Px8 S2 McLaren Edition Headphones

Precision Audio Meets Performance Design

Few collaborations speak to the soul of speed and sonic clarity like the latest release from Bowers & Wilkins and McLaren. The Px8 S2 McLaren Edition headphones offer a proper nod to Formula 1 heritage while establishing elite design, audio mastery, and technological power. Developed in partnership with McLaren Automotive and the McLaren Formula 1 Team, these headphones deliver on every front: performance, aesthetics, and craftsmanship.

Draped in Anthracite Grey with signature McLaren Papaya accents, the Px8 S2 McLaren Edition headphones channel the livery and luxury of a McLaren supercar. From the diamond-cut elliptical logo plates to the Speedmark detailing on the earcups and headband, every visual cue is deliberate. Nappa leather wraps the cushions and headband, offering a premium feel that mirrors the interior of a McLaren cabin. These headphones are engineered for the listener who demands peak performance from their gear—on the road, in the office, or at home.

Px8 S2 McLaren Edition Headphones: Engineered for Sonic Supremacy

Inside the Px8 S2 McLaren Edition headphones lies the brand’s most advanced acoustic technology to date. At the heart of the performance are upgraded 40mm Carbon Cone drive units that have been entirely reengineered—voice coils, suspension, chassis, and magnet systems—each part precision-aligned to the listener’s ear. The result? Incredible stereo imaging and an immersive soundstage that rivals live performance.

Bowers & Wilkins’ latest active noise cancellation tech ensures you hear only what you want—without sacrificing any musical nuance. The Px8 S2 McLaren Edition headphones also feature Qualcomm’s aptX Adaptive and Lossless support, delivering hi-res 24-bit/96kHz wireless audio that pairs seamlessly with top-tier streaming services. Whether it’s a V12 engine note or a classical crescendo, these headphones reproduce every detail faithfully.

Add to that the refined control via the Bowers & Wilkins Music app, and you’ve got full access to a five-band EQ, custom noise-canceling profiles, wear sensor sensitivity, battery management, and a customizable Quick Action button.

Set for release on November 19th, these elite headphones are priced at $899 and will be available through the Bowers & Wilkins website and select retail partners. Given the brand’s following and the strength of this partnership, expect high demand and limited stock.
