ColorWare is Now Selling Apple's AirPods in 58 Colors if You're Willing to Pay $289

#howtowaste$130 Sorry but so many better things one can spend $130 bucks on unless you are rich, but then I guess you probably have money to waste. Though, donating to a charity still seems like it would make more sense for humanity. Just sayin.

Unless you donate all your spare cash to charity, you're in no position to judge. Especially if you have an iDevice or Mac released in the last 3 years - you could have continued to use a perfectly good older model, or a generic Android/PC, and given your money to the benefit of humanity instead of selfishly buying an unnecessary luxury.

So, you first.

Somebody missed out on a great opportunity to partner with Skittles™.

 

[djeeyore25]

Is clear an option?

 

[bladerunner2000]

You must be fun at parties.

I'm also great with making sense of things

 

[RowellE]

The sad thing is, there are some people dumb enough to pay that.

Do you realize that's what non-Apple fans say about every Apple product?

 

[DeepIn2U]

Oww...Pretty...

Petty? Nah ... ostentatious, vain maybe.

DoH just realized you said pRetty not Petty lol.

 

[triton100]

300 bucks... for a colour? The sad thing is, there are some people dumb enough to pay that.

Why are they dumb?

 

[bladerunner2000]

No. I do however, realize some non-apple fans and even apple fans say that though.

I am rich, but I do not want anyone to notice that I spend some much money for this so I am just going to ask them to paint it the same white color as the original one... just because I can afford it /s

Psssh. I'm richer and I make sure that everyone notices. Colored AirPods... yawn. So pedestrian. Should be relegated to the poors like you. Wireless earphones? Who would want something everyone can get? Plebeians that's who. My friends and I, your betters if you will, hire out of work Art History majors to listen to our music and whisper it into our ears. I wonder if Colorware will paint my two "earphones"? Of course they will, I'm rich. I will have them paint Carlton in a nice blue tinted carbon fiber and Louise a drab olive since she's getting a beyond her station; thinking her minor in French Impressionism means something.

See color buy..its a feature!

 

[naeS1Sean]

Yup and probably a bunch of them are on this forum.



When you can buy a back up pair (for work, car, gym bag or wherever or if your first pair break or gift for someone or use the money on something useful) for an extra $29 instead of getting a painted pair kinda seems dumb to me. +$30-$50 then I maybe get the business model. $130 really?

To each their own.

No. It's $130 "for a color". The $289 price includes the AirPods. Ironic that you call other people dumb.

 

[Hieveryone]

Jet black looks cool. I'm not paying that price though.

 

[shigzeo]

Cool! One colour for almost every gender.

 

[TallManNY]

These do look great.
And Apple is going to have a ton of fun with colors on these once they can make enough. I've said it before, but AirPods are a Fortune 500 business and with Beats they might be a Fortune 100 business. Apple is in the process of taking over the headphone market.

Why do you have to blast someone who has a desire for a differently colored device and is willing to pay for it? I'm sure you have some things that I wouldn't like and wouldn't pay a cent for. But I wouldn't call you stupid for liking something that I don't. You sound like a certain politician that hates everything.

 

[djlythium]

That's dope.

I actually don't own an iDevice within the last 3 years but thanks for asking and I'm not doing any of those things above but again thanks for asking. They don't relate at all to getting coloured air pods for almost twice the price as white ones. It would be more like me buying a latte for $5 dollars and paying another $4 dollars for a painted cup. Does that seem like it would be good way to spend money? Also upgrading to a newer device has more value than paying for it to be coloured. You're getting things like better performance features etc.

I do donate to charity again thanks for asking.

I actually think the colouring ipod business is a cool but the pricing seems way ridiculous and a waste of money. Guess I'm not allowed to have an opinion?

 

[The Game 161]

guessing you can send yours in and they do it for it instead of needing to buy brand new ones

That forum member wants other members to respond to his negative rhetoric. Add him to your ignore list. It's not worth even responding to someone like that and you have to outsmart him. I don't disagree with you though.

On Topic: I could easily see someone taking advantage of The colored Airpods. If the company is reputable and someone has the money to do so, why not.

No, it's 2017.

 

[leroypants]

Just because someone finds value in something that you do not doesn't mean they're dumb, does it?

Nope, paying almost double for a colored version of an over priced hipster fashion accessory is absolutely dumb.

Opinion…not fact. I don't understand all the hate.

 

[dampfnudel]

Apple just needs to offer one more color, black, and that would take care of 99 percent of those who don't like the white ones. I'm guessing Apple will release black versions as early as later this year.
