Bowers & Wilkins Partners With McLaren, Announces New Zeppelin McLaren Edition

Bowers & Wilkins isn’t slowing down even though it’s nearing the end of the year, with a new Zeppelin McLaren Edition speaker announced. 

First introduced in 2007, the Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin is a storied speaker that received a redesign in 2021. Now, the company has released the second product in partnership with McLaren Automotive after the Px8 McLaren Edition, a new Zeppelin McLaren Edition that comes in a Galvanic Grey finish with Papaya Orange highlights that are inspired by McLaren’s design aesthetics.

Dan Shepherd, VP of Licensing & Partnerships for Bowers & Wilkins, told StereoNET:

I am thrilled to introduce the latest addition to our expanding product portfolio developed in collaboration with our partners at McLaren Automotive. The Zeppelin McLaren Edition joins the highly successful Px8 McLaren Edition, creating a uniquely appealing and innovative wireless product range that I’m sure will find eager buyers amongst both fans of McLaren and fans of Bowers & Wilkins alike.

The Zeppelin speaker is a complete single-box stereo system with drivers arranged in dedicated left and right speaker assemblies around a central subwoofer, powered by 240W of amplification. The speaker was also updated for a more modern listening experience, with support for AirPlay 2, aptX Adaptive Bluetooth streaming and more.

Additionally, Bowers & Wilkins is introducing wireless multi-room capability with the launch of the Zeppelin McLaren Edition. All compatible Zeppelins will be able to benefit from extended multi-room compatibility with the Panorama 3 and Formation wireless speakers.

There’s also a limited-production version of the Zeppelin created to celebrate the 60th anniversary of McLaren and Bruce McLaren’s legacy. There will be only 60 pieces of the Zeppelin McLaren 60th Anniversary Edition produced, with racing livery-inspired colours, a vibrant orange finish and a Speedy Kiwi on the rear of the speaker. The 60 units will be available exclusively from select McLaren dealerships worldwide.

Furthermore, Bowers & Wilkins has also announced a gorgeous new Royal Burgundy finish for the Px8 headphones, which continue to retail at $699 USD.

The Zeppelin McLaren Edition is available now, priced at $899 USD.

applause awards

Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.

Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.

The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.

We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
