Before the B&W PX, Sony’s 1000X were the headphones that I could most readily and casually grab on my way out the door. There were never any worries with those headphones about the sound or the fit proving fatiguing over the course of a full day. I can’t say exactly the same about the PX, I’m still wary about their comfort, but given the choice, I would still take them with me first just because I love their sound. It’s not what I hear, but what I feel while wearing these headphones, and that’s the simple pleasure of music.
