do the one earbud test okay you play music from One earbud while the other one is charging up in the case let's find out and on a side note I switched the iPhone over to YouTube music I hit play by accident and got a jump scare okay YouTube music makes these earbuds sound insanely loud I had to turn the volume down look I had to turn the volume down to this low all right I caught a jump scare with Rick James all right let's hit the music all right now I'm going to take out the left earbud let's put it in the case close close it up okay now the music paused but I hit play on the airbud the music is playing okay so I'm going to put the left earbud back in wait for it to reconnect all right there it is now I'm going to take it the right side drop it in the case the music pours I hit play on the left side the music is playing so this is pretty dope you can use either airbud independently basically doubling your battery life all right so now let's check the touch controls and keep in mind the tap and hold feature it's customizable but here's how I got mine set up now single press on the right earbud or the left earbud for play and pause you seen that that'll also answer and end phone calls now double tap either airbud to go to the next track triple tap either airbud to go to the previous track okay and long press the right side for volume up you see it's going up long press the left side for volume down okay it's going down now if I want to I can have the long press activate active noise cancellation in transparency mode or my voice assistant but I rather have volume up and down because I could just say hey Siri hey Siri what's the weather for today let me try that again hey Siri what's the weather for today okay there it is so all of the touch controls work perfectly and let me just give you an idea of how they look okay let's exit out of that you see all you got to do is tap that's a double tap triple tap just like that press and hold there a volume up and on other side press and hold for volume down all of the touch controls work perfectly all right so now let's check the call Quality I'm going to call up a Maya okay px8 let's get maximum volume you're hi girly I'm making a YouTube video you know you know doing my thing doing my thing what you doing okay oh yeah you feeling good now you you you you doing a lot of adulting right now you know what I'm saying I I know I I know I know how that goes I know how that goes bro it ain't going to get any easier all right that's why you I got you I got you all right check this out check this out now I need a noons no BS opinion okay because I I'm testing out some earbuds that cost about a grip okay so the the people want to know the truth all right okay so how do I sound now let me put my in the house voice on how do I sound very clear okay I'm I'm whispering right now you you hear me okay okay now do you hear any wind noise okay I I always got to make sure you on point all right let me turn on the fan all right you hear any wind noise now okay you hear it let me put on hold up now this is maximum windage all shoes back up this is maximum windage this is maximum windage okay but um would you be able to have a conversation with me like this are you impressed okay now these are these are these are not uh Apple earbuds I'm sorry to burst your bubble let me turn let me turn this all right but check this out check this out I got the people on yoube watching how would you rank these how would you rank these on a scale of 1 to 10 and remember this is a no BS number on the scale of 1 to 10 okay you got to take one point off cuz they not Apple okay but let's keep it a buck nine and a half wow you serious now you sound great on my end too okay all right here we go here we go all right all right anyway this is a long ass call I'm going to call you back in a minute I'm sorry I'm I'm sorry okay now I got to keep it a buck with y'all and y'all know Amaya Amaya is Amaya is the number one Apple fan boy of America of America so she said she had to take one point off because they're not Apple it's not an Apple product but she said all jokes aside she said you sound terrific she said n maybe even 9.5 now on my and she sounded Crystal Clear even when I was whispering cuz us usually like I like to talk loud so usually she like yo dad take it down a notch you know what I'm saying but she even when I was whispering she was like wow it sounds perfect so I would say the core quality on knes is great now of course I got to take them outside and do a little bit more testing but right now in the house would I be able to rock these for phone calls absolutely all right so now let's check for latency and what I mean by that is when you're watching a video is there any delay from the person's lips to what you hear now I'm rocking some Netflix little Seinfeld episode okay now I'm looking at the lips literally no delay at all so this will be perfect for watching your videos all right so now let's check transparency mode and active noise cancellation now I promised y'all I wasn't going to do the baby crying test unless I'm doing top tier expensive earbuds which these are so now I got these on we got them in transparency mode now I will say this the transparency mode it works perfectly fine okay it's just not as good as the airpod pros or even the Galaxy buds Pro like it has that Supernatural sound but these it works okay it works if I had to rank the uh transparency mode on a scale of 1 to 10 I'd give these a solid seven okay no issues but now let's talk about active noise cancellation now yall know I got three tiers we got trash tier okay tier and top tier and of course let's see how these work now I'm using our transparency mode right now let's let's try out the baby and I promise I'm not going to kill y'all with this too long but let's try it okay all right so that's the baby crying right there it sounds super loud and annoying now here's how I test out uh active noise cancellation in the house I'm not going to play any music I'm just going to play the baby crying and I'm going to turn on active nose cancellation and see if I hear a difference okay so here's the baby crying let's turn on active noise cancellation okay now you can hear a significant difference that means that active noise cancellation actually works but in order to drawn out the baby we're going to have to get some music so now I'm going to take it back to YouTube music and on the side note like I said YouTube music plays so loud on these uh with these earbuds it's insane let's try this now I'm gonna hit the the baby crying we're gonna play some music at maximum volume and I'm G see if I hear any of the baby okay okay okay let me hit P all right all right now I got to be honest with y'all playing these at max volume I did not hear even a faint I did not hear one inch