These flagship Bluetooth noise-cancelling headphones usher you into a high-energy world through technical achievement, not trickery.

—arrive in a fold-flat hardshell carrying case embossed with a matte rubberized “Bowers & Wilkins” across it—the subtle difference being the zipper pull of the Px8 is leather versus fabric. Both are accompanied by a 1.2mm USB-C to USB-C cable and a 1.2m USB-C to 3.5mm stereo jack audio cable.

Like the carry case that echoes the ear cups’ oval shape, “Bowers & Wilkins” is emblazoned on the exterior. As you might expect, this textured branding means no touch controls.

Whereas the Px7 S2 is clad in woven fabric, the Px8’s precision-cut brushed aluminum ear cups and adjustable headband are trimmed in buttery Nappa leather . The cast-aluminum arms of the Px8 have a patina that stands out from the Px7’s matte black.

Pairing is as simple as you’d expect: Push the ON/OFF/Bluetooth toggle to the top and briefly hold till you hear a pinging. The Px8 will then be discoverable on your device.

2 women sue Apple, alleging stalkers used AirTags to track themLawsuit claims the bluetooth devices have 'revolutionized the scope, breadth and ease of location-based stalking.' A fork can be used to kill. Should we sue fork manufacturers? Someone should come up with an App that will tell you if an AirTag type device is around you for an extended period of time. Say.... 20 minutes, then your phone gives an alarm telling you an AirTag type device is near you. LoL that not the company fault ladies. Your President made my company security weak. Sue him.

Unveiled in December 2017 by McLaren, the Senna is a limited-run machine with just 500 models in existence. Borrowing elements from the 720s, the Senna builds upon that platform and brings more power, more presence and extensive aerodynamics that make it both clinical to drive and beautiful to look at. The Twin-Turbo V8 engine generates a staggering 789bhp! This means the Senna is good for 0-62mph time of just 2.8 seconds and a top speed of 208mph. This 2019 (19) example has covered just 3,600 miles from new, has had just two owners in its lifetime and it also comes with the benefit of a McLaren Warranty running until May 2023. No expens No it's not It's actually bloody awful Yes, Senna raced those colours but on a Lotus You want a Senna-themed McLaren - paint it red white diagonal stripes, big, broad stripes Reminds me of smokey and the bandit
