ColorWare's Retro AirPods Pro 2 are priced at $499, while the AirPods 4 with ANC are priced at $439. ColorWare uses a proprietary painting process that ensures the finish holds up over time, and it makes AirPods and other custom painted devices in a wide range of colors.

Aside from the custom painting, the AirPods Pro 2 and the AirPods 4 are identical in performance and feature set to standard AirPods.

A $250 markup? Nope. Looks great, but nope.

Those are sharp. But they cost almost as much as a Mac Mini.

The colors are dope but this is pretty much DOA based on those prices.

Im a wealthy industrialist, philanthropist, and keen purveyor of the finer things in life. I am busy acquiring and divesting fortunes, shaping industries, and, indeed, buying and selling men like myself as one might trade in fine silks or rare antiquities and yet even I was momentarily taken aback when I laid eyes upon a $499 price tag. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have an exclusive luncheon at the club, where deals worth more than your yearly earnings will be sealed over a plate of imported oysters. Good day.
