<p>Hermès, the French luxury fashion house known for its iconic Birkin bags and hand-stitched leather goods, has released a pair of<a target="_blank" class="editor-link" href="https://www.pulse.ng/articles/pulse-picks/headphones-with-noteworthy-warranties-2025051112194190071"><mark style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: inherit;" class="pen"><u> over-ear headphones</u></mark></a> that cost a jaw-dropping $15,000 (roughly ₦20 million), placing them in a price category far above Apple, Sony, or even audiophile brands like Bang &amp; Olufsen.</p>

<p>They come in luxe shades like chocolate and Prussian blue, and you'll only find them in select Hermès boutiques for a jaw-dropping $15,000.</p><p>This isn’t Hermès’ first take on audio equipment. They’ve created AirPods cases, collaborated with Bang &amp; Olufsen, and even experimented with jukeboxes and boomboxes. So yeah, they know how to make sound look expensive.</p>

<p><strong>Read Also:</strong> <a target="_blank" class="editor-link" href="https://www.pulse.ng/articles/pulse-picks/headphones-with-noteworthy-warranties-2025051112194190071"><mark style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: inherit;" class="pen"><u>9 Headphone Brands That Actually Honour Their Warranties</u></mark></a></p>

<a href="undefined" target="_blank">undefined</a>

<h2><strong>What Makes Hermès Headphones Unique</strong></h2>

<p>These are not your regular tech store headphones. Officially created by Hermès Horizons, the brand’s bespoke luxury division, these <a target="_blank" class="editor-link" href="https://www.highsnobiety.com/p/hermes-headphones/"><u>Hermès over-ear headphones</u></a> are more than just a tool for listening to music; they're a statement piece.</p>

<p>Hermès Horizons usually work on custom interior projects for yachts, planes, and luxury cars. So, when they turned their attention to a sound device, it was clear they weren’t just going to make something ordinary. The result is these big leather-wrapped headphones designed with the same attention to detail as a designer handbag.</p>

<p><mark style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.74); background-color: inherit;" class="pen">“<i>The idea is not to be able to replicate that 10,000 times as a big headset supplier would do. The idea is to have the few that we will do made perfectly, and that has been a very long learning process</i>,” </mark><a target="_blank" class="editor-link" href="https://www.techeblog.com/hermes-ateliers-horizons-headphones-specs-price-release-date/"><mark style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.74); background-color: inherit;" class="pen">says Axel de Beaufort</mark></a><mark style="color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.74); background-color: inherit;" class="pen">, creative director of Ateliers Horizons since 2012.</mark></p>

<p>The headphones have a simple, clean design; no big logos or bold branding. Instead, they’re wrapped in high-quality Hermès leather, hand-stitched with care and precision. Everything from the shape to the finish reflects the brand’s heritage in craftsmanship.</p>

<h2><strong>Why Do Hermès Headphones Cost $15,000?</strong></h2>

<p>It’s a fair question. After all, you could buy over 50 regular headphones for that price, or even a car. So, what are you actually paying for?</p>

<ul><li><p><strong>The Leather:</strong><br>Hermès is known for its leather, and this product is no exception. The same leather used in their Birkins and wallets covers the earcups and headband. It’s soft, luxurious, and stitched by skilled artisans. This alone dramatically increases the production cost.<br></p></li><li><p><strong>The Craftsmanship</strong><br>Unlike mass-produced tech gadgets, Hermès headphones are handmade. Each pair undergoes hours of meticulous work by the 50-man strong craftspeople team, ensuring a high level of detail and durability. Just like their bags, the appeal lies in knowing that the product wasn’t rushed or made on an assembly line.<br></p></li><li><p><strong>Exclusivity</strong><br>Hermès isn’t targeting the average consumer with this product. These headphones are for collectors, celebrities, and high-net-worth individuals who value exclusivity. Limited availability adds to the appeal; only a few people in the world will ever own them.<br></p></li><li><p><strong>The Brand Itself</strong><br>A big part of the price is the Hermès name, to be honest. You're paying for the legacy, the history, and the prestige that comes with the brand. It’s the same reason people spend ₦10 million on a handbag. The name alone holds value in fashion and luxury culture.</p></li></ul>

<h2><strong>What About Hermès Headphones' Sound Quality?</strong></h2>

<p>So far, Hermès hasn’t released detailed technical specifications for the headphones. That means no confirmed info on battery life, drivers, or <a target="_blank" class="editor-link" href="https://www.pulse.ng/search-results?keywords=Headphones#:~:text=Escape%20the%20Noise%20With%20These%2011%20Noise%2DCancelling%20Headphones"><mark style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: inherit;" class="pen"><u>noise cancellation</u></mark></a> levels. </p>

<p>For ₦20 million, they’ll most likely deliver premium-quality audio. But make no mistake, these headphones were not produced to compete with Apple’s AirPods Max or Sony’s WH-1000XM5 in terms of features. They were designed to represent style and luxury above all else.</p><p>However, if you're looking for headphones that combine great sound, smart features, and a nice design, Apple’s AirPods Max is a great choice. They sound amazing, cancel noise well, and still look sleek.</p>

