Now, companies such as Sony, Apple, and Samsung are delivering their most remarkable earbuds to date, having learned their lessons from multiple product generations. Amid this, luxury fashion giant Louis Vuitton’s earbuds which however launched in March are gaining popularity on the internet now around end of the year.
Available in five colours – red, blue to violet gradient, golden, black, and silver. The new headphones included a slightly curved design, a lightweight aluminium frame, and a polished sapphire layer over the “flower” from the brand’s iconic monogram pattern. The charging case was a polished stainless steel case with the luxury brand name engraved over it.
Furthermore, it had a black glass lid, circled by an LED light ring of connected monogram patterns in grey tones. It also had an on-the-go case that the person could attach to their bags.
Louis Vuitton said, “The charging case animated in a beautiful kaleidoscope of gradient colours, performing an electric dance while indicating battery levels. The earphones also came with a lightweight travel case designed to be easily attached to a belt loop or bag, marrying function with style.”
Additional features include Bluetooth Multipoint, which lets the person wearing it stream audio from two distinct sources simultaneously. Active noise reduction and an integrated microphone for calls that cancel out background noise are also present. It has 28 hours of battery life.
