At the heart of the Px8 S2 McLaren Edition lies Bowers & Wilkins’ most advanced acoustic technology to date. The model features upgraded bespoke 40mm Carbon Cone drive units, complete with a redesigned chassis, voice coil, suspension and magnet system.

The Px8 S2 McLaren Edition not only excels in acoustics but also in user experience. Through the Bowers & Wilkins Music app, listeners can refine their experience by adjusting noise cancellation, customizing Quick Action controls, and fine-tuning audio settings using the new five-band EQ.
A robust 30-hour battery life ensures all-day performance, while a 15-minute quick charge provides up to seven hours of playback—a testament to the brand’s commitment to seamless luxury.
