Sennheiser sparkles

CrystalRoc blings up headphones, taste police called in.

Probably best known for its customisation of musical instruments and microphones – think Kylie’s sparkling Fifties mic from her Showgirl Homecoming tour – UK company CrystalRoc has bestowed its unique take on taste to a set of Sennheiser headphones and earphones.

With enough Swarovski themed bling to have footballers dribbling like they never could on the pitch, the Sennheiser HD25 headphones and CX300 earphones keep the sonic quality but lose the subtle styling.

Each is described as a “fully functioning handcrafted work of art, developed with a technique which has been honed to absolute perfection and a quality of workmanship which ensures that every crystal is precisely positioned and in its own perfect space”. Hmm.

Don’t worry though; that lady-pink – sorry, Light Rose – isn’t the only finish available. There’s a more manly Crystal AB (white, we assume) and Light Sapphire (probably blue) available to.

And the cost of such unmistakable craftsmanship? £299 for the HD25 headphones and £99 for the CX300 earphones. Money well spent, we’re sure you’ll agree.