<p><strong>Price:</strong> ₦1,099,000 <strong>Where To Buy: </strong>Shop <a target="_blank" class="editor-link" href="https://www.istore.com.ng/products/airpods-max?srsltid=AfmBOopv6Z6K44ipyV8sZzBqL7zVsgb1RjycchmXuSGDQlPWYePqnOdz"><mark style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: inherit;" class="pen"><u>iStore</u></mark></a></p>

<h2><strong>Who Are Hermès Headphones For?</strong></h2>

<p>These headphones are not designed for the average person who wants good music while commuting or working. Instead, they’re aimed at a very specific group:</p><ul><li><p>Luxury collectors</p></li><li><p>Hermès loyalists</p></li><li><p>High-income individuals who enjoy rare, custom-made items</p></li><li><p>Celebrities, stylists, or entertainers who want to stand out</p></li></ul><p>These are individuals who may already own Hermès products and view this as another distinctive addition to their lifestyle.</p>

<h2><strong>Hermès’ Growing Interest in Tech</strong></h2>

<p>This isn’t the first time Hermès has dabbled in technology. In previous years, they <a target="_blank" class="editor-link" href="https://www.elle.com/fashion/accessories/a62450552/apple-hermes-collaboration-interview-2024/"><u>partnered with Apple</u></a> to produce premium Hermès Apple Watch straps and AirPods cases. The designs were elegant, subtle, and covered in signature leather, just like the new headphones.</p><p>The Hermès AirPods Pro Case in Mauve Pale is a luxurious accessory crafted from Swift calfskin leather, designed to complement your AirPods Pro with elegance and sophistication.</p>

<p>With these moves, Hermès is gradually expanding from fashion into the luxury tech lifestyle space. They’re not trying to be a tech company. Instead, they’re offering tech-adjacent items that match their design values, quality, craftsmanship, and status. The headphones are simply the latest step in this direction.</p>

<h2><strong>Are Hermès Headphones Worth Buying?</strong></h2>

<p>For buyers of high-end items like Hermès headphones, the answer isn’t always based on practicality. It’s about having something rare, custom-made, and symbolises a certain lifestyle. These headphones are not competing on price or features; they’re playing in a different league entirely.</p><p>So while most people are comparing ₦100,000 headphones on Temu or debating between JBL and Sony, Hermès is selling a completely different experience. </p>

<h3><strong>The Rise of Luxury Tech Accessories</strong></h3>

<p>Hermès isn’t the only fashion brand tapping into the tech space. Over the past few years, we’ve seen more luxury-meets-tech collabs:</p>

<p><mark style="color: rgb(25, 25, 25); background-color: inherit;" class="pen">Like these Louis Vuitton Horizon wireless earphones - Limited Edition White.</mark></p><p><strong>Price: </strong>$525<strong> Where To Buy: </strong>Shop <a target="_blank" class="editor-link" href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/394028770913"><mark style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: inherit;" class="pen"><u>Ebay</u></mark></a></p>

<p>Gucci’s custom Apple Watch straps and phone cases. The sport bands work with all Apple Watch models—from Series 1 to 10, including SE and Ultra 2. They fit sizes 38mm to 49mm and are perfect for both men and women.</p><p><strong>Price: </strong>$12.99<strong> Where To Buy: </strong>Shop <a target="_blank" class="editor-link" href="https://www.amazon.com/Designer-Compatible-Silicone-Replacement-Wristband/dp/B0B8HJ7ZCP/ref=sr_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.59r51JFWztPM7DoMm1wlkjnvvPV_dgLjl7YdDqikN2QkNIvz_4q_fVXhNgzqmb2SKF2SwhnOPN31LezSu9GGJU9gg11C3-XbBPfInHDUP97oMbiJnvgNVM82FCXwudwsOzjV6zRI1FjnxGIka2URit9wfnGQV0K9JiSFeGGqykK_eKxBVzWQDA32LCounJWRkSkFz3Y1XOF6S-12WkCA_cjzLcvxmfSM1ECqYi2_D5w.Q9uXoLdlbt7_ONeTo8RL1HWNQJoaJ3-B2GavHju5iwM&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;keywords=gucci%2Bapple%2Bwatch%2Bband&amp;qid=1748448685&amp;sr=8-1&amp;th=1"><mark style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: inherit;" class="pen"><u>Amazon</u></mark></a></p>

<p>Balenciaga’s limited-edition speaker bags</p><p>It’s a trend that continues to grow, people want their tech accessories to say as much about their personality as their outfit does. And if you can afford it, there’s now a designer version of almost every gadget.</p>

<p>Ultimately, the Hermès headphones are here to make a statement. They’re for the person who already owns custom cars, luxury watches, and designer accessories. The person who values form over function, or at wants both at the highest possible level.</p><p>And while most people will never own them, one thing is clear: Hermès just set a new bar for luxury audio accessories, and the world is watching.</p>

Handmade, leather-clad, and $15,000: Hermès’ new headphones are loud in every sense.

