Bowers & Wilkins Px8 S2

The px8 s2 get noticeably more comfy after some time, needs to loosen up.

I got these Px8 S2's a couple of weeks ago and I just don't take them off unless I have to. No pain. Some warmth as mentioned in the OP but not what the MXs did to me.

The px8 s2 sounds noticeably better with AptX Lossless

The PX8 S2 seems really good based on what I have read about it, and I really love the look and materials, but the ANC seems weak. I have not yet found a dealer to test it, but is it really weak, or i
