Bowers & Wilkins has just launched a new special edition headphone that celebrates the 60th anniversary of James Bond. The new device is the “bespoke PX8 007 Edition” B&W headphones, which carry a unique design that is inspired by the famous British spy.
Notably, the new Bowers & Wilkins PX8 007 edition headphones features a design that celebrates the Midnight Blue tuxedo worn by James Bond in 1962’s Dr. No. In other words, it is a direct homage to the beginning of the iconic character based on Ian Fleming’s spy novels. Interestingly, the collaboration between the popular film series and Bowers & Wilkins arrives as B&W just became the partner of the James Bond franchise.
While the collaboration might seem odd, music has been an iconic part of the franchise itself. You can still clearly hum the original and legendary theme song of James Bond that was created by Monty Norman. So, it is not surprising that the series partners with an audio based company that has been a known brand in the high end premium audio products segment that ranges from the luxury speakers, HiFi and Home Cinema, and even hearable devices as well.
The new PX8 007 Edition is basically the B&W PX8 wireless headphones but with a unique new design. It now features a Midnight Blue finish inspired by the dinner jacket worn by Bond in his first ever screen appearance (played by Sean Connery). The new PX8 007 model will be available on the 007Store.com and the official Bowers & Wilkins website as well and will go on sale on 19th October 2022. Being a premium special edition product it carries a hefty price tag of 799 US Dollars.
