LONDON – Jan 16, 2014: Extending the collaboration between two legendary brands: Bowers & Wilkins P5 Maserati Edition Mobile Hi-Fi Headphones.

Bowers & Wilkins is proud to announce the P5 Maserati Edition Mobile Hi-Fi Headphones. These join the Bowers & Wilkins 805 Maserati Edition loudspeaker and Bowers & Wilkins uniquely tuned in-car audio systems for the Maserati Ghibli and Quattroporte.

Maserati and Bowers & Wilkins are both renowned for their dedication to technological innovation in the pursuit of ultimate performance, luxurious attention to detail and use of premium materials, and for the performance and quality of their range. It is therefore fitting that once again the two companies are collaborating to make great products.

P5 Maserati Edition
The highly-regarded Bowers & Wilkins P5 Mobile Hi-Fi Headphones are now available in a special Maserati Edition, matching the unbeatable audio performance of Bowers & Wilkins with the understated elegance of Maserati.

Paying homage to the design heritage of both brands, the P5 Maserati Edition delivers an immersive mobile listening experience and the true sound performance that is synonymous with all Bowers & Wilkins audio products, combined with design elements and materials drawn from the rich Italian heritage of Maserati.

The P5 Maserati Edition is crafted from fine-grain natural leather, in Maserati’s distinctive deep blue, for a luxuriously comfortable fit. P5 Maserati Edition also features the iconic Maserati Trident emblem on both the headband and the exclusive quilted leather travel pouch. The Trident was designed by Mario Maserati, based on the statue of Neptune in the fountain of Bologna’s Piazza Maggiore.

Of course, the P5 Maserati Edition also features the award-winning audio performance for which the original P5 Mobile Hi-Fi Headphones are renowned, with unfatiguing natural sound from the use of specially developed, ultra-linear neodymium magnets and highly optimised Mylar diaphragms; maximum noise isolation through a combination of sealed-leather ear pads and a closed-back design featuring a rigid metal faceplate; and extreme comfort for extended listening.

Like the original P5 Mobile Hi-Fi Headphones, the P5 Maserati Edition is supplied with a Made For iPhoneŽ-approved cable, which allows for speech and device control, as well as a high-quality, standard audio cable with gold-plated plugs. Switching between the two is facilitated by the magnetically attached ear pads, which simply pop off allowing access to the cable.

Thanks to the understated style of Maserati and Bowers & Wilkins audio performance, the P5 Maserati Edition is a world champion for luxury listening.

805 Maserati Edition
The speaker of choice for the world’s most demanding ears and minds, Bowers & Wilkins 800 Series Diamond range is steeped in audio and design innovation. The 805 Maserati Edition features numerous audiophile-grade technologies, including Bowers & Wilkins’ Diamond Dome Tweeter, and delivers a listening experience synonymous with the culture and heritage of both brands.

The 805 Maserati Edition is crafted from materials that reflect the partnership: the exquisite bird’s eye maple real wood veneer and black Maserati leather reflect the luxurious interior of the brand’s cars, and the speaker stand that forms an integral part of the 805 Maserati Edition is finished with the same polished wood veneer and features the Maserati Trident.
