Bowers & Wilkins have been designing high-performance audio systems for McLaren supercars since 2015. It’s time to turn the equation on its head… hence these Bowers and Wilkins headphones with special treatment in honor of the Woking of their successful “helmets”. » Px8.
These headphones had already been associated with the James Bond franchise now take on orange colors papaya of the Formula 1 team. Baptized as Px8 McLaren Editionhave a two-tone finish, with galvanic gray dominating.
According to Dan Shepherd, B&W’s vice president of licensing and partnerships, the Px8 McLaren Edition extends the “appeal of our industry-leading sound performance and McLaren DNA outside of the car.” McLaren’s iconic color is present inside the ear cups (with matching fabric covers), metal bands around the edges and also on the audio cable. Of course, McLaren branding appears on one edge of the leather headband. The gray cover of the box completes the stylish complement.
Apart from this, these headphones have the same smooth nappa leather finish and the same dimensions as the conventional Px8 headphones. The technical specifications are practically the same of a normal model that impressed the techies. The legacy continues in this special edition with some of the best (if not the best) active noise cancellation and an impressive 30 hours of battery life on a single charge.
The McLaren Edition Px8 Px8s are $800, which means that’s $100 more than the regular version. For McLaren owners, price won’t be much of a barrier for really good-looking headphones.
