There are songs that make me want to shoot myself and then there are songs that make me want to stick bullet casings in my ears. 18K gold 9mm bullet casing earphones, that is.
The Teknine Nine Millimeter earphones are made by a company called MUNITIO and almost sound like a decent deal for $250:
9mm speaker drivers with earth neodymium magnets for superior dynamic range and quick recovery
Machined copper alloy housing, plated in 18k gold providing unmatched sound purity, natural noise cancellation and durability
MUNITIO’s proprietary BassEnhancingChamber™ engineered to produce the tightest, most accurate bass without distortion
Custom-tuned AccousticSoundFlowSystem™ for the smoothest mid to high frequency response while minimizing ear fatigue
SiliconeHollowPoints™ with noise isolating technology designed for secure comfortable fit, resulting in lower volume levels and better sounding music
Kevlar® reinforced fabric cable combining light-weight with high strength to protect the premium copper wire from stretching and shorting
24k Gold plated 3.5mm stereo plug providing exceptional audio signal transfer
If you’re intrigued by these odd things, hurry and preorder a pair. Because the first run is limited to 500 units. [Teknines via Luxist via CrunchGear]
