Despite the size of the names in the partnership, namely Emirates and Bowers & Wilkins, the latest product, the E1, is not the one that we are most awaited for as it comes with the engines of the wireless P7, with tuning and improvement for Emirates’ First Class Private Suites.

The company’s engineers have spent several hours improving the noise cancellation features of the E1, which the manufacturers say will eliminate engine noise altogether.
The headset is designed to rest your ears throughout the flight with foam cushions in the headband and earcup beside the soft leather design.
The handset was launched along with the launch of the new Boeing 777 cabin so that passengers can enjoy the trip by watching movies or listening to music on the flight with the first-class speakers and will be available upon launch in December.
For those booking the economy seats, they can get the B&W PX or AKG NC60NC Wireless speakers and other headsets with noise cancellation that allow them to enjoy the trip without listening to the sounds of the engines.
