Bowers & Wilkins P5 Maserati Edition
Bowers & Wilkins and Maserati announce a collaboration, both renowned for their dedication to technological innovation in pursuit of ultimate performance. Paying homage to the design heritage of both brands, the P5 Maserati Edition delivers an immersive mobile listening experience.
Just as highly regarded for their luxurious attention to detail and use of premium materials, it’s only fitting that once again, the two companies are collaborating to create great products, with the additional release of the 805 Maserati Edition Speakers.
For a luxuriously comfortable fit, the P5 Maserati Edition is crafted from fine-grain natural leather in Maserati’s iconic and distinctive deep racing blue. The P5 Maserati Edition also features the iconic Maserati Trident emblem on the headband, and on the exclusive quilted leather travel pouch. The Trident was designed by Mario Maserati in 1926, based on the statue of Neptune in the fountain of Bologna’s Piazza Maggiore.
The P5 Maserati Edition also features award-winning audio performance for which the original P5 Mobile Hi-Fi Headphone is renowned for, with unfatiguing natural sound from the use of specially developed, ultra-linear neodymium magnets and highly optimised Mylar diaphragms; Offering 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.
“P5 has proven to be an enduring, true high performance headphone design and the release of the limited, P5 Maserati Edition is a fitting gesture that will be appreciated by enthusiasts everywhere", Geoff Matthews, CEO of Australian distributor Convoy International, told AV Life.
The P5 Maserati Edition is supplied with a Made For iPhone approved cable, which allows for speech and device control, as well as giving the user 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.
Bowers & Wilkins P5 Maserati Edition will be available from April 2014, at $549.95 RRP
Bowers & Wilkins is distributed in Australia by Convoy International.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
