I got my new home speaker from Bang & Olufsen (B&O) in March 2026 and have been spoilt by awesome sound and music quality ever since. I found myself always want to stay at home to enjoy the music because my headphones (Bose NC700) just does not do my music justice anymore.

So I got myself a new headphones – Bowers & Wilkins (B&W) Px8 S2. Sound quality is really good which is a given since it is B&W. At least B&W is of a lower price tag (S$999 – I paid lower since there are some discounts) than B&O equivalents (S$2500).

My home speaker – Beolab 8 is priced at S$5475 but I got a bit of discount so I paid lower.

Overall, I paid $5201.25 for my Beolab 8 and S$869 for Px8 S2. After I got my Px8 S2, I went to get my bubble tea and I got the queue number 88. That’s when I realised both my home speaker and my main headphone have “8” in their model number. Hahaha. 88 is also an angel number which means financial abundance, material success and karmic rewards. In addition, I also have Bose in my audio equipment brands so that’s like 3 Bs in the brands that I use. B looks like 8 too. Hahaha. I wasn’t planning for all these coincidences. It’s just that I have been using Bose and B&O ever since I started work and started earning my own money. Obviously I am quite loyal to brands that work well consistently.

I might be slightly over 6k poorer in my wallet but I am definitely way happier than 6k. The cost per use are pretty high since I use them daily. 😀
