A Swedish-based company named Happy Plugs is the first to design exclusive earphones in 18-carat gold. Its premium product, the Happy Plugs Deluxe Edition is more than just a common accessory that complements your smartphone. It’s a functional jewellery that evokes style and sophistication. In fact, when walking down the streets with these earbuds attached, no one will stare at your smartphone anymore, no matter the brand. The golden Happy Plugs will stand out by themselves and let’s face it, that’s exactly the reason one buys them.
A pair of solid 18 carat gold earphones can be purchased for $14,500. Indeed, a whopping price. Each ear-bud incorporates 25 grams of pure gold, being crafted with care by a skilled goldsmith. “A Swedish goldsmith in Old Town, Stockholm, makes the headphones by hand. 18-carat solid gold is molded into the shape of the Happy Plugs Earbuds and 25 grams of gold are used for each pair of earphones, which gives the headphones weight as a large jewelry.” Like any other regular pair of earphones, these are compatible with devices such as iPhone, iPad, Android, HTC, Nokia, Sony Ericsson and so on.
The company is known for manufacturing headphones that sound and look good. As a curiosity, Happy Plugs has recently started to collaborate with Apple Premium Resellers.
