    "Bespoke" means custom made for a particular individual, like having a custom tailored suit made for yourself. "Bespoke" does not mean drivers designed for a entire model of headset. If it's the same driver in every set of these headsets, then the driver is not bespoke. And since there are parts designed specifically and uniquely for pretty much every headset on the market, there is nothing unusual or "custom" about the drivers in this headset. They are not "bespoke."

    I find the overuse of the word "bespoke" these days, in contexts where it never would have been used in the past, incredibly pretentious and annoying. But if people can't even use the word correctly, it's even more ridiculous. I assme GSMArena took the term "bespoke" directly out of the B&W press release and repeated it uncritically.

        You dont need a jack when 90% of the users are on youtube or 320kbps spotify with some shitty V-shaped FR headphones (son xm4's, momentums, m50x). LDAC gives you up to 990 kbps bitrate and lets be honest, no one needs reference sound while trains and buses are humming in the background.

You kids need to invest in an actual pair of headphones and good dacs/amps. It's embarrassing to post a reply like that.

                  Jack doesn not belong in a phone now, it belongs to 20th century.

                        These look really nice and premium ngl, love the design. Shame this type of form factor doesn't stay well in my ears lol Also shame there's no improvement in battery department.

                                    Expensive but worth it considering its Bowers and Wilkins and not some beats with zero audio tech.

                                      The black-gold reminds me of the XM3, speaking of which the XM4 are just around the corner.
