B&W Px8 S2 McLaren Edition Noise-Cancelling Headphones
Special-edition over-ear noise-cancelling headphones
The Px8 S2 McLaren Edition is the newest expression of the partnership between Bowers & Wilkins, McLaren Automotive, and McLaren Racing. It fuses the exceptional wireless sound and luxurious materials synonymous with Bowers & Wilkins’ flagship over-ear headphones with a bold new McLaren-inspired design.
McLaren inspired
The Px8 S2 McLaren Edition features all-new design details that reference McLaren’s iconic performance and sporting heritage. Inspired by the iconic color of founder Bruce McLaren’s early racing cars, this distinctive papaya finish is still used on McLaren’s Formula 1 Team cars to this day.
Ultimate sound quality
Combining custom-designed drive units with powerful digital processing for a truly focused and engaging listening experience, Px8 S2 McLaren Edition offers unrivaled audio performance. The result is a headphone that delivers our best sound quality ever
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.
Designed highlights
Anthracite Gray Nappa leather across every primary surface and metallic papaya-colored earcups assert a bold new elegance while the embossed McLaren logo on the headband completes the look.
Exceptional all-day audio
With aptX™ Lossless and aptX™ Adaptive support, Px8 S2 McLaren Edition finds the optimum connection between your headphones and music source to deliver the best listening experience imaginable. And, with 30 hours of playback, you can listen all day long.
A new reference in headphones
Px8 combines its high-resolution 24-bit DSP with all-new 40mm Carbon Cones that deliver outstanding resolution. By reducing distortion and improving high-frequency detail, the Carbon Cone captures nuances in your music that other headphone drive units miss – and in Px8, that means more of the music that matters, more of the time.
Direct streaming, complete control
Enjoy all your music effortlessly with the Bowers & Wilkins Music app. Integrate your favourite streaming platforms, receive personalised recommendations that help you discover future classics, launch your phone’s voice assistant and select the type of noise cancellation.
High-resolution sound with advanced DSP
Px8 S2 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 S2 proprietary noise-cancelling 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
Px8 S2 features luxurious materials and purposeful design. Its aluminium arms are supremely light and stiff for superior durability: its sumptuous Nappa leather combines with perfectly crafted memory foam earpads to provide effortless all-day comfort plus supreme durability. Diamond-cut bright metal detailing perfectly finishes the luxurious, premium look.
