The Px8 McLaren Edition is a distinctive special-edition wireless headphone from B&W (Bowers & Wilkins), created in collaboration with the iconic McLaren automaker, equipped with a pair of 40mm drivers and a substantial 30-hour single-charge battery life at moderate volume. The Px8 McLaren Edition brings B&W's considered engineering to a distinctive automotive-collaboration wireless over-ear format.

Key specs that matter

The transducer uses a dynamic driver in a closed, over-ear configuration. Frequency response spans 10Hz to 30,000Hz within plus-or-minus 10dB. Connection is wireless, with impedance at 33 ohms. Weight is 320g.

Sound and use context

Expect an accomplished wireless performance reflecting B&W's broader 40mm-driver engineering, elevated by the distinctive McLaren collaboration styling and the substantial 30-hour battery life supporting extended listening sessions.

Pairing

The wireless connection pairs directly with any Bluetooth-equipped smartphone or source, with the McLaren-branded finish offering genuine visual distinction from the standard Px8.

Alternatives

B&W's own standard Px8 offers the non-collaboration alternative sharing the same core driver technology within the same broader catalogue.
