Bowers & Wilkins Elevates Style with New Px8 S2 Finishes

Bowers & Wilkins continues to refine its premium headphone lineup with the introduction of two new colorways for its flagship wireless over-ear model, the Px8 S2. The latest finishes—Midnight Blue and Pearl Blue—underscore the brand’s commitment to combining high-end audio performance with sophisticated design.

Midnight Blue and Pearl Blue

Announced in Brussels on April 22, 2026, the new variants expand the existing Px8 S2 lineup, which already included Onyx Black, Warm Stone, and the McLaren Edition. With the addition of these two new options, the Px8 S2 is now available in five distinct finishes, each crafted with luxurious Nappa leather and coordinated aluminum detailing.

The move follows recent updates to other models in the company’s wireless range, including the Px7 S3 and Pi8, further strengthening what is now the most extensive color portfolio in the brand’s history. In total, Bowers & Wilkins now offers 21 different color variations across its award-winning in-ear and over-ear headphone categories. This growing diversity reflects a clear design philosophy: premium audio products should look as exceptional as they sound, while offering users greater freedom to match their personal style.

Aesthetic refresh

Despite the aesthetic refresh, the core of the Px8 S2 remains unchanged. The headphones continue to deliver the acclaimed sound quality that has positioned them at the top of the high-end wireless category. The combination of refined acoustics, premium materials, and expanded personalization options ensures the Px8 S2 remains a compelling choice for discerning listeners.

The new Midnight Blue and Pearl Blue versions of the Px8 S2 are available starting today, priced at €729.

Publisher

Marco Lisi is the publisher of Best of High End, part of AV Concepts BV. His path into audio started early: as a teenager he was drawn into the world of free radio, presenting shows and living immersed in music every day. In his early twenties he ran his own production studio for five years, creating jingles and commercials — hands-on training in sound design, pro-audio workflows, and critical listening through studio monitors that still shapes how he evaluates gear today. He also spent years DJing in clubs before moving into publishing, first at two earlier online magazines before founding Best of High End. His hi-fi and home cinema passion was inherited from his father, an inveterate system-swapper. Marco's first setup — a confirmation gift — paired AKAI separates with entry-level Bowers & Wilkins speakers, a brand he stayed loyal to for years as his system grew from stereo into full surround and home cinema. Like many enthusiasts, he went through an extended "audiophile" phase chasing the next upgrade, before settling into a more grounded view: gear as a means to enjoy music and film, not an end in itself. Years of critical listening have given him a well-trained ear — the ability to characterize a system or pinpoint a change in the chain quickly and accurately. Just as important, his teaching background (a Belgian "regent" degree in Dutch language) gives him the tools to translate those listening impressions into clear, readable writing.
