Features of the Ferrari Collection
The four products in the B&O Ferrari collection offers a wide range of audio experience, with each product designed for a specific need. Going from room to pocket to the sky, there is a product for just about everyone.
The Beosound 2 Home Speaker is a room speaker, designed to deliver 360 degrees of audio. The speaker can be linked as part of a network – thanks to the built-in Wi-fi, and can be easily moved from room to room to different zones set up by the user. The Active RoomSense and built-in proximity sensors can automatically adjust the audio to fit the room. Built mainly out of virgin aluminium from Germany, the Beosound 2fatures a subwoofer, two drivers that fire to the sides of the cone, and a tweeter underneath the volume control knob on the top. Just to emphasize the collaboration, the iconic Ferrari logo is prominently printed in the middle of the speaker – not to mention the adonized red on the outside of the speaker.
For travel, B&O offers the Beoplay H95, the brand’s flagship headphone. Built with premium materials such as cow and lambskin leather, the headphones offer up to 38 hours of listening time with adaptive ANC off. It is also clad in the signature Ferrari jet black, with laser-etched Ferrari and B&O logos on the outside of the earcups while a knurled control dial is nestled just above the lambskin earcup.
B&O also has the Beosound Explore portable speaker as part of the collection. It is rated IP67 for water and dust resistance, and it can last up to 27 hours on a single charge. Pair two Explore together to create a stereo sound mode. Like the others in the series, the speaker is clad in adonised aluminium in red and black – two classic Ferrari colours.
Lastly, the Beoplay EX is the brand’s true wireless earphone. It features active noise cancellation to cut down external noise while listening to music. The built-in six microphones, paired with beam-forming technology means it can take calls as well as it can play music. As part of the Ferrari collection, the earbuds are coloured in red, with the prancing horse sitting under a dome of glass and polished to a mirror-like shine.
