Where is our Bowers & Wilkins Px8 S2 review? We're spot-checking a couple of quirks before publishing it

Review samples of the Bowers & Wilkins Px8 S2, its new flagship noise-cancelling headphones, are out there, and you might have already read a couple of verdicts before you arrived here.

But, if you're (sensibly) holding out for our final verdict, you're going to have to wait just a little longer as we're crossing the i's and dotting the t's on a couple of atypical issues we spotted with our sample before giving them a star rating.

On our travels, though, we’ve encountered a couple of atypical connectivity issues through the Bowers & Wilkins app, relating to pairing and sound modes, which we think just need checking over.

The quirks we’ve encountered don’t affect sound quality (which is very promising), but they relate to the user experience. We just want to do our due diligence and ensure we’ve been as thorough as possible by calling in a second pair to see how they are to use.

Reviews are the building blocks of What Hi-Fi? and are something we don’t take lightly. We strive to bring you the most thorough verdicts on hi-fi, TV and home cinema, and reaching those verdicts can take a little time.