of the baby now let's push it up a notch I'm going to drop I know this is killing y'all but these is expensive earbuds let's drop the baby up even louder okay this is now we're going to get this is like if you sitting on a flight right next to this little right here let's see okay now this is supreme baby let's play the music one more time okay wow wow wow wow the baby was so loud and scared off shoes I did not hear one sound from the baby not one sound all I hear is my music now I'm going to go outside and test the low end I the baby CME is the high end of active noise cancellation that's the the whiny sounds I got to test the low end okay the lowend I'm going to sit in my car with my loud ass engine but for so far in the house okay so far in the house these they right up there they right up there now I got to test the low end but so far so far these might be right behind the bows and the Sony's as far as some of the best active noise cancellation that I heard yet I'll be right back all right so I just came back from outside doing some thorough testing and I mean thorough testing with the bows the Sony and these and I got to be honest with y'all now it sounds like I'm swinging from bows and Wilkins nuts right now but the active noise cancellation this is top of the top tier and I would actually place these right up in the god tier realm okay now y'all haven't heard me say that since the Bose and the Sony these have god tier active noise cancellation but here's the thing it's not just about the noise cancellation the volume on these okay the volume on these using YouTube music okay now I did some thorough testing I was using Amazon music title Apple music okay Spotify YouTube music YouTube music for some reason makes these almost too loud almost too loud and this this is me this is me saying that almost too loud watch this look y'all hear that you can hear that from all the way over there bro anyway transparency mode could be a little bit better but active noise cancellation is god tier let's go ahead and wrap this video up all right so now let me answer those questions number one are these worth 400 bucks and let me show you something now if you buy these from bows and Wilkins this is what you're is going to look like 448 bucks so are these worth 448 bucks I'm going to say yes without a doubt now remember I'm not saying you have to go out and buy the most expensive earbuds you can find you can buy some OnePlus Buds and they're going to sound great and they're going to do the job but if you're an audio file or you serious about your music and you want the top of the top these are worth the 448 bucks I do not feel like I got gut next question if you got the pi7 S2s should you upgrade I'm going to say yes okay I'm going to say yes I did some testing off camera these are louder they fit better and they sound better now I told Y at the beginning of the video when it comes to driver size that doesn't necessarily mean that something is going to sound better because they have bigger drivers but in this case these sound better okay these sound way better than these now I'm not going to go too dramatic and say oh way way better but they sound a lot better A lot better and my final question okay my final question how would I rank these let's go ahead and drop these in the case how would I rank these matter of fact even before I rank them let me talk about what I don't like there's a few things that I don't like number one the charging case is just like the p7s it's going to stay getting smudged up okay I don't like I don't like the little smudgy they need a new material for the case maybe they need to take a a page out of Sis's book or especially master and Dynamics cases like these this one right here is Def look at this it's all smudged up already so I don't like that number two no Google Fast Pier okay number three no preset eqs okay now you can customize the eqs but I would have liked to have preset eqs and the last thing that I don't like is the fact that um what was I just I was I was getting ready to say something oh the transparency mode the transparency mode for 400 something bucks it should sound better than airpod and it should sound better than than these Believe It or Not these and airpod Pros the transparency mode you can wear these in transparency mode all day long and it's going to feel like you're not even wearing earbuds these are going to know you're wearing earbuds and you're going to know it's a computerized sound you know giving you that transparency mode so I would like to have seen transparency mode I would have like to have seen preset eqs Google Fast paer and a new case but other than that the battery life 6.5 hours with active noise cancellation turned on I love that that's going to cover me for basically any flight that I do I don't really be flying more than 6 hours these days and if I do then I just bring two pair earbuds but my day-to-day flight is 4 and a half to 5 hours now I'm set that was my biggest gripe with the originals okay they wouldn't last my full flight even with these if I get a little turbulence or I got to you know get stuck in the airport a little while these wouldn't last either 5 hours 6.5 hours now let me rank these okay my top five truly Wireless airbuds with active noise cancellation number one on my list ladies and gentlemen we got a new champ okay shout out to Sennheiser but we got a new champ the bows and Wilkins pi8 okay now I took them three iterations uh three let me said it correctly three generations to reach the top 10 when I had the sixes okay they was in my top five the sevens in my top five these These are now my number one truly wiress airbuds with active noise cancellation you getting the god tier a andc but most importantly now later for apx lossless later for title and all of that YouTube music with these earbuds is going to blow your mind now again that's just for me with the rap music but if you like the classical music you like the Beethoven's Greatest Hits and all that yeah then go with the title go with the loss list y y heard my initial reaction when I played the when I played um the title songs it was a little bit lower but the clarity and the warmth and the depth everything was there when I put it on YouTube music it was like a straight punch in the mouth with the music all right these are now my new number ones I can't wait to take my flight next week with these number two on my list I'm going to go with the Sennheiser momentum fours okay number three on my list let's go with the all right number three I'm going to go with the B all what I do with those all right well y I can't seem to find them right now but I had them somewhere oh here it goes all right B ex now these These are still dope all right and this might you could probably find these on sale right now this