Description
Meet the Pi8. The new definition of Excellence
Brought to you by Bowers & Wilkins
The new reference in earbuds. Class-leading audio performance, bespoke ANC and crystal-clear call quality with the comfort and elegance of a highly considered earbud design.
Flagship Sound. Now in Earbuds
The reference-quality Pi8 redefines the earbud category: its no-holds-barred specification sets a new benchmark for engineering excellence.
Premium Design. Perfect Fit
aptX Adaptive and aptX Lossless Support
The Pi8 takes wireless audio to the next level by supporting both aptX Adaptive and aptX Lossless codecs. While aptX Adaptive offers high-quality audio at up to 24-bit/96kHz, aptX Lossless allows for CD-quality sound (16-bit/44.1kHz) with no loss in audio fidelity.
This means that the Pi8 can handle a wider range of audio sources with unmatched clarity, whether you’re streaming music, watching a movie, or gaming, ensuring that you’re always hearing the best possible version of your audio.
Carbon Cone Drive Units
Reduced distortion and improved high-frequency detail capture nuances in your music that other headphone drive units miss.
The Pi8 features advanced 12mm Carbon Cone drivers, a technology first developed for Bowers & Wilkins' flagship Px8 over-ear headphones. Carbon cones are renowned for their incredible rigidity and low mass, which reduces distortion and enhances audio precision.
These drivers allow the Pi8 to deliver exceptional sound quality with deep, controlled bass, rich midrange, and sparkling high frequencies, providing a listening experience that’s typically reserved for high-end, over-ear headphones.
The Smartest Charging Case
Pi8 offer 6.5 hours of earbud life, fast charging and additional battery life in their charging cases. Connecting to an iPhone or Android device is simple, and the smart charging case’s retransmission feature allows you to connect Pi8 directly to your favourite audio source.
Simply connect the device to the case via USB or a 3.5mm jack, and the case will retransmit the audio to your earbuds in high-quality aptX Adaptive, up to 24-bit/96kHz. This feature makes the Pi8 incredibly versatile, extending its use beyond standard Bluetooth devices.
Work. Stream. Call.
Advanced noise cancellation that automatically adapts to your surroundings and three microphones per earbud ensures uninterrupted sound and call performance no matter where you are.
Whether you’re on a plane, in a bustling city, or in a quiet room, the Pi8 adapts to your surroundings, ensuring that your listening experience is always optimal.
Direct Streaming. Complete Control
The Bowers & Wilkins Music app provides industry-first headphone music streaming, plus simple setup and control that makes Pi8 smart, intuitive and easy to use.
