Announced only in September this year, the Px8 quickly earned the StereoNET Applause Award in its review which you can read here. In fact, we concluded:

The Bowers & Wilkins Px8 gets the balance right for modern listeners seeking premium wireless headphones. This is a must-add to your audition list if you're looking for talented, premium-priced, noise-cancelling wireless headphones.

B&W took it one step further again with the announcement of the Px8 007 Edition just one month later. Bowers & Wilkins teamed up with the most famous of British spies to create a special edition of its Px8 headphones in a hue similar to James Bond's debut dinner jacket.

And now, to satisfy those with the need for speed, B&W has teamed up with McLaren Automotive to release the Px8 McLaren Edition headphones. Specially created to celebrate McLaren's unique supercar design, matched with Bowers & Wilkins' class-leading audio performance, the Px8 McLaren Edition headphone is the first headphone to result from the long-standing relationship between the two companies.

The partnership is built on firm technical foundations, which have already been recognised for three iF design awards for the system integrations of Bowers & Wilkins in the McLaren Speedtail, McLaren GT, and most recently, the McLaren Artura.

Bowers & Wilkins has worked closely with McLaren's design and engineering teams to create and optimise the audio system found in the company's first series production high-performance hybrid supercar - the McLaren Artura. Like its McLaren predecessors, the Artura features the very latest speaker technologies, which are developed in Southwater, home to the Bowers & Wilkins research and development team since 2019 and only 30 miles away from the McLaren global HQ in Surrey, where its supercars and hypercars are hand-built.

Px8 McLaren Edition features a Galvanic grey finish and Papaya orange highlights, the latter inspired by the famous Papaya orange, which originated on founder Bruce McLaren's early racing cars.

George Biggs, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer, McLaren Automotive, said:

We are delighted to unveil the Px8 McLaren Edition, which builds on the award-winning and long-standing collaboration between McLaren and Bowers & Wilkins. The shared ethos of pushing the boundaries, innovation and the pursuit for perfection is apparent in all products that both brands have collaborated on to-date. With the new headphones, the immersive audio experience that all receive in our supercars can now go beyond the road.

The Px8 McLaren Edition will use the same recently upgraded Bowers & Wilkins Music App for set-up and use. The Music App allows Px8 users to stream their chosen music directly from their mobile device to their headphones, with Deezer, Qobuz and TIDAL all supported.

Available now, the Bowers & Wilkins Px8 McLaren Edition headphones are selling for £699/ €799 RRP.
