NEW RELEASE
Bowers & Wilkins Px8 S2
Beckham has worked with the British audio brand since 2024 as an ambassador, often appearing in campaigns centered around his relationship with music. Last year, he helped launch their Pi8 in-ear wireless earbuds.
For Bowers & Wilkins, best known for its high-end loudspeakers, the move builds on its growing headphone business, which has seen steady gains as the company competes in a saturated market of heavy hitters such as Apple, Sony and Bose. The Px8 debuted in 2022, with the S2 upgrade arriving earlier this year.
Celebrity-driven hardware launches have become increasingly common as companies look forways to stand out in a crowded audio market. Beats is particularly known for teaming up with bold-faced names, boasting partnerships with Kim Kardashian, Billie Eilish, Pharrell Williams, Gwen Stefani and dozens others over the years. Most recently, the Dr. Dre-owned brand partnered with Jennie on a special-edition version of their Beats Solo 4 headphones, since sold out.
