Hermès is bringing haute craftsmanship to high fidelity with the launch of its first-ever luxury headphones. Created by the French house’s elite Ateliers Horizons division, the $15,000 headphones blend audio innovation with signature Hermès artistry. Inspired by the metallic finishes and handstitched leathers of the iconic Kelly bag, each pair is a statement in sound and style.
Designed under the direction of Axel de Beaufort, Horizons’ creative lead since 2012, the headphones reflect the workshop’s flair for unexpected commissions. The new audio accessory joins a growing lineup of imaginative items from the atelier, including surfboards, hammocks and even disco balls. Every detail, from the stitching to the saddle-grade leather, channels Hermès’ legacy of meticulous craftsmanship.
With just a handful of these headphones expected to be produced, they serve not only as a functional audio device but as an object of design, signaling a bold move by Hermès deeper into the world of personal tech.
