- All current AirPods have got a candy paint from Colorware
- ‘The Mixed Collection’ offers neutral skin colored colors
- But you pay a beautiful crown for makeover
Bored with your regular, ceramic white airpods? Do you want you to get a splash of color into your ears? These new specialty airpod models from Colorware may be what you need. Colorware is a long -standing company that takes new products, gives them a new high quality paint job and sells them to people with a mark.
The new Colorware line gives Apple’s current headphone area a new candy paint, with AirPods 4, AirPods 4 with ANC, AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods Max, all of which take advantage of makeover.
Each model now comes in a variety of neutral options designed to match a few varieties of skin colors, including ‘glaze’ (Lyserosa/cream), ‘Toasty’ (light brown/beige) and ‘Java’ (a DEEPR brown).
It is far from the sharp white coloring of most airpods from the shelf that have changed in shape and design over the years, but otherwise stuck with Apple’s minimalist tone.
Some apple areas push the envelope slightly with their color palette, like the lively iMac M4 line or ‘Desert Titanium’ colored iPhones. And AirPod Max breaks with the Airpod tradition with colorways including silver, sky blue, green and pink.
But in general, Apple is known to stick to a core set of tones for fire consistency, and to make sure its apple-ness is visible from a quick look.
A new era?
We reported earlier how Apple had planned to release AirPods in a mixture of different colors (pink, red, purple, black, blonde) to match the iPhone 7 that was on the market at the time but the tech giant eventually decided To keep things boring – I mean, simple.
Headphones are the most important consumer accessories these days, and shoppers are often forced to buy elsewhere to get the aesthetic they are after – possibly to sacrifice the sound experience in the process. These painted (upcycled?) AirPods offer the best of both worlds with Apple hardware in a fun, new finish.
Of course, other Apple-made headphones do not manage to be so common. The new Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 comes in some fun colors, and Colorware ‘Blended’ area of skin-a-aping tones is very similar to Beats’ collection with Kim Kardashian.
And yes, you pay a prize for these. The custom AirPods 4 -detailed for $ 329, which roughly doubles the original price, while Custom AirPods Pro 2 now costs $ 439 with a similar marking. AirPods Max has seen a 50%price increase, bringing its official price of $ 549 up to $ 849.
Colorway’s Website says the painted AirPods are “only available for a limited time”, so if you are not exposed to the price increase, it may now be time to buy.
