British audio brand Bowers & Wilkins has announced the “Px8 S2 McLaren Edition”, a special version of their flagship wireless noise-canceling headphone “Px8”, commemorating their long-standing partnership with McLaren Automotive.
This collaboration model is based on the Px8 S2 and features McLaren’s iconic design elements along with further sound quality improvements.
Design Inspired by McLaren Supercars
The design reflects the sophisticated style and performance seen in McLaren supercars. It features an anthracite grey finish with highlights of McLaren’s iconic papaya orange. The headband is subtly adorned with the McLaren logo, enhancing the joy of ownership.
Specially Developed 40mm Carbon Cone Drivers
The greatest feature of the Px8 S2 McLaren Edition is the newly developed 40mm carbon cone driver units created specifically for this model. Precisely angled within each ear cup, they deliver a more expansive and immersive soundstage with extremely low distortion. This driver upgrade provides more detailed and natural sound performance that surpasses the standard Px8 S2.
