Bowers & Wilkins Pi8
{ "review": "Les transducteurs à cône en carbone de 12mm et le codec aptX Lossless 24 bits/96 kHz délivrent une écoute Hi-Res sans fil, tandis que la réduction de bruit active sur mesure isole efficacement des bruits de fond. La retransmission audio sans fil depuis le boîtier vers les écouteurs permet de connecter une source filaire, un atout distinctif pour les trajets en avion. Avec 8 heures d’écoute, une charge rapide de 15 minutes pour 2 heures et des microphones à réduction de bruit, ils ciblent les professionnels en déplacement privilégiant la clarté des appels." }
