ColorWare Launches New 'Blended' Custom AirPods Colors

[MacRumors]

ColorWare today launched a new line of custom-painted AirPods, offering the AirPods Max, AirPods Pro 2, and AirPods 4 in various shades of brown. The new shades are meant to be neutral, standing out less than white AirPods when the earbuds are in the ears.

There are three colors available for each product, including a light, cream colored "Glaze" shade, a mid-toned brown called "Toasty," and "Java," a darker brown color. The colors are reminiscent of the neutral color options Apple has introduced for its Beats line in partnership with Kim Kardashian.

ColorWare is known for custom painting Apple devices, and has been making electronics in custom colors for more than a decade. The company offers tons of other colors for the AirPods, employing a proprietary painting method that ensures longevity for the added paint.

Custom AirPods come with a premium price. The Blended AirPods Max are $849, the AirPods Pro 2 are $439, and the AirPods 4 are $329 for the standard version and $379 for the ANC model. Other than the custom color, the AirPods are unchanged so performance and feature set remains the same as standard AirPods from Apple.

ColorWare also recently came out with custom "Mac mini Retro" colors, featuring a rainbow Apple logo. The light version is the same cream color that Apple used for classic Macs, while the black version is a classic, matte black. Pricing starts at $899.

Not a fan of the colours to be honest.

 

[SamRyouji]

Just perfect for my afternoon tea espresso.

 

[Astuces iOS]

I think that’s against apple terms if I am right 😎

 

[Jumpthesnark]

The Mac Mini retro is a great look.

 

[awshucks]

Or just buy the Kim special edition Beats Studio pro for a fraction of the price

I've bought two sets of airpods from Colorware over the years. Both failed within a year. The first set were the Airpods 3 and the mics just stopped working. The 2nd pair were AirPod Pros and also, the mics stopped working.

That's the only time I've ever had airpods stop working. When contacting the company they told me I was out of luck and that they don't offer a warranty. Your kind of screwed if you buy from them as you can't do AppleCare and Apple won't do anything with them since they've been painted. I don't know that it was their coloring process that caused the mics to fail but again that's the only time I've ever had that problem with airpods. They are way to expensive in my opinion to worry about potential issues with them.

or just buy regular beats for even less

The Mac mini is pretty cool, but for that price I can buy the computer from Apple and use the leftover $300 to buy actual vintage Macintosh

I thought those grooves looked "life-life", from their page on the mini:

• CNC-milled faux vents for a classic retro look

😲

These look amazing, the colors are so vibrant. Please release a custom apple cleaning cloth in these colors and let me pay 200 quid for them. Lovely

I did this cheaply with my Sony XM4s. Put the silver/cream coloured ear pads on my black headset. They look great!

 

[icanhazmac]

That retro mini is awesome, I wouldn't pay that much for it, but it's damn cool. The other stuff... 🤢🤮

Good to know. They take them apart before painting. So good chance that.

The Glaze one looks so good 🎧

(the effect on my wallet, on the other hand, looks less appealing 🥲)

I don't know that it was their coloring process that caused the mics to fail but again that's the only time I've ever had that problem with airpods.

I'd place a strong bet on the fact that they have to disassemble them in order to paint them. Taking something like that (so tiny and complicated and with such close tolerances) apart and putting it back together again, outside of OEM factory conditions, is asking for trouble, at some level.

 

[tweaknmod]

I have purple AirPods from ColorWare. The quality is exceptional and, for something I wear for hours every single day, well worth the price in my eyes.

 

[DrJR]

They should have called it the “brown sound” collection….

 

[Aeronauts]

Buying from Colorware invalidates your Apple warranty. It would be better if Apple offered these products in a range of colours. I would love a Red Mac Mini.

 

[svish]

Not impressed with the colours and definitely not going to pay a premium to the already very high prices of certain models like the AirPods Max.

 

[JapanApple]

Uck!, colors look less than likable. No TY

 

[DeepIn2U]

Just perfect for my afternoon tea espresso.

Or to match with those khakis that Deadpool earned us about

It's the Classic Noctua Colorways Collection
