The special headphones use the same natural grain leather found in Maserati cabins and, of course, sport the car company’s famous trident badge.
They also come with a special quilted leather carrying pouch and have a dedicated made-for-iPhone cable so that songs don’t have to be interrupted to take a call when out and about.
More importantly, the €399 headphones contain all of Bowers & Wilkins’ audio knowhow. That means over-ear speakers that use specially developed neodymium magnets and highly and equally special diaphragms for the clearest sound and the best natural external noise isolation.
The headphones follow a similar collaboration between the brands which resulted in a Maserati edition of Bowers & Wilkins recording studio-grade loudspeakers. But at €8000 a pair, they would have to be something special.
And, of course Bowers & Wilkins technology is why music sounds so good inside a Maserati. B&W is responsible for the sound systems inside the current Ghibli & Quattroporte luxury sports sedans.
