B&W is a partner of the James Bond movie franchise. The music for the latest films in the franchise was recorded in a famous British studio using 800 Diamond speakers. Given the strong relationship with Bond's music, it's no surprise that the company, in honor of the anniversary of the very first Bond film (1962), presented a special edition of Bluetooth headphones.
Features:
- Headphones designed specifically for the 60th anniversary of the famous franchise.
- Improved sound quality, design, and finish.
- Brand new custom-made carbon diffusers positioned at an angle inside each headphone to minimize distortion and improve sound resolution.
- New materials: cast aluminum arches, glossy metallic details with diamond cut finish, and Nappa leather trim.
- Updated Bowers & Wilkins Music app with streaming capabilities from popular services.
The Px8 007 Edition headphones are high-quality headphones that combine the icon of British style with superior performance. They were designed specifically for the 60th anniversary of the famous franchise. Each pair of Px8 007 Edition headphones is coated in Midnight Blue leather in honor of the tuxedo worn by James Bond himself during his first appearance on screen.
The carbon diffuser enhances resolution, detail, and sound accuracy. The drivers are angled within the headphones to create a natural sound perception effect, as if listening to an acoustic system. The Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) algorithm used in Px7 S2 and Px8 is based on the same patented noise-canceling system as the one in Px7, which is already considered one of the best on the market. It does not distort sound or alter its character while cutting out surrounding noise.
The microphone placement in Px8 has been changed compared to its predecessors to improve call quality. There are a total of six microphones: two measure noise in the ear cups, two handle ambient sound, and another two ensure clear voice transmission during calls. The new microphone positioning allows for better voice capture and more efficient wind noise reduction.
The headband design has also been perfected to provide greater comfort during extended listening sessions. The fit of the ear cups has been improved for people who wear glasses. The clamping force and ear cushion design have been optimized to ensure comfortable wearing of the headphones with glasses.
Control and customization of the Px8 are available in the Bowers & Wilkins Music app. Users have access to an equalizer for sound customization, as well as control over noise cancellation and transparency modes.
