The 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.
The Px8 uses 40mm Carbon Cone drive units, inspired by technology used in Bowers & Wilkins reference-quality loudspeakers.
"The Carbon Cone drive units in the Px8 McLaren Edition are carefully angled inside each earcup to ensure a consistent distance relative to the listener's ears from every point across the surface of each driver, to produce a more immersive and highly accurate soundstage." Bowers & Wilkins stated.
The new headphones also come with Qualcomm's aptXTM Adaptive wireless technology. You can connect them to devices using USB-C or 3.5mm analogue cable, and both types of cables are included in the case that comes with the product.
The Px8 uses proprietary Bowers & Wilkins-optimised noise cancellation technology to shut out unwanted noise. Six microphones work together to deliver the best results: two measure the output of each drive unit, two react to ambient noise from the outside world and two provide voice clarity with enhanced noise suppression.
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.
The new Px8 McLaren Edition will be available from the Bowers & Wilkins website and select retailers from 7 December priced at £699 / $799 / €799.
