Purple Headphones On-ear

For those looking to channel their inner Princess Leia, headphone covers with the Star Wars icon’s signature side buns are now available on Etsy in shades of blonde, brown and red.
The “Galactic Princess Headphone Covers” – priced at $24 before shipping — are made of synthetic hair and come with two 6-inch diameter buns with mesh backing.
The buns can be glued or temporarily attached to your headphones, and can also be pinned directly to your hair.
“These pieces will transform your headphones or ear muffs into Princess Leia’s famed cinnamon bun hair,” says the Etsy site. “Your friends will love you more, your coworkers will be jealy, and if you wear these to Comic-Con you will get laid instantly.”
Headphone covers for blonde and red hair are made to order.
If you haven’t heard of Wicked Audio and their headphones, that’s okay…neither had we. It’s understandable considering  there are probably more headphone brands than there are brands of beer. If you hadn’t noticed, everyone is making headphones now. At this point we’re just waiting for McDonald’s to start dropping the “McGrooves” on kids in their happy meals.
However it’s a good bet that, despite the over-saturated state of the headphone market,  you’d remember Wicked Audio’s headphones if you’d seen them. Their style is not entirely unique (imagine if Skullcandy and V-Moda hooked up and had a headphone love-child) but certainly memorable. You can find them at Amazon, Walmart, and a handful of other big retailers.
To give them credit, Wicked Audio, under the company Empire Brands, has been in the headphone business longer than most  Johnny-come-lately’s and they have a huge selection ranging from tiny earbuds to full-size circum-aural (around the ear) cans. What’s super surprising, though, is that the company’s most expensive item, currently the Reverb headphones, tops out at around $30 retail.
