Remember that awesome M4 Mac mini with a custom retro style? ColorWare is back at it again with the retro treatment for AirPods Pro 2 (USB-C) and AirPods 4 with active noise cancellation.ColorWare’s retro collection isn’t just about painted hardware.Like the M4 Mac mini, ColorWare has machined grooves into each AirPods charging case to create faux vents that call back to early Apple computers.
The collection now includes limited edition USB-C AirPods Pro 2 ($199, reg.$249) in classic matte beige or ultra-sharp matte black for $499.While I personally prefer the fit and performance of AirPods Pro 2, I have to admit that the form factor of AirPods 4 with ANC executes the matte black retro look best.
ColorWare is selling AirPods 4 with ANC ($168.99, reg.$179.99) in classic matte beige or this awesome matte black for $439.And yes, I admit that I would repurchase AirPods Pro 2 once again if Apple ever released a version in black… just like I replaced AirPods Pro with AirPods Pro 2, and AirPods Pro 2 with AirPods Pro 2 (USB-C).
In the meantime, ColorWare is doing the much needed work of colorizing AirPods and other Apple products.Check out the Retro AirPods collection here.Best Apple accessories Wireless CarPlay adapter iPhone MagSafe battery USB-C iPhone charger Apple AirTag AirPods 4 AirPods Pro 2 Apple Pencil Pro Follow Zac Hall on X, and listen to Runtime with co-host Sophia Tung on Apple Podcasts and YouTube.