might be a great time to scoop them I'm waiting for b b let me talk to B for a minute B the ball is in your court okay Bowers and Wilkins came through Sennheiser came through yeah y'all falling off all right the these airbuds is too old now but they still in the top five That's The Testament to how good these are those are number three number four underrated but still appreciated the dvla Geminis with the working app now and the working Bluetooth connectivity and number five on my list all right number five on my list I'm going to go master in Dynamics matter of fact we're going to go number five it's a tag team number five all right because it's so hard I I I was doing so much testing it's so hard for me to pick between the mastering Dynamics okay and the uh audio Technic now for me it all goes down to look with these like which ones do you like look you know which one to you looks better do you want stem style short stem or do you want this style but you can't go wrong with with either one of these all right so these is number five we could just stack them like that number five now when it comes to active noise cancellation I'm this is this this is why these are worth the price because usually I would say oh I'm only going with bows and Sony now you got God teer active noise cancellation and of course you can't go wrong with bow and Sony say you don't really care about sound quality as much ASC if you work at a job you know and there's a jackam out your window or you work at a job and there's people talking all day long and you you know you want to zone out yeah save some money and go with the bows and the Sony but if you care about sound quality andc bro the bows and Wilkins okay and for the gym so far nothing touching the sises after that the Beats fit Pros anyway now I'm retiring these I anybody want to buy these off me um I give you a good price because after using these you'll never use these again if you're a bows and Wilkins fan once you use these you're never using these again anyway these are the bows and Wilkins okay the px8 uh PX pi8 on a scale of 1 to 10 I'm giving these a major major major major go that's a quad major that's the highest ranking on my channel actually the second highest ranking because y'all see when I did the um the diamond box speaker that was a singco de major all right that was five Majors this is a quad major go these right now okay now I know some of y'all on the fence I've been getting a lot of requests to do these earbuds it's a it's a big ask all right it's a big ask because when you go to the website and you go to check out you're going to look at this all you're going to see 448 bucks and you're going to be like is it worth it is it worth it I would put my name and my YouTube reputation on the line and tell you if you spend that 448 bucks you are not going to be disappointed you're not going to use these and then a few minutes later put in your Galaxy Buds and say oh they they pretty much sound the same I could have saved somebody and got the buds bro you are going to notice the difference okay in sound quality trust me you got to pay the play trust me all I don't like saying trust me all the time because everybody got different ears everything sounds different to everybody but there's no way you're going to put these in your ears play this at max volume and say I need more volume because a lot of people would be like oh you know what I got this I got the um I got the the Sony's they not loud enough for me I got the bows they not loud enough for me there's no way you're going to put these in your ears and put on YouTube music and say that these ain't loud enough I I challenge anybody to do that anyway bows and wilin pi8 quad major go hit me up in the comments let me know what y'all think about this and I know this video is kind of long but 448 that's kind of long too shout out to everybody rocking with me on Facebook

and today we're going to take a look at the bows and Wilkins pi8 now you can pick these up online I'll throw the link up in the description the price on these 400 bucks now let me start by saying this I said it before and I'm going to say it again in 2024 you don't have to spend 400 bucks for Quality earbuds now I know some of Y going to say oh 400 bucks that price is too goddamn hot but here's what you got to remember on my Channel I try to review products for everybody now if you just want some cheap airbuds to go to the gym go to the beach maybe for your commute back and forth to work you don't care if you lose them or not I did earbuds like the air funds the sound pets The Sound Cores the jlabs from 20 bucks all the way to 100 bucks now if you're a little bit more serious about your music I can recommend something like the Galaxy buds Pro 3 now these are on sale for 170 bucks probably one of the best deals going to find but if you serious about your music you're an audio file maybe you listen to music all day and night you want to enjoy the fin things in life you work hard you want to play hard you're going to have to pay to play Don't Shoot Me I'm just a messenger okay I don't make the prices I just review the products now yall know I am the Supreme peasant so this hurt my pockets to spend 400 bucks on earbuds but at the end of the day when I'm on that 6 hour flight in that tube height 30,000 ft in the air going 500 mph I want the best music that I can afford and this is it all right so let's go through the specs real quick these come in four different colors you got black blue white and green now these are Bluetooth version 5.4 the cordex is SBC AAC and apx lossless so that's true 24-bit audio connection now these feature multipoint connection that means you comp pair two devices at the same time now these are ip54 swe and water resistant now these have a cool feature it's called wireless audio retransmission what does that mean say you're on a flight instead of using wired airbuds you can plug the case into the aircraft and transmit the music from the case to your ears so you can use your wireless earbuds on the flight if you go to the gym and you have to connect earbuds or headphones you know into the treadmill and usually it's a wired connection use the wired connection on the treadmill that is pretty dope basically you can use non-bluetooth devices and still Rock these now you got active noise cancellation and transparency mode you got 12 mm carbon cone drivers you got three mics in each earbud that's going to give you crystal clear phone calls the battery all right this is one of the biggest upgrades the battery now you're getting 6 and 1 half hours with active noise cancellation turned on for a total of 20 hours using the charging case now you also got fast charge 15 minutes of charge will give you 2 hours worth of play time and the case features Wireless charge now you got