Arca has revealed a new line of BDSM-inspired leather headphones, which cost $6,450 ($US) a pair.

The experimental electronic music producer has unveiled the Tormenta Cage Headphone Head Piece, which looks like a cage-styled headpiece and comes in structured buffed leather in black. The design features “studded detailing throughout,” integrated over-the-ear headphones with suede-covered cushioned ear pads, “D-ring hardware at face” and “twin adjustable post-stud fastenings at collar.”

Created in collaboration with London-based leather company Fleet Ilya and available exclusively at Canadian luxury fashion retailer SSENSE, the headphone line is being sold “exclusively as an art object” and without any guarantees or warranty, according to the SSENSE website.

Arca announced the headphone line via Instagram with a cheeky caption that read, “hey i designed some headphones it’s casual they’re really cheap pick up a pair or don’t or whatever either way i’m locking you into the sound.” 

In addition to the headphones, Arca has also collaborated with SSENSE on a “capsule collection” of Prada clothing, which includes a $770 ($US) fanny pack.

Last year, Arca released his self-titled album and co-produced Björk’s ninth studio album, ‘Utopia’.
