Bang & Olufsen is reportedly teaming up with premium luggage maker RIMOWA for introducing a limited-edition version of the Beoplay H9i headphones. Having a mutual appreciation for aluminium, the two reputable brands together have decided to craft the limited-edition of the headphones with anodized aluminium and box them in a signature RIMOWA aluminium case. Addition of genuine leather will be an added twist to the product.
Besides, the collaborative Beoplay H9i headphones will feature active noise cancellation and an innovative touch interface.
On the occasion of this collaboration, John Mollanger, Executive Vice President, President Brand and Markets at Bang & Olufsen, said: “The first materialization of our collaboration, the RIMOWA edition of our flagship Beoplay H9i headphones and exclusive RIMOWA carrying case, will make the world travel at the speed of sound.”
RIMOWA’s CEO Alexandre Arnault said: “RIMOWA and Bang & Olufsen share a passionate approach to purposeful and elegant design. Both of them celebrate aluminium in their products. To strengthen the natural relationship between sound and travel, we have proudly partnered to create the RIMOWA x Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H9i headphones.”
In celebration of the collab, RIMOWA and Bang & Olufsen have partnered with Swedish composer and record producer Ludwig Göransso as he stars in the Beoplay H9i campaign as a complementary short film.
The expected date of the product launch is 15th of April, 2019.
