Reference-level sound quality. Iconic McLaren design.
The Px8 S2 McLaren Edition is the latest result of a collaboration between Bowers & Wilkins and McLaren Automotive and McLaren Racing, combining the exceptional wireless sound and luxurious materials of Bowers & Wilkins’ flagship over-ear headphones with a bold new design inspired by McLaren.
The Px8 S2 McLaren Edition features all-new design details that reference McLaren's iconic performance and sporting heritage. The iconic colour of founder Bruce McLaren's early racing cars has inspired this distinctive Papaya finish, which is still used on McLaren's Formula 1 team cars.
Anthracite grey Nappa leather on all main surfaces and metallic papaya coloured cups create a bold new elegance, while an embossed McLaren logo on the headband completes the look.
Comfortable to wear all day, the Px8 S2 McLaren Edition offers a comfortable and luxurious listening experience thanks to precision-molded, perfectly cushioned ear cups and fine Nappa leather. The elegantly designed headphones feature thinner ear cups than the previous model, attached to durable aluminum arms with visible Papayan cable details.
Lots of new
A careful redesign has made the Px8 S2 even thinner, lighter and more comfortable. The new, more compact storage case fits easily on the go. As you would expect from a flagship, the finish is first-class in every way. Luxurious nappa leather covers the surfaces that touch the head. Aluminum parts and stylish details combine lightness, mechanical durability and sophisticated design perfectly. The new model has improved ergonomics even further. Your fingers can reach the buttons with comfort and precision even more easily.
B&W's high-quality 40 mm Carbon Dome drivers have been further developed in many ways. The frame, voice coil, suspension and magnet have been optimized throughout, and the drivers are positioned at a carefully considered angle to the listener's ears. This ensures a uniform distance from the entire driver surface to the ear, which improves the accuracy of the sound image and the sense of space. A separate headphone amplifier that drives the drivers and the latest innovations from Qualcomm, including support for the aptX Lossless codec, bring more power and scale to the sound.
Effective noise cancellation and crystal clear sound
The Px8 S2 McLaren Edition headphones offer excellent noise cancellation, optimized for sound quality, comfort and safety. A new noise cancellation system based on eight microphones ensures that external disturbances are kept at bay. Achieving reference-level sound quality and a pleasant user experience in noise cancellation mode requires expertise and smart choices in headphone design - Bowers & Wilkins is a pioneer in this respect. New technology, including ADI Pure Voice technology, also ensures impressive hands-free audibility during calls and meetings.
30-hour battery life and a useful control app
The Px8 S2 McLaren Edition headphones offer up to 30 hours of listening time on a single charge. The quick charge feature allows you to add up to 7 hours of listening time with just 15 minutes of charging. Like other new Bowers & Wilkins headband and earbud headphones, the Px8 S2 is fully controllable via the Music app (iOS and Android). From the app, you can adjust noise cancellation settings, check battery status, choose the sensitivity of the movement detection and assign your own function to the headphones' Quick Action button. Also new is an adjustable five-band equalizer, the settings of which can be saved as easy-to-use presets. Alternatively, you can select True Sound mode, which corresponds to the optimized tuning selected by Bowers & Wilkins' Southwater Research Establishment (SRE) acoustics team.
In short,
The Px8 S2 McLaren Edition noise cancelling headphones offer market-leading performance in both sound quality and comfort, making them the ideal choice for any music lover. The Px8 S2 is also ready for the future and new technologies. Future software updates promise to include surround sound support, Bluetooth® LE Audio, and Auracast™ compatibility.