full touch capacitive controls and you got an app that's available for Android and iOS all right so all that for 400 bucks let's unbox them and see what it is first things first shout out to White Shoes back in the building I love my I love my Sho calm down okay so at the end of this video I'm going to answer a couple important questions number one if you if you got the uh bows and wikins pi7 S2s should you upgrade number two are these worth 400 bucks and number three how do I rank these versus my top five truly Wireless airbuds with active noise cancellation let's do a quick recap all right so number one on my list I'm going with the senisa momentum fors I absolutely love these number two on my list I'm going to go with the B ex after all of these years I still love these number three we're going to go with the bows and Wilkins pi7 S2s okay number four on the list I'm going to go with the dvla Geminis and number five on the list Master Dynamics mw9 now it's kind of a tide with five because I also like the audio technicus now when it comes to active noise cancellation I really only have two choices okay my favorites are the bows and the sonies I never travel without these just in case I sit next to the crying baby and for the gym my favorite gym earbuds the senisa sports stay open you see with the f then after that we got the Audio technicial I mean um the uh techniques we got the Galaxy buds we got everything else but these are my top earbuds right here and let me say this this is just my personal opinion it's just like if somebody says what's my top three favorite cars you got Lamborghini Ferrari Bugatti but I'll take any one of those and it's the same with these these are my top fives but if I got to go somewhere I can close my eyes and take any one of these and be satisfied all right so with that being said bows and Wilkins pi8 now I Got High Hope for these because if you got the p7s you already know what time it is let me show you something let me take it to the website real quick this is kind of what you're paying for okay this is a high-end quality product if you want to come through looking like David Beckham you're going to have to pay to play now what's the difference let me show you here's the difference between the pi7 S2s and the pi 8s okay hold on amay toay I'm about to call it all right the pi8 400 bucks the pi7 S2s these are on sale right now for 200 60 bucks okay now that might be the deal of the day with the Galaxy buds but here's the difference between the p7s and the pi 8s with the p7s you got 9.2 mm Dynamic drivers now you're getting 12 mm carbon cone drivers so bigger drivers now that does that doesn't always mean bigger sound but on paper that looks good with the pi8 you got 32bit DSP versus 24-bit DSP higher Clarity with your music and check this out now with the pi8 you got aptx lossless versus aptx adaptive and of course one of my biggest gripes the battery now you're getting 6.5 hours with active noise cancellation turned on 6.5 hours up from five and up from four with the old ones now for me one of my flights that I nor take is about 5 hours so these should cover me as far as the unboxing experience let's see what we got here did I miss anything Wireless look this is what I was talking about Wireless retransmission that is so dope when you're on that flight you don't need those little cheesy wired earbuds that they give you you can use these now not to mention you can use them on your laptop or non-bluetooth devices okay here we go so far nice looking nice looking uh presentation beautiful white box y'all know I like that KD okay inside pi8 okay now this should be your usual books and let's see scan and get the app okay usual books and pluck them and follow them flick it a wrist this is going to be your earbuds okay now this is going to be check this out this is your retransmission cable now I was worried that they wasn't going to put it in the Box shout out to B Wilkins for putting it in the box where it belongs so now when you get on the flight this is all you got to do you're going to plug the case in like that and plug this right into the airplan all right right into the airplane or your treadmill or your laptop any device that has a 3.5 if it's non blooth plug this in put on your earbuds and the Bluetooth is going to go from the case to your earbuds that is an epic underrated feature now you also get another cable this is going to be your charging cable USB type-c to USB type-c okay decent length on this one and this is going to be your different size ear tips everything very well packaged okay so let's see we got large small extra small so the mediums must be pre-installed let's see how these look okay typical silicone style I'm going to file these in my pocket and get the right fit all right so now for the actual earbud B look at that now I know a lot of y'all when yall seen the Galaxy buds y'all hate the stems y hate the airpod pros no stems okay very discreet looking you got the bows and Wilkins Brandon on them gold tip pins right and left drop them right back in the case all right so let's grab our phone pair these up and we'll start our usual testing Talk Amongst yourselves all right yall so we back in first let's check the for Wireless charge I got the Razor wireless charger I'm going to drop it on the LED lit up lights flashing Wireless charge on Deck all right so now let's take a look at the actual charging case here's the pi 7s here's the pi 8s if you notice the case is a little bit smaller now and I kind of hated this big oval shape now the case looks more sleek and stylish you got your bows and Wilkins logo on the front little LED on the bottom USB type-c charging slot and that's pretty much it now let's check the magnet strength we're going to start with minimum Shak no movement intermediate Shak no movement and maximum Shak no movement at all so that means when you drop the buds they're not going to come popping out of the case all right so here's the actual earbuds now with the sevens they kind of had that big hump that looked like a two-part earbud now with the eight more streamlined Sleek looking design now for the pairing process real simple once you open up the case they'll automatically be in Bluetooth parent mode go to your phone's Bluetooth menu and select the pi8 now unfortunately there's no Google fast paer now these do have multipoint so if you want to pair up another device there's no Bluetooth pairing button just put the airbuds back in the case and simultaneously press each airbud and it'll put it back in paring mode and then connect to the next device now the next you want to do is download the bows and Wilkins app now this app is pretty simple and straightforward it shows you the name of your earbuds you got a picture of your airbuds you got the battery percentage for the