Back in September, Bowers & Wilkins launched the PX8 headphones in the market. In October, the brand released the PX8 007 special edition on James Bond’s 60th anniversary. Now, the brand has collaborated with the iconic British luxury automotive manufacturer McLaren to launch the Bowers & Wilkins McLaren Edition headphones in the global markets.
The headphones feature Galvanic Grey color cups and headband with a streak of McLaren’s Papaya Orange lapping around the earcups. The inside of the earcup also features the papaya orange color. The McLaren branding is present on the headband as well as the grey-colored carry case of the headphones.
The headphones are equipped with 43.6 mm carbon fiber drivers and a DSP capable of reproducing 24-bit audio over AUX, Bluetooth, or USB Type-C. All B&W Px8 models support AAC, SBC, aptX, aptX HD, and aptX Adaptive Bluetooth codecs.
Furthermore, Bowers & Wilkins claims the PX8 has a battery life of up to 30 hours, though we assume this decreases with ANC enabled. The pair are said to have teamed up to commemorate their collaborations on the McLaren Artura, McLaren GT, and McLaren Speedtail.
The PX8 McLaren Edition is now available for order in the Eurozone, the United Kingdom, and the United States for €799, £699, and US$799, respectively. In short, the McLaren Edition is €100 more expensive than the standard PX8 because it has a McLaren-themed paint job. To find out more about the headphones, you can visit Bowers & Wilkins’ website.
