There are six microphones in the Bowers & Wilkins Px8, four of which are used to isolate and cut off noise and two for taking calls. There are also pickups in place to reduce the sound of wind gusts. 

The Px8 is controlled with physical buttons placed at the back of each ear. You can change the volume, pause music, change tracks, launch your preferred voice assistant, and switch noise cancellation modes. 

A brand big on ergonomics, the Bowers & Wilkins Px8 weighs 320 grams and has a circum-aural design with pads that cover the ears for passive isolation. The headphones come with a promise of up to 30 hours of playback on a single charge, while 15 minutes of charge is said to deliver seven hours of battery life.
