perfect marketing for apple, makes the original airpods max look cheap and affordable 😁
It doesn’t look elegant. It emphasises the owner’s status as an absolute prat. And it tells me all I need to know about their taste.
If I had $108,000 spare, I’d get the best Grados for £1,795, made from mahogany, get another spare one, a nice pre-amplifier for each, and put the remaining $100,000 in the bank.

What? I'm finding this hard to believe but as far as I can see from the photo they haven't put any diamonds on the Crown. How can they possibly release these without a diamond-encrusted crown? Times must be hard. Standards are really slipping in the world of the super-rich. Maybe this is the poor person's version.
Well... There are people on here that claim to have 7 figure salaries, and I imagine the complaints they originally had about the AirPod Max price was that it simply wasn't high enough for them.
Now they can roll around looking a bit like Christina Aguilera in the Ain't No Other Man music video while laughing at the peasants in the cheap version.
Does anybody really buy this? I feel like they do it on purpose for free publicity. The only person I imagine buying this is a person loaded with money laundry&Drug money, not only because he got his money easy but he is corrupt in the mind too.
It's the "NOTICE ME!" accessory for the cheesiest of travelers.
Rather than being a company that sells actual luxury goods to the actual wealthy, Caviar and its products seem to be conceived from an almost ironic POV of what "rich people are like" as depicted in pop culture (see also: Scrooge McDuck literally swimming in piles of gold). So either Caviar et al are completely clueless, or are delightfully cynical and have a real sense of humor. If it's the latter, I tip my top hat to them.
Hey, if they manage to sell these, I respect their ability to separate rich people from their money.
How else would they show off how classy and rich they are? Honestly 99% of the things the super rich buy are downright ugly lol.Not again........
I simply can't understand why would anyone be purchasing from them when literally most (if not all) of their designs were horrible.........
Guess money can't buy you taste and sensibility
In the words of normal sane people, the pure gold design "looks hideous, emphasizes the stupidity of the owners and their complete lack of taste," for people who "want to look stupid in the eyes of everyone else."
people, people, people....when are you going to learn? Caviar may never sell one of these. This is a marketing ploy. They announce, release a render, get free avertising on MR (and lots of other places), and get lots of ppl talking about them on forums. This spreads brand recognition and drives ppl to their website. Some of those ppl might end up buying a more reasonably-priced pair of $1K sneakers. Marketing success! (oops, I just let ppl know they sell sneakers, too - oh well, more brand awareness = MORE MONEY for Caviar)
