TC Acoustic officially launched the Bowers & Wilkins new generation of Pi7 and Pi5 in-ear noise cancelling headphones on 28th March 2023 at TC Acoustic’s newly renovated experience centre. Along with the new launch of the earbuds, limited edition Px8 headphones in the form of James Bond edition and McLaren limited edition were also introduced.

Bowers & Wilkins are well know for producing high-performance audio technology for more than 50 years. Focusing on precision and ensuring “True sound” is transmitted to the users, giving users the chance to truly enjoy the intended audio experience of the musician.

Pi7 S2 and Pi5 S2 Earbuds.

The Bowers & Wilkins Pi7 and Pi5 which was first introduced in April 2021 was monumental and one of the best in their category. With the latest upgrade, the best just got better!

Pi7 S2 maintains the industry-leading hi-resolution sound of its predecessor, while making
valuable upgrades to connectivity, earbud battery life, user experience, and introducing three
new premium finishes. Both Pi7 S2 and Pi5 S2 feature upgraded wireless connectivity via a
re-engineered antenna design with increased Bluetooth range to up to 25m ensuring an even
more stable, high-quality listening experience.

Both new models feature an improved earbud battery life, now offering five hours of listening
time before a recharge is required. They continue to offer a quick charge function delivering
an additional two hours listening time from just a 15-minute charge. Of course, the charging
cases for each model provide additional battery life, with a further 16 hours available for Pi7
S2 and 19 hours available for Pi5 S2.

The Pi7 S2 continues to offer Wireless Audio Retransmission, a breakthrough feature
originally introduced in the first-generation model, enabling users to connect to an external
3 audio source – such as an in-flight entertainment system – and then wirelessly retransmit
audio from that source to the earbuds, via the Smart charging case, all in outstanding sound
quality.

As the flagship True Wireless model, the Pi7 S2 continues to offer support for Qualcomm®
aptX™ Adaptive allowing high-resolution music transmission from compatible streaming
services and devices, enabled by 24-bit/48kHz wireless transmission between each earbud.
Together, these two technologies continue to make the Pi7 S2 one of very few True Wireless
earbuds able to support high-resolution audio all the way from your music source to your ears.
Pi7 S2 features 9.2mm bespoke Bowers & Wilkins drive units, joined by a high-frequency
‘balanced armature’ driver, with each of the four drive units in the system actively driven by
its own amplifier.

Pi7 S2 also offers Adaptive Noise Cancellation to automatically monitor,
analyse and adapt to its surroundings in order to produce the best possible, uninterrupted
listening experience. That ANC system is paired with six microphones – three in each earbud
– for crystal-clear sound quality with phone calls.

The Pi7 S2 ($729) is available in Satin Black, Canvas White and Midnight Blue while the Pi5
S2 ($499) comes in in Cloud Grey, Storm Grey, Spring Lilac, and Sage Green. Both models
will be available from 28 March 2023 at tcacoustic.asia and at the TC Acoustic flagship store
at The Adelphi.

Px8 Limited Edition Headphones.

James Bond 60th Anniversary Px8 Headphones.

Bowers & Wilkins announced that it has become a partner of the James Bond film franchise, marking the next chapter in its enduring relationship with the music of Bond. Together, the two iconic British brands celebrate the integral contribution that music has made to the story of 007.

To celebrate the new partnership and the 60th anniversary of the release of Dr. No, Bowers & Wilkins has created a bespoke version of its Px8 wireless headphones, the Px8 007 Edition, featuring a Midnight Blue finish inspired by the dinner jacket worn by Bond in his first onscreen appearance. As elegant and timeless as James Bond himself, this special-edition headphones deliver all the high-performance wireless sound synonymous with Bowers & Wilkins, coupled with detailing offers a subtle nod to the style of 007.

Retailing at S$1299, the Px8 007 Edition will be available from 28 March 2023 at tcacoustic.asia and at the TC Acoustic flagship store at The Adelphi.

McLaren Automotive Px8 Limited Edition Headphone.

To celebrate the McLaren and Bowers & Wilkins partnership and the high-performance hybrid
McLaren Artura supercar in which the two companies’ award-winning collaboration features,
Bowers & Wilkins has created a specially-designed version of its Px8 wireless headphones,
the Px8 McLaren Edition.

The Px8 McLaren Edition features a Galvanic grey finish and Papaya orange highlights, the
latter inspired by the famous Papaya orange which originated on founder Bruce McLaren’s
early racing cars. Sharing McLaren’s obsession with technical and performance-led
aesthetics, the Px8 McLaren Edition headphones offer wireless sound quality synonymous
with Bowers & Wilkins.

The heart of the McLaren Edition Px8 is stellar performance with outstanding detail, resolution
and spaciousness thanks to all-new bespoke 40mm Carbon Cone drive units, inspired by
technology used in Bowers & Wilkins reference-quality loudspeakers. The Carbon Cone drive
units in the Px8 McLaren Edition are carefully angled inside each earcup to ensure a
consistent distance relative to the listener’s ears from every point across the surface of each
driver, to produce a more immersive and highly accurate soundstage. The result is the best
sound quality Bowers & Wilkins has ever delivered from a pair of wireless headphones.

Retailing at S$1299, the Px8 McLaren Edition will be available from 28 March 2023 at
tcacoustic.asia and at the TC Acoustic flagship store at The Adelphi.
