Known for crafting listening devices of quality and with pride, Bang & Olufsen returns. This time the Danish audio company has partnered with two-time F1 world champion and double 24 Hours of Le Mans winner Fernando Alonso. They have collaborated on a two-piece collection that blends brilliant sound with Alonso’s racing background. The collection was inspired by Alonso’s past, offering a sleek style and a modern aesthetic.
The two-piece range includes Bang & Olufsen’s recently-released Beoplay E8 Sport Edition wireless earbuds and the Beosound Edge home speaker. The Beosound Edge is limited to just fourteen units, which is a nod to Alonso’s lucky number and the number of his Formula 1 car. The speaker is comprised of a brushed metal perimeter and a matte black fabric cover, both with Alonso’s logo on them. The Beosound Edge can be placed on the floor or hung on the wall.
The Beoplay E8 Sport Edition wireless earbuds are limited to 66 units in honor of Alonso’s Arrow McLaren SP race car number in this year’s Indy 500. The ear-hones are seen in a stunning black hue with a green anodized aluminum ring around the edge. This outlines Alonso and Bang & Olufsen’s logos.
Take a closer look at this exceptional collaboration in the images below and look for the two-piece collection to arrive this September at Bang & Olufsen stores and online. In the meantime, keep it locked with The Culture Curators for more from the tech sector coming very soon.
