Bang & Olufsen Unveils Exclusive Ferrari Collection
The HiFi experts have partnered with motorsport legends Ferrari to create a new line of wireless headphones and speakers.
Bang & Olufsen and Ferrari have collaborated on a new line of exclusive headphones and speakers, including red Ferrari-themed versions of the Beosound 2 and Beosound Explore speakers, Beoplay H95 headphones and Beoplay EX earphones.
Kristian Teär, CEO of Bang & Olufsen, explained the concept: “The energy behind this partnership is electrifying. It’s not just about today; it’s about the echo of history as we came together to craft this fusion […] The ties go back to the origins of both B&O and Ferrari. Enzo Ferrari, Peter Bang, and Svend Olufsen were pioneers who redefined norms, and their legacies continue to push our brands to new heights even now”.
Beosound 2
The Beosound 2 employs a 360-degree soundscape with Active RoomSense for perfect audio reproduction, whether mounted on floors, tables, or shelves. The Ferrari Collection version of this superb speaker gets a makeover in signature Ferrari red, along with iconic prancing horse emblems etched into its aluminum body.
Beoplay H95 Headphones
The H95 headphone’s titanium drivers deliver a weighty audio punch, while adaptive active noise cancellation can be dialed in by rotating the earcup’s outer aluminum ring. These sumptuous over-ear headphones are good for 38 hours of playback, and for the Ferrari edition, sport hints of red anodizing and more of those legendary horse emblems.
Beosound Explore
The Beosound Explore is a portable outdoor speaker engineered with a dust and waterproof IP67 rating. Bluetooth connectivity and Fast Pairing ensure a simple setup, while the built-in battery offers 27 hours of music on the go. For the Ferrari collaboration, the Beosound Explore features laser-etched prancing horse emblems and bold red anodizing on the body and grille.
Beoplay EX
The Beoplay EX wireless earphones offer supreme noise cancellation, unrivaled sound, and a wireless charging case for 20 hours of playback. Six microphones and beam-forming technology ensure that music and voice calls sound perfect, while Ferrari emblems in black foil set under glass put these headphones on another level.
The Ferrari Collection is available online from Bang & Olufsen’s website and Ferrari Store, as well as select Bang & Olufsen and Ferrari retail outlets.

Samsung Smart Glasses Teased For January, Software Reveal Imminent
According to Korean sources, the new wearable will launch alongside the Galaxy S25, with the accompanying software platform unveiled this December.
Samsung appears poised to introduce its highly anticipated smart glasses in January 2025, alongside the launch of the Galaxy S25. According to sources in Korea, the company will first reveal the accompanying software platform later this month.
As per a report from Yonhap News, Samsung’s unveiling strategy for the smart glasses echoes its approach with the Galaxy Ring earlier this year. The January showcase won’t constitute a full product launch but will likely feature teaser visuals at the Galaxy S25 event. A more detailed rollout could follow in subsequent months.

The Galaxy Ring, for example, debuted in January via a short presentation during Samsung’s Unpacked event. The full product unveiling came later at MWC in February, and the final release followed in July. Samsung seems to be adopting a similar phased approach with its smart glasses, which are expected to hit the market in the third quarter of 2025.
A Collaborative Software Effort
Samsung’s partnership with Google has played a key role in developing the smart glasses’ software. This collaboration was first announced in February 2023, with the device set to run on an Android-based platform. In July, the companies reiterated their plans to deliver an extended reality (XR) platform by the end of the year. The software specifics for the XR device are expected to be unveiled before the end of December.
Reports suggest that the smart glasses will resemble Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses in functionality. They won’t include a display but will weigh approximately 50 grams, emphasizing a lightweight, user-friendly design.
Feature Set And Compatibility
The glasses are rumored to integrate Google’s Gemini technology, alongside features like gesture recognition and potential payment capabilities. Samsung aims to create a seamless user experience by integrating the glasses with its broader Galaxy ecosystem, starting with the Galaxy S25, slated for release on January 22.