airbuds and the charging case now you got your noise cancellation which you can turn off okay I just turned it off okay I just put on pass through all right now the pass through I'm actually using Ambient sound mode right now it sounds good it sounds good but I'm going to keep it honest with y'all it doesn't sound as good as the airpod pros and I would say even the Galaxy buds Pro 3 but these sound pretty good I'm going to do a little bit more testing but I can hear everything perfectly fine I can hear White Shoes purring I can hear my nails on the table and I feel like I don't got to yell so the pass through actually works and active noise cancellation now I got a feeling these are going to have top tier noise cancellation because when I turned on noise cancellation it feel like all of the air just got sucked out of my head okay so I like that next you got your Advanced EQ now no presets on this but you do have a five band EQ with true sound we'll play with that in a minute pair devices okay multipoint connection I'm going to connect another device in a minute okay you got your touch controls okay so you got tap controls and you can customize your press and hold so if you want to you can have voice assistant and active noise cancellation in transparency mode or you can have volume up and down so you got all your controls now you got your wear sensor that's uh wear detection I'm going to turn that off basically what that means is if you're wearing the bus playing music if you take one of the earbuds out it'll pause the music put them back in your music will resume you can rename your product you got factory reset and your product details okay so the app is simple and straightforward and you can also connect all your streaming services all right so now let's talk about the look The fit and the feel now personally I like the mediumsized ear chps I got these in my ears right now and they feel super comfortable and I got to be honest with y'all they fit better than the pi7 S2s I can immedi feel the difference now let's do the headshake test I'm going to start off with minimum shage no movement intermediate Shak no movement maximum Shak no movement at all so these would be perfect for the gym now let me show you how they going to look when you're wearing them here's another thing that I love no stems okay very discreet very Sleek very stylish all right so now let's do a little sound test all right so here's something that I want to mention now these earbuds will work with iPhones and Android phones but if you want to take advantage of the Supreme listening experience you're going to need a phone that supports abtx lossless now I'm using the vi x43 and as you can see apx lossless is in use now you're also going to have to use a high quality streaming service so I'm going to use title for this video all right so I got a classic song queued up we got the outfi Your Love now I'm going to start off with active noise cancellation turned on maximum volume and the EQ is on his stock settings all right here we go Birdman hands rubbing together I got high hopes for these I promise y'all I'm not going to sing but I got my microphone just in case all right so one tap of play pause Let's Get It On J's on a vacation far away come around and talk it over so many things that I want to say you know I like my girls a little bit older I just want to use your love tonight I don't want to lose White Shoes tonight all right let's get it hold up okay ain't got many friends left to talk to no way around when I'm in trouble you know I do anything for shoes day the night but keep it under covers I just want to use your love tonight let's get his shoes I don't want to lose White Shoes tonight all right hold up W yo these sound so good hold up now let me um let's try something let's go to True sound okay they got a little bit more lively let's see okay hold up sorry shoes oh now this is now this is what I'm talking about all right let's get let's get Maxs hold up okay hold up the way I'm feeling repacement oh yo this sound going let's go a little crazy like that oo and let's do 4.5 I don't W to use your tonight okay hold up hold up now let me switch back to the music you see now I told y'all you don't have to spend 400 bucks for Quality earbuds but when you do spend that 400 bucks okay you're going to notice the difference now I'm going to keep it real with y'all these are not the loudest in the world now y'all see I did the uh OnePlus buds the other day those are just super loud like mind-blowingly loud these hold let me check something bro my nipples are like this the clarity in this music the warmth the depth I mean it just sounds so good it sounds so natural I mean it sounds clean that's the word I'm looking for clean okay there's a difference between there's a difference between the sound quality of these and these these is loud got a lot of Base clean all right if you're an audio you know what I'm talking about clean warmth depth crazy now let me see something let's um I got to try you see was already queued up let's take it over to blue laces 2 okay hold up baby it's been okay hold up now the active noise cancellation is crazy the oh oh that second one just dropped hold up let's get it m let they know that that base is rumbling whoa hold up hold up let me see woo let me see something I'm going to go five oh oh this is what I like right here okay hold up okay okay okay let me take these outfits now look sound quality doesn't always mean which airbuds are the most expensive it doesn't just go by the price but it's hard to compare companies like OnePlus okay to companies like Bowers and Wilkins and B and Mas Dynamics companies that don't sell phones they don't sell TVs you know what I'm saying they only focus they only focus on music products and there's a reason why these earbuds shine okay and there's a reason why these was my number three sound quality is very similar but it it's hard to explain and look it's hard for me to it's hard for me to talk about different earbuds because a lot of times people like different music if you don't like rap music or EDM you don't care about okay you want more clarity you want more clarity if you like opera music okay disco music you you really focusing on the highs and the mids the low ends that's not a big deal but if you like hip-hop music R&B music regga music EDM you know that you're looking for clarity and you're looking for that base you got to pay the play okay I am not exaggerating this is not a sponsored video trust me when I tell you okay okay these sound incredible let's do a little bit more testing all right now I just pair these up to an iPhone remember these have multipoint connection so you see pi8 now let's do a quick sound test as you can see lossless music now I never heard these yet we got Tupac Ambitions of a