ColorWare Launches New 'Blended' Custom AirPods Colors

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.

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.

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.

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.
