Streetwear retail giant KITH works in collaboration with Bose on a collaborative audio device that takes Bose's Ultra Open Earbuds as the main foundation. This is a push into the realm of audio design as Ronnie Fieg, founder of KITH explains “When it came to creating our version. I wanted to keep the design very minimalistic so we could let the shape be the focus.”
The new earbuds are a fusion of fashion and music, which are often seen hand in hand. As a result, it features a matte-black tone throughout the exterior to shine a focus on the natural beauty of the organic earbud shape. It is then detailed with branding accents in a contrasting white.
