Caviar Introduces Custom 'Pure Gold' AirPods Max for $108,000

[Mishegoss]

So this adds weight and I'm guessing is prone to scratching?

Otherwise it makes perfect sense.

 

[skitidetdu]

I'm skipping this to save up for Caviar's gold plated Apple "Titan" Car.

 

[DiamondarBoss]

Finally! I’ve been waiting for a place to spend $108,000!


What are you saying? Tesla Model X Performance? Can’t hear you! Busy spending that on a pair of Gold Plated Headphones!

 

[testcard]

I wonder how many people actually buy things like this.

1. Rappers
2. Russian Mafia bosses.
3. Footballers.

 

[DiamondarBoss]

1. Rapper
2. Russian Mafia boss.
3. Footballer

4: All of the Above.

 

[Deliro]

So what ridiculous mumble rapper with rainbow colored hair will be the first to sport these?

 

[anubis1980]

I’m sure those wouldn’t get snatched off your head ever...

I'd be too embarrassed to steal them

“These are great, but they are too heavy.”
“Try these.”

It may be pure gold but, it is nothing but dross.

Sennheiser — Headphones, Microphones, Wireless Systems

For over 75 years, our products come with a built-in mission: to stay true to the sound and soul the music was given by its artist.

en-us.sennheiser.com

These bad boys would make a much bigger impression for half the cost, and the sound quality would actually be unmatchable.

I have to once again reiterate something I've said many times before and never fails to be true:

Rich people are downright WEIRD.

One of dad's friends used to say: you're not really rich unless your grandpa was rich. Meaning, wealth as a lifestyle does not come naturally to anyone until they are 3rd-generation wealth. And it also means that it takes 3 generations to thoroughly and fully remove a person from having any connection to the real-world.

This is for those people. $100k doesn't mean the same thing to people whose parents were born into unimaginable wealth, and who were born into that same unimaginable wealth. To them, it's ultra exclusive gaudy headphones, the cost is irrelevant.

 

[libertysat]

I couldn't make up my mind which color so I ordered one of each...

 

[Dominicanyor]

Wow, that’s alto of money 💴 Then again they are gold.

 

[Kabeyun]

I have to once again reiterate something I've said many times before and never fails to be true:

Rich people are downright WEIRD.

And I’m sure there will be people who will buy those cause they got more money than sense.

You do realize, don’t you, that to someone with more money than they can spend in a dozen lifetimes dropping $100K on headphones is like you dropping a quarter in a parking meter, and you wouldn’t be called weird for that.

I'm sure whoever has 100 thousand to splash out on headphones are really worried about warranties....

Beat me to it. Well done.

 

[coolfactor]

Was it intentional that they borked the name? "Airpods" instead of "AirPods"? Rushed to get the marketing blitz out? For a company that boasts "high quality", it's surprising that such small details seem to evade them.

 

[testcard]

I couldn't make up my mind which color so I ordered one of each...

I’m waiting for Platinum...

 

[ProfessionalFan]

Ooh Free shipping! Now how can anyone pass up?

 

[H.E. Pennypacker]

These are made upon order. What we see is just a render. There are billionaires who spent 100 grands on a weekend trip. When you have everything, it is nice to have something that your other billionaire friends, dont.

Wait so only one billionaire can have these?

 

[H.E. Pennypacker]

108k?? I spend that much on aftershave.

 

[Doctor Q]

Too bad this product didn't make it to market in time for the holidays. I would have given a pair to each of my relatives. Instead, I gave everyone $5 Apple gift cards.

 

[mozumder]

I like that they're using about 5 cents of gold - remember, it's gold PLATED - and marking it up for hundred grand.

 

[CarlJ]

I suggest Plutonium (PU239), even more exclusive and warm in the winter season. A bomb.

And easy to find in the dark, by the constant glow. Just whatever you do for heaven's sake don't let the left and right ear cups touch! That'd be a critical mistake.

 

[CarlJ]

I hereby reserve the right to laugh derisively at anyone who buys these.

 

[lysingur]

I have to once again reiterate something I've said many times before and never fails to be true:

Rich people are downright WEIRD.

More like people are weird but money allows you to act out your weirdness.

 

[Paul_a]

Thank you! Sent this to my spouse who grumbled at me buying a regular pair. Still not off the hook, but out of the dog house.
