Soren Kokholm, Head of Bang & Olufsen, SEA said, “We are very excited about this collaboration. There was a strong sense of history in the making as we came together to create it. It goes all the way back to the start for B&O and Ferrari. The founders, Enzo Ferrari, Peter Bang and Svend Olufsen, were visionaries, who redefined their industries by challenging the status quo. Their legacies ring down through the decades to push both brands to new heights to this day. The combination of best-in-class performance, graceful aesthetics and meticulous craftsmanship brought B&O and Ferrari together to create the collection. This is elevated by the unrivalled heritage of both brands, making this collaboration one to remember”.
INSPIRED BY THE SUPERCAR. SOUND TO BE SEEN.
The collection is a departure from Bang & Olufsen’s traditional approach, Senior Vice President of Business Development and Strategic Partnerships at Bang & Olufsen, Christoffer Poulsen, explains: “Our classic speakers are meant to naturally blend in with people’s homes while also standing out for their beautiful design. This collection is different. They’re statement pieces. Much like supercars, they make themselves seen and heard everywhere they go”.
Beosound 2 delivers a 360-degree home audio experience that fills any space it is placed into. Its design is flexible to allow for floor, table or shelf placement, and it can be moved easily from room to room. Active RoomSense and built-in proximity sensors match the beauty of Beosound 2 with smart technology, whilst a high-grade aluminium cone that houses the speaker provides a seamless look, and super sound acoustics. The Beosound 2 is anodised at Bang & Olufsen’s Factory 5 in Struer, reimagining the design in Ferrari signature red. The aluminium body is polished to provide a high shine, enhancing the richness of the red shade. The iconic Ferrari emblem sits below the grille, completing this edition.
Beoplay H95 is Bang & Olufsen’s flagship headphone, providing best-in-class sound and innovation. The custom titanium drivers deliver punchier sound than ever before, and adaptive active noise cancellation allows the wearer to adjust it by simply rotating the earcup aluminium ring. Finished with soft lambskin leather, and 38 hours of non-stop listening, Beoplay H95 is made to last. The headphones incorporate Ferrari’s jet-black shade, a timeless classic, with laser-etched Bang & Olufsen and Ferrari’s Prancing Horse logos to match. Under the earcups, the titanium speaker grilles have been anodised in a rich red hue, specifically selected for this collaboration.
Beosound Explore is a portable speaker, perfect for the outdoors. With an IP67 rating, meaning that it is fully dust and waterproof, Beosound Explore is made to be taken anywhere and everywhere. With Bluetooth and Fast Pairing, music is always one click away, and lasts all day with up to 27 hours of playtime. Now, Beosound Explore comes with Ferrari’s laser-etched Prancing Horse, and a striking black carabiner for any adventure. The two-layer body of the speaker is anodised in red and black, so that the grille stands out instantly against the dark interior.
Beoplay EX, Bang & Olufsen’s most powerful true wireless earphones, boast active noise cancellation, unrivalled sound, and come with a wireless charging case for up to 20 hours of on-the-go listening. Six microphones and intelligent beam-forming technology means that Beoplay EX can be used for taking business calls and enjoying music in equal measure. For the Ferrari Collection, the right earbud houses a striking black foiled logo of the Ferrari emblem, sitting under glass poured in the iconic red, cut and polished to provide a mirror-like shine.
