Headphones — B&W (Bowers & Wilkins) Pi8

The Pi8 is a pair of true wireless earbuds from Bowers & Wilkins, positioned at the top of the brand's true wireless range. Over recent years B&W has built a sizeable range of wireless headphones and earbuds alongside its loudspeakers, and in product tier the Pi8 sits near the Px7 S2 and Px8 S2 over-ear models.

Key specs that matter

Each earpiece weighs 7 g, and the charging case adds 46 g. That makes a light and pocketable set for daily carry, in line with the true wireless category.

Engineering and use context

The Pi8 uses dynamic drivers in a closed design. The sealed in-ear fit isolates the listener from outside noise.

Pairing

As Bluetooth earbuds, the Pi8 need no separate amplifier and connect directly to a phone or computer.

Alternatives

The Pi6 sits below this model in B&W's true wireless range at a more accessible price.