rider maximum volume here we go okay deny it I'm a straight Rider you don't want to run with me got the I won't deny it I'm a straight Rider you don't want to with me oh bro wow wow hold up hold up now I got to see something I got to see something wow they actually sound a little bit louder on the iPhone let me find a different song real quick hold up all right so let me take it over to nipy hustle blue laces 2 on Apple music all right now this is Dolby Atmos let's see hold up okay hold up now we're going to do a quick side by side and see which one sounds better Android or iPhone okay okay okay that base is so deep hold up no let they know that all right hold up okay all right now with this particular song they sound very similar okay so I'm I'm thinking that it's just different songs but just now when I was rocking the Tupac yo that sounded louder all right the Tupac sounded louder let's do one more let's do future um let's see one of my songs from future where where's where's it at where's it at oh this is one amay Amaya put me on to this song fried okay let's let's see all right okay yeah yeah certain songs are louder oh this sounds Crystal Clear yeah Fri yeah yeah yeah I'm fry woo Wednesday this song is hard yeah this sounds great another one do you roll roll roll like a do you got more than two or three phones do you I'm that's I up little okay hold up I forgot I'm shooting a video all right make sure yall go check out this song it it's a Bop all right that's what the young people are saying nowadays this is definitely a Bop okay now I just wanted to do some real life testing because you you remember you you spending 400 bucks on airbuds you want to know are they going to sound good on your iPhone or do you need to go go out and buy an Android phone with abtx I will say the iPhone it sounds great it sounds great but um on the Android phone I I it's hard to describe but the warmth you know I hate using these kind of words like that but the warmth You Feel It In Your Heart Like It Feels So Clean It Feels Like You it feels like you got over theair headphones on almost I mean it's crazy all right anyway all right so now let's test multipoint connection and I want to talk about something else real quick the music streaming services now I noticed when Apple music with title it's not as loud but the clarity is crazy but I just tried YouTube music okay on the Android phone and it sounds crazy loud listen to this I'mma put it right by super loud now we can check multipoint connection that's the Android phone here's the iPhone that's the music right there all right so multipoint connection Works flawlessly and again while W YouTube music okay if you're looking for Pure volume okay you don't really care about that Clarity let me put these back in my ears real quick let me see something real quick now I'm rocking this nle Chopper song bro bro it's it sounds remember when I said I just said the OnePlus earbuds are just super loud now these sound like that and I was when I did the OnePlus video I was using YouTube music so I think YouTube music has more volume okay maybe not as high of a bit rate for streaming and all that but but in terms of just pure volume and base now I can hear the difference with these earbuds and I was getting ready I was getting ready to say these are not the loudest airbuds but it all depends on your streaming service these get super loud wow I'm even more impressed now let's do the reconnection test how long do these take to reconnect to your phone after you take them out and put them in charging case and on a side note yall see I was shinging the White Shoes earlier look at all in love again y okay that's what my voice does right all right so as you can see p8's connected we're going to take these out let's put them in the charging case now we're going to wait for them to completely disconnect okay there it is drop them in the is one Mississippi two Mississippi three Mississippi okay I heard Bing binging and it connected three Mississippi that's excellent all right so now let's do the one earbud test okay you play music from One earbud while the other one is charging up in the case let's find out and on a side note I switched the iPhone over to YouTube music I hit play by accident and got a jump scare okay YouTube music makes these earbuds sound insanely loud I had to turn the volume down look I had to turn the volume down to this low all right I caught a jump scare with Rick James all right let's hit the music all right now I'm going to take out the left earbud let's put it in the case close close it up okay now the music paused but I hit play on the airbud the music is playing okay so I'm going to put the left earbud back in wait for it to reconnect all right there it is now I'm going to take it the right side drop it in the case the music pours I hit play on the left side the music is playing so this is pretty dope you can use either airbud independently basically doubling your battery life all right so now let's check the touch controls and keep in mind the tap and hold feature it's customizable but here's how I got mine set up now single press on the right earbud or the left earbud for play and pause you seen that that'll also answer and end phone calls now double tap either airbud to go to the next track triple tap either airbud to go to the previous track okay and long press the right side for volume up you see it's going up long press the left side for volume down okay it's going down now if I want to I can have the long press activate active noise cancellation in transparency mode or my voice assistant but I rather have volume up and down because I could just say hey Siri hey Siri what's the weather for today let me try that again hey Siri what's the weather for today okay there it is so all of the touch controls work perfectly and let me just give you an idea of how they look okay let's exit out of that you see all you got to do is tap that's a double tap triple tap just like that press and hold there a volume up and on other side press and hold for volume down all of the touch controls work perfectly all right so now let's check the call Quality I'm going to call up a Maya okay px8 let's get maximum volume you're hi girly I'm making a YouTube video you know you know doing my thing doing my thing what you doing okay oh yeah you feeling good now you you you you doing a lot of adulting right now you know what I'm saying I I know I I know I know how that goes I know how that goes bro it ain't going to get any easier all right that's why you I got you I got you all right check this out check this out now I need a noons no BS opinion okay because I I'm testing out some earbuds that

