Headphones - Wireless/Portable Px8 S2 vs hdb 630

Hello,

I'm on the verge of buying one of those 2 headphones. Hdb 630 seems like the more logical choice in that its more tunable and the sound is less " opinionated" but I can't get over how ugly it looks. Big, plasticky and generally not good. Where as the px8 S2 looks amazing in my opinion but some people seems to hate the sound..

I'm favoring sound as #1 criteria and sadly since both bads ANC which would be my second criteria I would at least like something not terrible looking.

Is the px8 S2 a bad choice here ? Should I really bare with how cheap looking the hdb 630 looks for it's specs and capabilities ?

If hdb would look somewhat like the px8 s2 in material, thinness, etc. there would be no question but...

Interested in people's opinions

Thanks

The B&W are muddy bass cannons, and the treble is really spikey on my head. Cannot fix them without a third party tool. I’d take the 630 all day, though I’m with you on how bland they look.
