B&W Pi6 – premium sound, optimal experience
Pi6 is the latest True Wireless in-ear headphone from B&W, designed to bring a comfortable experience, high-end features and performance at a reasonable price.
The sound quality of Pi6 has many improvements and inherits the previous generation flagship headphone model Pi7 S2 thanks to the advanced Qualcomm chipset, providing a stable wireless connection.
The latest Bluetooth 5.4 technology supports simultaneous connection of two devices, compatible with the aptX Adaptive standard, allowing Pi6 to transmit high-quality wireless audio at 24-bit/96kHz.
The Pi6 features 12mm bio-cellulose drivers, developed from the award-winning driver technology in the Px7 S2e over-ear headphones, ensuring high-resolution audio in a compact and convenient design. The Pi6’s battery life is 8 hours from the headphones, with an additional 16 hours from the charging case.
B&W Pi8 – redefining the high-end reference headphone
Meanwhile, Bowers & Wilkins has high expectations for the Pi8, positioning it as the company’s most premium in-ear headphone model.
With a much more powerful configuration than the Pi6, the Pi8 is equipped with a 12mm speaker membrane with exclusive Carbon Cone technology, which has affirmed the excellent sound quality on the Px8 over-ear headphone model.
To maximize its potential, the Pi8 supports both aptX Adaptive 24-bit/96kHz and aptX Lossless, ensuring the most faithful and detailed wireless audio transmission.
In particular, the Pi8’s Smartcase is not only a charging function but also a portable audio decoder, supporting music sources via USB and 3.5mm port, bringing the highest quality music listening experience to users at all times.
The Pi8’s battery life is 6.5 hours on the headset with an additional 13.5 hours from the Smartcase charging case, along with the ability to transmit audio from the charging case with high-quality aptX Adaptive.
New Design and Experience
Both Pi6 and Pi8 are carefully designed with high-quality materials, providing a comfortable and durable wearing experience with IP54 water and dust resistance standards. In particular, every aspect of the new Pi6 and Pi8 design is said to be the result of meticulous research on the shape of human ears of many genders and ethnicities around the world.