buck nine and a half wow you serious now you sound great on my end too okay all right here we go here we go all right all right anyway this is a long ass call I'm going to call you back in a minute I'm sorry I'm I'm sorry okay now I got to keep it a buck with y'all and y'all know Amaya Amaya is Amaya is the number one Apple fan boy of America of America so she said she had to take one point off because they're not Apple it's not an Apple product but she said all jokes aside she said you sound terrific she said n maybe even 9.5 now on my and she sounded Crystal Clear even when I was whispering cuz us usually like I like to talk loud so usually she like yo dad take it down a notch you know what I'm saying but she even when I was whispering she was like wow it sounds perfect so I would say the core quality on knes is great now of course I got to take them outside and do a little bit more testing but right now in the house would I be able to rock these for phone calls absolutely all right so now let's check for latency and what I mean by that is when you're watching a video is there any delay from the person's lips to what you hear now I'm rocking some Netflix little Seinfeld episode okay now I'm looking at the lips literally no delay at all so this will be perfect for watching your videos all right so now let's check transparency mode and active noise cancellation now I promised y'all I wasn't going to do the baby crying test unless I'm doing top tier expensive earbuds which these are so now I got these on we got them in transparency mode now I will say this the transparency mode it works perfectly fine okay it's just not as good as the airpod pros or even the Galaxy buds Pro like it has that Supernatural sound but these it works okay it works if I had to rank the uh transparency mode on a scale of 1 to 10 I'd give these a solid seven okay no issues but now let's talk about active noise cancellation now yall know I got three tiers we got trash tier okay tier and top tier and of course let's see how these work now I'm using our transparency mode right now let's let's try out the baby and I promise I'm not going to kill y'all with this too long but let's try it okay all right so that's the baby crying right there it sounds super loud and annoying now here's how I test out uh active noise cancellation in the house I'm not going to play any music I'm just going to play the baby crying and I'm going to turn on active nose cancellation and see if I hear a difference okay so here's the baby crying let's turn on active noise cancellation okay now you can hear a significant difference that means that active noise cancellation actually works but in order to drawn out the baby we're going to have to get some music so now I'm going to take it back to YouTube music and on the side note like I said YouTube music plays so loud on these uh with these earbuds it's insane let's try this now I'm gonna hit the the baby crying we're gonna play some music at maximum volume and I'm G see if I hear any of the baby okay okay okay let me hit P all right all right now I got to be honest with y'all playing these at max volume I did not hear even a faint I did not hear one inch of the baby now let's push it up a notch I'm going to drop I know this is killing y'all but these is expensive earbuds let's drop the baby up even louder okay this is now we're going to get this is like if you sitting on a flight right next to this little right here let's see okay now this is supreme baby let's play the music one more time okay wow wow wow wow the baby was so loud and scared off shoes I did not hear one sound from the baby not one sound all I hear is my music now I'm going to go outside and test the low end I the baby CME is the high end of active noise cancellation that's the the whiny sounds I got to test the low end okay the lowend I'm going to sit in my car with my loud ass engine but for so far in the house okay so far in the house these they right up there they right up there now I got to test the low end but so far so far these might be right behind the bows and the Sony's as far as some of the best active noise cancellation that I heard yet I'll be right back all right so I just came back from outside doing some thorough testing and I mean thorough testing with the bows the Sony and these and I got to be honest with y'all now it sounds like I'm swinging from bows and Wilkins nuts right now but the active noise cancellation this is top of the top tier and I would actually place these right up in the god tier realm okay now y'all haven't heard me say that since the Bose and the Sony these have god tier active noise cancellation but here's the thing it's not just about the noise cancellation the volume on these okay the volume on these using YouTube music okay now I did some thorough testing I was using Amazon music title Apple music okay Spotify YouTube music YouTube music for some reason makes these almost too loud almost too loud and this this is me this is me saying that almost too loud watch this look y'all hear that you can hear that from all the way over there bro anyway transparency mode could be a little bit better but active noise cancellation is god tier let's go ahead and wrap this video up all right so now let me answer those questions number one are these worth 400 bucks and let me show you something now if you buy these from bows and Wilkins this is what you're is going to look like 448 bucks so are these worth 448 bucks I'm going to say yes without a doubt now remember I'm not saying you have to go out and buy the most expensive earbuds you can find you can buy some OnePlus Buds and they're going to sound great and they're going to do the job but if you're an audio file or you serious about your music and you want the top of the top these are worth the 448 bucks I do not feel like I got gut next question if you got the pi7 S2s should you upgrade I'm going to say yes okay I'm going to say yes I did some testing off camera these are louder they fit better and they sound better now I told Y at the beginning of the video when it comes to driver size that doesn't necessarily mean that something is going to sound better because they have bigger drivers but in this case these sound better okay these sound way better than these now I'm not going to go too dramatic and say oh way way better but they sound a lot better A lot better and my final question okay my final question how would I rank these let's go ahead and drop these in the case how would I rank these matter of fact even before I rank them let me talk about what I don't like there's a few things that I don't like number one the charging case is just like the p7s it's going to stay getting smudged up okay I don't like I don't like the little smudgy they need a new material for the case maybe they need to take a a page out of Sis's book or especially master and Dynamics cases like these this one right here is Def look at this it's all smudged