Bowers & Wilkins Launches New Pi6 and Pi8 True Wireless ANC Earbuds

Bowers & Wilkins introduced two all-new premium True Wireless earbuds, the Pi6 and Pi8, developed by the same design and engineering teams responsible for the brand's Px7 S2e and Px8 headphones. Coming from the renowned audio brand, the two models are focused on sound quality, combining fit and comfort, excellent noise cancellation and premium aesthetics. Based on Qualcomm's latest chipsets, the Pi6 and Pi8 earbuds offer a great combination of premium technologies and features, including the innovative Pi8 Smartcase.

As expected, on September 12, Apple announced the new iPhone 15 series models, which now all have USB-C connectors (but only use USB3). More importantly, Apple introduced new AirPods Pro (2nd generation) with USB-C charging capabilities and anticipated new audio experiences to all AirPods Pro models with iOS 17 updates. Between the lines there is an announcement about an upcoming "groundbreaking wireless audio protocol" supporting lossless audio over 5GHz.

Poly, the company that resulted from the merger of Plantronics and Polycom and is now part of HP, launched a range of three true wireless earbuds designed for work-from-anywhere, all with active noise cancellation, top notch features, and a unique design. Following the unveiling of two models earlier in 2023, Poly now also introduced an entry-level version Voyager Free 60. All are Bluetooth 5.3 Class 1 designs with innovative features.
