While it might be hard to look past the fantastic earbud options from Apple, Bose, and Sony, if you appreciate seriously great sound quality you will want to have this rare deal on the 2024 Bowers & Wilkins Pi8 on your radar. Regularly $399, you can now land a set in all four colors via Amazon for $319 shipped. This is 20% or $80 off and the first notable deal we have tracked there all-time.
After getting a chance to go hands-on with this set for review back in September a few things became immediately clear – this is a set of earbuds that both look and feel high-end, deliver impeccable sound quality, and feature a sweet audio re-transmission function to beam wired-only sources to the buds wirelessly – you can connect to wired in-flight systems using nothing but the wireless charging case. But you’re going to be paying for it with a $399 MSRP.
However, that all changes today and for the very first time, giving folks a shot at all-time low Amazon pricing on all four colorways.
I loved the responsive but not overly sensitive on-ear controls, you can summon Siri with them, and they sound absolutely incredible. Delivering remarkable detail in the high-end and mid-range, they might not be the most sub-thumping buds out there for folks looking to blast their ears with bass, but if you can appreciate the finer details in your audio, they are brilliant.
A complete rundown of the user experience, specs, ANC action, and more awaits in our hands-on review right here. Here’s a quick excerpt:
In the end, it’s all about the sound with these wireless earbuds. Other models out there, many of which in lower price points, offer more bells and whistles in the feature department, deeper Siri integration, cases with displays on them, additional listening modes, ANC customization, in-ear fit tech, and more, but not very many of them sound this good to my ears. If you’re looking to drop the sort of cash Bowers & Wilkins gear tends to demand, it’s hard to go wrong here. And frankly you get what you pay for with the Pi8 buds – they sound like they are worth $399.
