Bose’s Best Headphones Get Wrapped in Cashmere for Luxe Thom Browne Collab
The headphones take inspiration from Browne's tailored suiting and fabrications, while showcasing Bose's audio prowess
Bose and designer Thom Browne have joined forces to create a luxurious upgrade to the brand's QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen). The $950 collaboration, unveiled during Thom Browne's Fall 2026 show in San Francisco on February 6, transforms the familiar tech accessory into a couture fashion statement. Models at the presentation carried and wore the over-the-ear headphones, showcasing the headphones as a stylish component of the collection.
The Bose x Thom Browne QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen) is available for preorder starting September 24, with a launch date of September 28. The collaboration incorporates Browne's signature gray suit elements through cashmere-coated details, four-bar branding, a compact cashmere case, and the designer's signature red, white, and blue stripe.
Beneath the cashmere exterior lies a genuine Bose flagship. The Thom Browne edition retains the superior noise cancellation, lossless USB-C audio, extended battery life, and improved processing found in the QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen). However, the standout feature of this limited edition is the designer's unique reimagining of the headphones as a tailored suit.
The Bose x Thom Browne QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen) offers Bose Immersive Audio and a new Cinema Mode, which creates a more spacious soundstage for movies and video. With built-in microphones and background-noise reduction, the headphones provide high-quality phone calls. Battery life reaches up to 30 hours, or 23 hours with Immersive Audio enabled, making these headphones a stylish and sophisticated choice for the fashion-forward audiophile.
