And while we’re at luxury done right…
Legendary couture manufacturer Dior Homme and audio specialist Sennheiser have collaborated to make the ultimate appeal to the senses: Dior Homme x Sennheiser, a collection of pieces whose sonic performance is every bit as fine as their streamlined design. The collection includes special editions of the reference class Sennheiser HD 800 S headphones, the HDVD 800 headphone amplifier, the PXC 550 Wireless noise-cancelling travel headphones and the high-end IE 800 ear-canal headphones. Each model features an exclusive finish by Dior Homme – an elegant black and anthracite design that is thrillingly accentuated with signature red detailing. The special editions are available as part of four solutions – Home, Travel, Daily and Pocket – each of which present Sennheiser’s products in an exquisitely crafted range of Dior Homme storage furniture, leather bags and pouches.

Through ceaseless innovation to deliver the ultimate audio experience, Sennheiser has become the choice of the discerning audio connoisseur.

We have combined our respective areas of passion and expertise to make the ultimate appeal to the senses. The Dior Homme x Sennheiser collection combines sophisticated bold aesthetics, exquisite materials and the cutting edge of audio technology.”

Commenting on the collaboration, Kris van Assche, artistic director of Dior Homme, explains: “Music has always been an integral part of my creative process and also an extended journey during my shows. The collaboration with Sennheiser seemed as a natural and a logical outcome.”
