Hermès is introducing premium workmanship to high fidelity with the debut of their inaugural luxury headphones. Crafted by the exclusive Ateliers Horizons section of the French firm, the $15,000 headphones integrate audio innovation with distinctive Hermès creativity. Drawing inspiration from the metallic finishes and hand-stitched leathers of the legendary Kelly purse, each pair serves as a declaration of auditory and aesthetic distinction.

Crafted under the guidance of Axel de Beaufort, Horizons' creative director since 2012, the headphones embody the workshop's penchant for unconventional projects. The latest audio accessory complements an expanding collection of innovative products from the atelier, such as surfboards, hammocks, and disco balls. Each detail, from the stitching to the saddle-quality leather, embodies Hermès' tradition of painstaking craftsmanship.

With a limited production of these headphones, they work as both an audio device and a design piece, indicating Hermès' audacious foray into the realm of personal technology.
