3D-Printed Headphones are Coming (and They're Only $40,000!)

For DJs and regular people alike, V-MODA is one of the hottest headphone brands out there. You can see their over-ear XS and Crossfade model being rocked by the likes of Tiësto, Avicii, Nervo, Claude VonStroke and yes, even the squad here at THUMP. Beyond quality sound, many of V-Moda's models offer customizable ear-pad shields with laser engraving that can feature anything from your actual given name to your DJ name and logo. Today, the Los Angeles-based audio company is taking customization to a new level as it announces a product with new dimension—3D-printed headphones.

The 3D printing available pertains to a selection of interchangeable ear shields that will cover the headphones and are available in an array of customizable materials including fiber, stainless steel, raw, plated, and precious materials ranging from a reasonable $200 to an astounding $40,000 (yes, really). Available first as a beta feature, you'll even be able to send custom designs to the company's team for a special printing.
