Hi dar7an
We concluded our testing on the Bowers & Wilkins Px8. We did not notice a change in Frequency Response. Here is a screenshot of two Frequency Response taken on our Testing Head (B&K 5128), we took a baseline Frequency measurement on firmware 3.0.0 the updated the headphones and took another Frequency measurement on firmware 3.1.0 in the same seating. FR GraphFirmware version
We will also be performing the same test on the Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S2.
Sorry for the delays!
Cheers,
Dagobiet
Thank you so much! You’ve got no idea how much fun r/BowersWilkins are about to have lol
I also did not notice any difference with the FQ. Glad this confirms it!
Hi there dar7an
I’m really sorry. We are busy in the lab at the moment, we have not forgotten to look into this. At the moment, we are in the process of updating our Headphone Methodology and this takes time and resources.
Rest assured, once we have the data, I will link the updates here.
Hi Berlino77,
Thank you for the feedback!
We will be taking a look at the latest firmware to see the impact of firmware 3.1.0 for the “Bowers & Wilkins PX8 and the "PX7S2E”. Once the retest has been concluded, I will provide and update with our results early next week.
Cheers,
Dagobiet.
Hi dar7an,
At the moment, we do not test other EQ settings. When it comes to preference, it can be a gray area since it can vary from person to person. We do not want to promote a custom EQ being “better” than another for that reason. We are working on a way to better present our data for users with different preference curves. Stay tuned!
Cheers,
Dagobiet
I understand. Excited to see what y’all are doing with preference curves
Hi team, could you please try out the EQ settings when you update the review for the latest firmware? For instance, displaying the frequency response when the bass is reduced to -3 and the treble is boosted to +1. I feel like it’s hard to trash on the product if they can be brought closer to audiophile standards with a simple fix.