<blockquote><p>I haven't been coping, to be honest. Every time people ask me about that, I just say that I'm as good as can be. What used to be my norm was centred around my mum and now it's difficult to find that balance or what my norm is. I'm also trying to find new normals and I don't think that would ever go away.

She sadly passed away in November 2024.

It's difficult to find a new balance - BBNaija's Hermes on losing his mum [Exclusive]

<h2>Big Brother Naija alumnus Hermes Iyele has taken to social media to announce the sad passing of his mother, Isioma.</h2>

<p>On November 6, 2024, the reality TV star shared a heartfelt post on Instagram, stating that he felt compelled to make the news public as he began his grieving process. He posted pictures of his mum and also an account number, requesting financial assistance for the funeral proceedings.</p>

<p>His caption read,<em> "It is with the heaviest of hearts that I’d like to make public the passing of my beloved mum ISIOMA PHEBIAN IYELE on the 5th of November 2024. I’m doing this so I can properly start my grief and also because I currently lack the strength or capacity (mentally and finance-wise) to handle this situation. Pls pray for my siblings and I. Pls support us in all the ways you can."</em></p>

<p>Hermes revealed that he received the sad news while on a work trip, which immediately destabilised him. He then requested patience and understanding from his fans during his grieving process.</p>

<p>He wrote<em>, "I’m currently on a work trip and got the news in transit. I’m trying as much as I can to function in the regard of duty that has brought me here whilst trying to do my part of what needs to be done to see this tragedy through, so pls be patient with me as I won’t be able to respond to calls and texts for the time being. We will start the burial process as soon as I’m back."</em></p>

<h2><strong>One of the world-famous French fashion brands has been accused of using illegal practices.&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p>The Hermès fashion house was supposed to sell the legendary Birkin handbags only to selected customers.&nbsp;They first had to earn the privilege of purchasing them.</p>

<p>Two California residents have filed a lawsuit against the Hermès brand, claiming that the company limits access to Birkin handbags only to those customers who can boast of a relevant purchase history at its store.&nbsp;Thus, it uses sales bundling practices that are illegal in the US and violates antitrust law, reports <em>The Guardian</em>.</p>

<h3>A symbol of luxury not for everyone</h3>

<p>According to the lawsuit, company employees <em>"drive"</em> sales by persuading customers to buy shoes, scarves, jewellery and other items in order to gain the right to see the iconic Birkin.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The characteristic hand-sewn leather handbag has been a symbol of luxury and prestige in some circles for many years. It can reach prices of up to several hundred thousand dollars. It is difficult to get in a regular store, and it is not sold online. The process of selling a handbag is a kind of ceremony that not everyone can experience.</p>

<p>According to the information contained in the lawsuit, customers who <em>"deserve"</em> to buy a Birkin are invited to private rooms where they can view them.&nbsp;Hermès salespeople do not receive a commission on the sale of the bags and are instructed to use the bags <em>"to compel consumers to purchase additional products."</em></p>

<p>The authors of the lawsuit are seeking class-action status for thousands of American consumers who were <em>"forced"</em> to purchase other Hermès products in order to buy the Birkin handbag.&nbsp;Neither Hermès nor the plaintiffs' lawyers have yet commented on the lawsuit.</p>

<p>In his words, <em>"I know a lot of you have been checking up on me since I posted on my story, I was involved in an accident yesterday, and everyone came out of it safe. So there is nothing to worry about"</em></p>

<p>He noted that he was still experiencing side effects from the encounter, but reassured everyone that he was okay. Concluding the video, he thanked his supporters for their care.</p>

<p>Hermes said, <em>"I can't thank God enough for that. That was scary, I'm still a bit shaken up. Thank you for your concern and well wishes."</em></p>

<h3>In the video made by Hermes Iyele, he expresses his distress and concern over the recent demolition of buildings in Oworonshoki, Lagos State.</h3>

<p>He mentions that the community where he used to stay is being demolished, and this is causing a lot of suffering for the residents. Many of them are struggling to make ends meet and are forced to start their lives anew with nothing.</p>

<p>The reality star epressed his difficulty in understanding why this is happening, and he is troubled by the fact that families and children are also being affected by the demolition.</p>

<p><em>"Anything we can do to help, please let us help as fast as possible",</em> he called on the public for quick action.</p>

<p>The demolition was carried out on Oluwaseyi Street, and it has left residents homeless, seeking shelter in churches and uncompleted buildings in other areas.</p>

<p>According to the Lagos State Government's Chief Press Secretary, the demolition was focused on removing shanties and criminal hideouts in the area. The government claims that they did not demolish the homes of the people, but rather the structures that were used as shanties.</p>

<p>However, there are reports that during the demolition, some task force members, along with police officers, allegedly collected money (N1,000) from the affected residents to help them evacuate their belongings before the demolition.</p>
