The special edition headphones were made in partnership and inspired by the designs of Paria Farzaneh, an English-Iranian designer based in London. Alongside their unique yellow and dark purple pattern printed on the Powerbeats Pro case and headphones themselves, the Bluetooth earbuds also come in a unique box and with special stickers.


The special edition headphones, like the normal PowerBeats Pro themselves, costs $250 and is currently exclusively available on SSENSE. Apple is currently holding a special offer for the regular Powerbeats Pro on its website for $200.

I have no issue with Apple letting designers get funky with accessories. Just please keep them away from the MacBooks - the ghost of Jony Ive still haunts our memories.
 
If Apple thinks a premium price should be justified for a design like this, at least let buyers have different designs to choose from or dare I say, develop a process where people can design their own.

I'm not in the market, but I kinda like 'em. I guess there really is no accounting for taste.
You probably live in the bright pink house down the block? Truthfully, though, I've seen a house that was painted black. So, you're right...
