Is the B&W PX8 S2 prone to QC issues or early defects?

Hi everyone,

I’m considering buying the B&W PX8 S2, but I’ve seen a few comments mentioning possible QC (quality control) issues.

For those who own the PX8 S2:

Have you experienced any early defects?

Are there common problems I should be aware of (e.g., driver imbalance, ANC issues, connection problems, creaking, etc.)?

Or are the issues just rare cases that get more attention online?

I really like the sound and build quality, but I’m a bit worried about reliability before purchasing.

Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!
