Based on B&W's flagship wireless headphones "Px8", with a galvanic gray finish as the base tone, papaya orange, born from the early racing cars of McLaren Automotive founder Bruce McLaren, is used as an accent color adopted as the color of every part and connecting cable. The design symbolizes the partnership between the two companies. The carrying case is engraved with the McLaren logo.
The base Px8 is equipped with a specially designed 40mm carbon cone drive unit inspired by the carbon dome tweeter installed in the company's speaker "700 series". It has a loud noise cancellation function with a total of 6 high-performance microphones.
On the connectivity side, it supports aptX adaptive codec with high sound quality, low latency and high connection performance and supports transmission up to 48kHz/24bit. It supports aptX HD/aptX/AAC/SBC. It has a USB-DAC function up to 48kHz / 24bit, and by connecting it to a PC etc. with a USB Type C cable, it is possible to play it while charging. It supports wired connection with 3.5mm stereo mini.
In addition, since this model is a special specification product, in the event of a non-repairable part failure, it can be replaced with normal versions of Px8 parts and main parts. There is a dedicated replacement part for the ear pads, but this will be replaced with the regular version of the Px8 ear pads as soon as the stock runs out.
