Bowers & Wilkins, a notable audio products brand that has been in existence since the 1960s, produces some of the finest loudspeakers and Bluetooth audio products in the world. After recently announcing a partnership with the British motorsports team McLaren, Bowers & Wilkins has released the new Pi8 McLaren Edition Bluetooth headphones.
We’ve experienced Bowers & Wilkins’ excellent Pi5 and Pi7 S2 in-ear Bluetooth headphones, and we can state firmly that the hardware lives up to the hype. By way of its solid construction, world-class audio, and exceptional all-day comfort, coupled with strong battery life, we’re excited to share the news of the brand’s Pi8 McLaren headphones.
The McLaren Pi8 is equipped with two 12 mm Carbon Cone drivers, offers 24-bit audio connection, 5-band customisable EQ + TrueSound™ mode, Bluetooth 5.4 with aptX™ Lossless technology, and Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), a feature that is standard across all the in-ear products we’ve tried from the Bowers & Wilkins brand.
Back in March, Bowers & Wilkins and the McLaren Automotive team announced that B&WW is the Official Audio Partner for McLaren, with hopes of bringing fans of F1 racing into the high-end audio space. We can certainly say without a doubt that from the images, this will be an especially head-turning set of headphones with their Papaya orange and Galvanic Grey color stylings, and the amazing functionality will certainly spark some folks to hop aboard and get into all the offerings put out by Bowers & Wilkins.
Giles Pocock, Vice President of Brand Marketing for Bowers & Wilkins, shared in a statement, “We are thrilled to collaborate with the McLaren team once again. This reimagining of our award-winning earbuds elevates our long-term partnership even further by combining the unmistakable design DNA of McLaren with our industry-leading audio products to create an attention-grabbing version of our Pi8. We’re excited to see how it’s received by Bowers & Wilkins and McLaren fans alike.”
We hope to get our hands on the Pi8 McLaren Edition headphones very soon, and the product is currently not on the market after a brief pre-sale event earlier this month, but it will be dropping very soon. Click here to learn all the nuts and bolts about this exciting release from Bowers & Wilkins.
