Emo all grown up? Got yourself a bit of money? I've found your perfect designer Bose headphones, based on the 5-star QC Ultra (Gen 2)
Bose × Thom Browne QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen) change the design of the Boses, and add a fair markup on top
Bose has unveiled a new line of headphones designed in collaboration with fashion house Thom Browne. The redesigned QuietComfort Headphones (2nd Gen) boasts a cashmere band, tag, and cup stripes, making it a designer label that costs twice as much as the original pair. Fashion-forward music enthusiasts will be thrilled to hear that these premium headphones deliver the same high-quality Bose sound, spatial audio, and noise cancellation, along with added style and comfort.
The new model will be released on September 28, but pre-orders are already available. The headphones come in the exclusive "Smoked Pearl" color option and cost $950 / £760 (approximately AU$1,500), which is more than double the price of the standard model. While the Thom Browne headphones offer enhanced design elements, they share the same five-star Bose-tuned sound and comfort as the regular QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen).
These designer headphones are a splurge for those who have no budget constraints and want to make a statement with their audio accessories. However, audio enthusiasts who want top-tier sound without the designer extras might find the regular QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen) to be a more practical choice.
