Celebrating the long-standing, award-winning partnership between Bowers & Wilkins and McLaren Automotive and the McLaren supercars and hypercars in which Bowers & Wilkins has been integrated, the Px8 McLaren Edition headphones fuse McLaren-inspired styling with high-performance wireless sound synonymous with Bowers & Wilkins’ flagship headphones.
McLaren inspired
Celebrating a relationship which has been in place since 2015, the Px8 McLaren Edition is finished in elegant grey leather with Papaya orange details inspired by McLaren’s supercars and hypercars.
Designed highlights
Integration of McLaren Automotive cues is subtle but stylish, with a Galvanic grey finish and Papaya orange highlights, the latter inspired by the famous Papaya orange which originated on founder Bruce McLaren’s early racing cars. A discreet tone-on-tone McLaren logo on the headband completes the headphones’ distinct and striking design.
Audio partners
The partnership is built on firm technical foundations, something that has already been recognised with three iF design awards for the system integrations of Bowers & Wilkins in the McLaren Speedtail, McLaren GT, and most recently, the hybrid McLaren Artura, which has again raised the bar for audio performance thanks to close engineering collaboration and optimisation.
A new reference in headphones
We’ve never made a better headphone than Px8. A high-resolution 24-bit DSP is partnered with all-new driver technology to deliver outstanding resolution, capable of capturing nuances in your music that may otherwise be missed. This is headphone listening on all-new levels of immersion and realism.
Angled Carbon Cones
Px8’s precisely angled Carbon Cone drive units reduce distortion, resulting in massively improved clarity. Coupled to a fully optimized drive unit ‘motor system’, with revised magnet, voice coil and surround, the result is unparalleled accuracy and realism.
High-resolution sound with advanced DSP
Px8 uses aptX™ Adaptive wireless technology and powerful Digital Signal Processing to ensure outstanding 24-bit high-resolution sound quality from suitable streaming services. You can also connect to your laptop via USB to enjoy high-resolution streaming.
Cancel the noise, not your music
Px8's proprietary noise cancellation technology ensures outstanding performance with no impact on musicality. Six microphones work together to deliver the best results, both for noise cancellation and clearer voice calls.
Comfort, for longer
Cast aluminum arms and fine Nappa leather trim leave you in no doubt that Px8 is a headphone every bit as special as it sounds. And with 30 hours of listening from a single charge you can enjoy the experience for over a day at a time.