up already so I don't like that number two no Google Fast Pier okay number three no preset eqs okay now you can customize the eqs but I would have liked to have preset eqs and the last thing that I don't like is the fact that um what was I just I was I was getting ready to say something oh the transparency mode the transparency mode for 400 something bucks it should sound better than airpod and it should sound better than than these Believe It or Not these and airpod Pros the transparency mode you can wear these in transparency mode all day long and it's going to feel like you're not even wearing earbuds these are going to know you're wearing earbuds and you're going to know it's a computerized sound you know giving you that transparency mode so I would like to have seen transparency mode I would have like to have seen preset eqs Google Fast paer and a new case but other than that the battery life 6.5 hours with active noise cancellation turned on I love that that's going to cover me for basically any flight that I do I don't really be flying more than 6 hours these days and if I do then I just bring two pair earbuds but my day-to-day flight is 4 and a half to 5 hours now I'm set that was my biggest gripe with the originals okay they wouldn't last my full flight even with these if I get a little turbulence or I got to you know get stuck in the airport a little while these wouldn't last either 5 hours 6.5 hours now let me rank these okay my top five truly Wireless airbuds with active noise cancellation number one on my list ladies and gentlemen we got a new champ okay shout out to Sennheiser but we got a new champ the bows and Wilkins pi8 okay now I took them three iterations uh three let me said it correctly three generations to reach the top 10 when I had the sixes okay they was in my top five the sevens in my top five these These are now my number one truly wiress airbuds with active noise cancellation you getting the god tier a andc but most importantly now later for apx lossless later for title and all of that YouTube music with these earbuds is going to blow your mind now again that's just for me with the rap music but if you like the classical music you like the Beethoven's Greatest Hits and all that yeah then go with the title go with the loss list y y heard my initial reaction when I played the when I played um the title songs it was a little bit lower but the clarity and the warmth and the depth everything was there when I put it on YouTube music it was like a straight punch in the mouth with the music all right these are now my new number ones I can't wait to take my flight next week with these number two on my list I'm going to go with the Sennheiser momentum fours okay number three on my list let's go with the all right number three I'm going to go with the B all what I do with those all right well y I can't seem to find them right now but I had them somewhere oh here it goes all right B ex now these These are still dope all right and this might you could probably find these on sale right now this might be a great time to scoop them I'm waiting for b b let me talk to B for a minute B the ball is in your court okay Bowers and Wilkins came through Sennheiser came through yeah y'all falling off all right the these airbuds is too old now but they still in the top five That's The Testament to how good these are those are number three number four underrated but still appreciated the dvla Geminis with the working app now and the working Bluetooth connectivity and number five on my list all right number five on my list I'm going to go master in Dynamics matter of fact we're going to go number five it's a tag team number five all right because it's so hard I I I was doing so much testing it's so hard for me to pick between the mastering Dynamics okay and the uh audio Technic now for me it all goes down to look with these like which ones do you like look you know which one to you looks better do you want stem style short stem or do you want this style but you can't go wrong with with either one of these all right so these is number five we could just stack them like that number five now when it comes to active noise cancellation I'm this is this this is why these are worth the price because usually I would say oh I'm only going with bows and Sony now you got God teer active noise cancellation and of course you can't go wrong with bow and Sony say you don't really care about sound quality as much ASC if you work at a job you know and there's a jackam out your window or you work at a job and there's people talking all day long and you you know you want to zone out yeah save some money and go with the bows and the Sony but if you care about sound quality andc bro the bows and Wilkins okay and for the gym so far nothing touching the sises after that the Beats fit Pros anyway now I'm retiring these I anybody want to buy these off me um I give you a good price because after using these you'll never use these again if you're a bows and Wilkins fan once you use these you're never using these again anyway these are the bows and Wilkins okay the px8 uh PX pi8 on a scale of 1 to 10 I'm giving these a major major major major go that's a quad major that's the highest ranking on my channel actually the second highest ranking because y'all see when I did the um the diamond box speaker that was a singco de major all right that was five Majors this is a quad major go these right now okay now I know some of y'all on the fence I've been getting a lot of requests to do these earbuds it's a it's a big ask all right it's a big ask because when you go to the website and you go to check out you're going to look at this all you're going to see 448 bucks and you're going to be like is it worth it is it worth it I would put my name and my YouTube reputation on the line and tell you if you spend that 448 bucks you are not going to be disappointed you're not going to use these and then a few minutes later put in your Galaxy Buds and say oh they they pretty much sound the same I could have saved somebody and got the buds bro you are going to notice the difference okay in sound quality trust me you got to pay the play trust me all I don't like saying trust me all the time because everybody got different ears everything sounds different to everybody but there's no way you're going to put these in your ears play this at max volume and say I need more volume because a lot of people would be like oh you know what I got this I got the um I got the the Sony's they not loud enough for me I got the bows they not loud enough for me there's no way you're going to put these in your ears and put on YouTube music and say that these ain't loud enough I I challenge anybody to do that anyway bows and wilin pi8 quad major go hit me up in the comments let me know what y'all think
