Leave it to Hermès to make listening a luxury experience

Hermès is making a serious style statement with its first-ever pair of luxury headphones – and yes, they’ll set you back $15,000. Created by the brand’s ultra-exclusive Ateliers Horizons division, these headphones are all about craftsmanship, design, and that unmistakable Hermès flair.

Inspired by the iconic Kelly bag, the design features hand-stitched leather, sleek metallic elements, and the kind of refined detailing that turns a tech accessory into a collectible you’ll have forever.

The luxury headphones will come in signature Hermès shades like naturel (dark beige), black, chocolate, rouge H (deep red), and Prussian blue, all subtle nods to the brand’s heritage.

Even though this launch is a bold move, it isn’t Hermès’ first foray into the audio space. The brand previously collaborated with Bang & Olufsen on headphones and even designed custom leather cases for Apple AirPods. 

The Ateliers Horizons team has also explored sound in unexpected ways before, crafting one-of-a-kind pieces like leather-wrapped jukeboxes and even a luxury boombox.

In other words, Hermès has been quietly tuning into the world of audio for years. But this time, they’ve simply turned up the volume.

As of now, most technical specs are still under wraps, but the emphasis here is clearly on design. With only a limited number expected to be made, these headphones are aimed at collectors, Hermès loyalists, and anyone looking to elevate their everyday essentials in the most luxurious way possible.

They officially launch this summer. So if you’ve ever wanted your headphones to match your Kelly bag, now’s your chance.

I always have that moment, right before I zip my carry-on bag shut, when I wonder if I’ve packed too much, forgotten something important, or just generally screwed it up. It’s a mix of “I think I nailed this” and “I’ll regret this in 12 hours.”

We’ve all been there.

The best places for solo travel in the USA: Where to go when you’re flying solo
Wander alone, but never feel lonely
Boston

Solo travel is having a moment, and for good reason. There’s something incredibly freeing about waking up in a new place with zero compromises on what to do, see, or eat. Personally, I love solo trips because I get to follow my own schedule (or ditch it entirely), try new things, and meet people I might never have crossed paths with otherwise. And while Europe gets a lot of buzz for solo adventures, there are tons of amazing destinations stateside, too. From historic cities like Boston to laid-back beach towns and scenic mountain escapes, these are some of the best places for solo travel in the USA.

This country is the top spot for disconnecting from digital life
Looking to unplug?
India

In a world where constant connectivity can feel overwhelming, some countries offer the perfect escape to slow down and truly disconnect. MyCross recently analyzed around 40 countries based on factors like wellness retreats, internet usage and speed, safety, national parks, population density, and walkability to identify the best places for a slower-paced lifestyle. Topping the list is India, scoring a perfect 100.

India stands out for its staggering 360 wellness retreats, including renowned destinations like Six Senses Fort Barwara and Kerala’s Ayurvedic resorts. Despite its high population density, India’s digital saturation remains relatively low, with only 56% of people using the internet and average speeds of 66 Mbps, making it easier to unplug and focus inward.
