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?

    SoundCore Q30 with Oluv’s EQ is probably the best you can get if you care at all about sound neutrality. You want the Q30 specifically, all the other models can’t be saved even with EQ.

      SoundCore Q30

      Yup, it’s the first time I heard of these, but in this thread it’s come up several times. I’ll definitely be checking these.

        This review and this comparison might help. It’s a real shame the newer models ended up being worse soundwise. While the Q30 can’t compete with my Sennheiser HD 6XX, it still delivers a solid neutral sound after some equalization―and has become my preferred headphone just because of its ANC feature. It’s also very comfy, and you can get two days of continued use before it needs recharging. The only downside I can think of is its tendency to fall off your head if you’re running or working out.

    If these are hard requirements for her hardware and she’s not willing to search herself with such ridiculous constraints, I’d suggest replacing gf.

    Shockz bone conducting headphones have a two tone pink version of their high end Openrun Pro and their lower end Openmove has a pink/white version.

    It is nice to hear music but still hear your surroundings for safety.

      Thanks, but in this case noise-cancelling would be a need. They’re needed for the daily commute and for airplane travel. So these would be a no-go.

        What is really interesting is that I can put comfortable earplugs in to cut outside sounds off and put the bone conduction earphones on and can still hear my music perfectly. I was in a 20 seater turboprop plane over the weekend and with the earplugs in and music going I could barely hear the engine.

    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.
