Hot on the exhaust pipes of its long term partnership announcement with McLaren Automotive, Bowers & Wilkins has unveiled the Pi8 McLaren Edition, a racy reimagining of its award-winning flagship wireless earbuds.
Sonically, the Pi8 McLaren Edition sound exactly the same as the original Pi8, already lauded for their sound quality and form factor. What sets this edition apart is the infusion of McLaren’s signature design DNA: the unmistakable Papaya Orange accents, an homage to McLaren’s storied racing heritage, paired with a sleek Galvanic Grey finish.
As Giles Pocock, Vice President of Brand Marketing at Bowers & Wilkins, puts it: “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.”

The Pi8 McLaren Edition is now available via the Bowers & Wilkins website www.bowerswilkins.com. Pricing is £449 ($499 / €499).
