So…trying to accommodate to gf’s demands, here’s a curve ball…which audio headset/earphones would you recommend that, while keeping good audio, sells also in PINK COLOR? Your average Sony XM, Sennheiser Momentum, Airpods etc…they all lack pink. Suggestions?

      I’ve got a (black) pair and really like them. I’m not sure what the comment below is talking about but I haven’t installed any Anker apps and they work just fine for plug and play use.

      I can’t imagine someone whose deal breaking criteria is the color would care about audiophile-level controls on a pair of BT headphones.

        Thanks for the heads-up about the app. I’m a GrapheneOS user, and so permissions are important, but on a headset…well, I basically don’t bother installing the app, to begin with. I have another profile for bullshit apps, where my Sony headset app resides, and basically that’s only to upgrade the firmware…which lately has been to add assistant functions only, and so I haven’t even bothered. SO…yeah, thanks, but I wasn’t probably going to install the app in the first place :)

    Maybe a good pair of headphones and the careful application of some spray paint? Mask and holes or areas you don’t want to colour, then apply several light coats until suitable pinkness is achieved. I suspect you’ll get bonus points for personalisation.

      Sorry, not good advice:

      plastics and paints are usually incompatible-chemistries.

      ABS can be painted, but you MUST be careful about which solvents are in the paint, e.g.

      There is no point in trying to paint polypropylene, e.g.

        I haven’t had any issues painting most plastics with the general hobby type spray paints. I know there are some that’ll fail or damage the surface, but I’ve had good results with Plastikote (other brands are available, etc).

        I should probably have been more specific about using spray paints for plastics rather than general ones.

    I had a bad experience with the Bluetooth on Sennheiser and got so frustrated I broke them into little pieces and threw them away. I’ve since bought two pairs of Bang & Olufsen and have been happy. It seems they have a sort of light pink on at least one of the models

      Seconding this. B&O know their stuff when it comes to sound (though I’d avoid TWS due to having bad experience with them myself); currently rocking HX, seem to work fine

        That’s what I upgraded to a year or two ago. Handles switching input sources no problem; something the Sennheisers couldn’t do

        Bang & Olufsen

        Just checked the price of these, my wallet started screaming on the other room. Holy cow, these are some beautifully pricey headphones!

    Here’s a list from a Best Buy search. Even if you prefer to shop elsewhere it gives a list of several pink headphones and earbuds.

    Pink headphones

    If she does any gaming Astro (owned by Logitech) used to have pink versions of some headsets.

    Maybe something from V-moda, not entirely pink but should have pink shields

    Google > make list of options by known companies > ask what’s best between those models regardless of the color

    We’re not going to look at all the good products of every good brands for you to see which ones offer a pink version, do your part.
