Flagship Sound, Now in Earbuds

PI8. The new reference in earbuds. Class-leading audio performance, bespoke ANC and crystal-clear call quality with the comfort and elegance of a highly considered earbud design

Work, Stream, Call

Advanced noise cancellation that automatically adapts to your surroundings and three microphones per earbud ensures uninterrupted sound and call performance no matter where you are.

aptX Lossless

The latest in high-resolution wireless audio that adjusts dynamically to optimise performance and connection reliability, whether you are listening to music, watching movies, or playing games.

Premium Design, Perfect Fit

PI8's highly considered industrial design, combines premium materials, an ergonomic form factor and four ear tip sizes to ensure a comfortable listen for every user.

Carbon Cone Drivers

Adapted from the drive unit technology used in our Px8 headphones, by reducing distortion and improving high-frequency detail, the Carbon Cone captures nuances in your music that other headphone drive units miss.

Smart Charging Case

PI8 offers 6.5 hours of earbud life, fast charging and additional battery life in their charging cases. Connecting to an iPhone or Android device is simple, and the smart charging case's retransmission feature allows you to connect PI8 directly to your favourite audio source.
