Hermès debuts $15,000 headphones with Kelly details
Hermès will debut its first high-end headphones this summer, crafted by its in-house Ateliers Horizons workshop. Featuring minimalist design and signature hand-stitched calfskin, the headphones include metal details inspired by the Kelly bag and come in five classic colors: natural, black, chocolate, Hermès Rouge H, and Prussian blue. Production will be limited at the Pantin workshop near Paris, with an extended timeline to ensure near-custom quality. Technically, the headphones support Bluetooth 5.3 and wired modes, house 40mm dynamic drivers, cover a 10Hz–40kHz range, have 32Ω impedance, dual-microphone noise cancellation, and offer up to 30 hours of battery life. Hermès says the sound has been tuned to reflect the brand’s own acoustic identity. The headphones will retail for $15,000.
