ColorWave AirPods Retro is a Nostalgic Tribute to Classic Apple Computers

Offered with light beige and elegant black color options.

ColorWave

ColorWave offers a novel interpretation of retro aesthetics through its AirPods Retro designs, honoring classic Apple Macs. These special edition earbuds, available for both the AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods 4, showcase the distinctive beige color of early Macintosh computers. A nostalgic rainbow hinge references Apple’s initial emblem, providing a distinct retro aesthetic. Although these AirPods do not include the advanced features of contemporary smart cases, their nostalgic appeal renders them a seamless continuation of Apple’s initial designs.

This is not merely a straightforward color alteration. The enclosures have precisely engineered grooves around the sides, reflecting the vent-like design of early Macintosh models. The buttons and LED indications integrate effortlessly into the design, maintaining utility while preserving the classic aesthetic.

The earbuds retain the streamlined shape of conventional AirPods while incorporating design enhancements that elevate their vintage-inspired appearance. A matte coating on the case enhances the classic aesthetic while reducing fingerprints, achieving a harmonious balance between form and function.

A notable inclusion in the collection is a dark version, which is uncommon in both historical Mac designs and contemporary AirPods. This option offers a fashionable alternative, serving as a long-anticipated black AirPods model while honoring Apple’s heritage.

The ColorWave AirPods 4 with ANC Retro is available at $239 USD, but the AirPods Pro 2 Retro is marketed at $499 USD. Both items are now accessible on their online store.
