High Fidelity Or Just High Society? Gem-Encrusted Headphones Launch for $140K

If you’ve ever found yourself mid-commute thinking, “What my headphones really need is more carats,” Jacob & Co. and Loewe have a solution with a price tag exceeding six figures.

There are luxury headphones, and then there are these collaboration pieces, which moonlight as crown jewels when not pumping high-fidelity audio straight into your ear canals. The gaudy headphones are the result of a partnership between Jacob & Co., the notorious purveyor of iced-out horology, and Loewe, the German electronics firm known for its upscale audio gear.

It’s a collaboration that straddles the line between innovation and pure audacious pageantry. Unveiled in Monaco, the ultra-limited drop comprises just 10 pairs of headphones, each priced between $120,000 and $140,000, because apparently being wealthy in 2025 means having the privilege of listening to your music through gemstones.

Overall, the collection includes two models. The “Noir Rainbow” features 15.97 carats of rainbow sapphires set in a 14K rose gold ring and the “Ice Diamond,” which is fitted with 12.47 carats of round brilliant-cut diamonds on 14K white gold.

On paper, they’re fully functional, employing advanced active noise cancellation, AI-powered real-time translation, voice-assistant integration and up to 65 hours of battery life, all of which also give the headphones some actual utility, assuming you’d ever consider wearing them outside a mega-yacht. In total, only five pairs of each design will be created.
