Bowers & Wilkins Px8 S2

The McLaren Edition features a distinct Galvanic Grey finish with Papaya Orange highlights, reflecting the iconic McLaren design aesthetic. While the internal audio hardware and performance specifications remain identical to the standard Px8, the materials and colorway are exclusive to this collaboration.

Yes, the Px8 S2 is designed for extended wear using premium Nappa leather and memory foam earcups. The lightweight aluminum construction and ergonomic fit make them suitable for long listening sessions, though the over-ear design provides a secure seal that some may find warm over several hours.

Absolutely. While aptX Lossless provides the highest fidelity for compatible Android devices, the headphones are fully backward compatible with standard Bluetooth codecs. You can also use the included USB-C cable for a wired connection to ensure high-resolution audio playback from your computer or phone.

The Px8 uses an advanced eight-microphone system to actively monitor and cancel out ambient noise. It is highly effective at suppressing consistent low-frequency sounds like airplane engines or office hums, allowing you to focus on your music without needing to crank the volume.

The Px8 supports spatial audio processing to create a more immersive soundstage, which works with any stereo content you play. While it enhances the depth and placement of instruments, it does not require specific 'spatial' tracks to function.

The headphones offer up to 30 hours of playback on a single charge. If you run low, a quick 15-minute charge via the USB-C port provides approximately 7 hours of additional listening time.
