Bling-i-fied Gadgets–Sennheiser and PS2 Controller
If you ever wondered how it’s like to be a highly affluent gadgeteer, then this post is for you. Apparently, there’s no room for minimalism for some — just take a look at these two gadgets.
First up, Sennheiser earphones. CystalRoc, a UK company, has teamed up with Sennheiser to glam up two of their headphone models — the CX300 and the HD25. The pieces are marketed and described as:
“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”
In short, it works just like normal, except with a gazillion of Swarovski crystals to blind our humble eyes. The bling-i-fied headphones come in Light Rose, Crystal AB and Light Sapphire. The model CX300 sells for $205 while the model HD25 sells for $620. A tad too much for headphones, even with Swarovski crystals. I’d rather take my headphones and bling-i-fy them on my own.
Next stop, a bling-i-fied Sony Playstation 2 controller. This one surpasses the prior because these aren’t just Swarovski crystals lining the controller up, these are real 68.32c (collectively) black diamonds. The body of the controller itself is made of 18k white gold which is, as we all know, more expensive than gold. Unfortunately for us geeks, these weren’t made to be used. This bling-i-fied PS2 controller pendant is actually meant to be a pendant. Granted, your neck is strong enough to carry the bling, otherwise you’re cursed to suffer stiff neck all day. And who wouldn’t? I bet a diamond-encrusted PS2 controller isn’t the lightest thing in the world — both on your neck and on your pocket. No price on this baby, but sure would love to have one — if and when I become a rich enough geek.
