Editor Pick: Bose x Thom Browne Quietcomfort Ultra Headphones
by Charles Manning · Daily Front Row234
Upgrade your headphone game and keep your ears nice and toasty all winter long with this stylish collab straight off the Thom Browne Fall 2026 runway!
What:
These noise-cancelling headphones utilize cashmere cushions and come with a compact zip cashmere case. They also feature classic Thom Browne branding in the form of four white stripes on the outside of one of the earcups and the carrying case itself, interior red, white, and blue striping reminiscent of the lining of a classic Thom Browne suit, and, of course, the brands iconic red, white, and blue grosgrain loop.
Who:
In 2001, Thom Browne began his business with five suits in a small “by appointment” shop in New York City’s West Village and, in the years following, expanded his business to include complete ready-to-wear and accessories collections for both men (2003) and women (2011). Browne has also become known for his highly conceptual runway presentations, which have gained global attention for their thought-provoking and dramatic themes and settings. He’s been honored with the CFDA Menswear Designer of the Year Award four times (2006, 2013, 2016, and 2025) and was nominated for the Womenswear Designer of the Year Award in 2024.
Bose, meanwhile, has been pioneering research and engineering excellence in audio tech for more than 60 years and are synonymous with luxury and high quality performance.
Why:
Hot off Thom Browne’s Fall 2026 runway presentation, these headphones are designed for comfort as much as they are for style. They are just the thing for keeping your ears warm while you’re out and about during the cooler months and they are designed to rest flat around the neck when not in use.
