Embellished Designer Headphones

Dolce & Gabbana's Swarowski Crystal Headphones Create Luxe Sound

— March 19, 2015 — Tech
These designer headphones marry style and sound quality and are encrusted with countless Swarowski crystals. First showcased at Milan Fashion Week, the Dolce & Gabbana headphones transform an urban tech staple into a luxe accessory. Marrying function and fashion, Dolce & Gabbana proves that practical objects can also be a staple of one's wardrobe.

The Italian brand has payed homage to their Sicilian heritage in the past few seasons and recreates the floral and jeweled elements of their clothing and shoe items on these designer headphones. The leather-crafted audio accessories can be purchased on Moda Operandi's web shop but will cost fashion fans a cool $7000.

If you're a dedicated music buff with an appreciation for luxury, investing in these headphones isn't such a far-fetched idea.
Trend Themes
1. Luxury Headphone Trend - The merging of style and tech proves successful as high-end designer headphones gain popularity, presenting the opportunity for luxury and fashion brands to expand into the audio accessories industry.
