SOUND DESIGN

On the list of unexpected collaborations you need to have, Dior Homme x Sennheiser is right at the top.

EVERYONE WANTS TO look like a rock star, but sometimes the leather jacket–black jeans thing is a bit on the nose. Thankfully, a range of headphones designed by Dior Homme in collaboration with the audio pros at Sennheiser give music fans a way to exhibit rock and roll swagger without going overboard. The collection assembles several different bandmates: a set of compact earbuds; a pair of Bluetooth headphones that come bundled with either a matching carrying case or a full backpack; and a wired, at-home pair that plug into a custom amp. The latter, made of brushed metal with a back band cushioned in black calfskin, are the group’s breakout star.
