Caviar just launched a US$ 67,00 pair of AirPods Pro

Published

How far are you willing to go for a badass pair of earphones? Ultimately, it all comes down to one decision: are you an audiophile or an Apple user? In days long gone, audiophiles had it worse, sacrificing bigger bucks for better audio. Now, the tables are slowly turning. Apple’s newest AirPods Pro costs as much as a new phone, setting you back by a steely US$ 249.

Caviar, the renowned purveyor of uber-luxury smartphones, has launched its own version of the popular wireless earbuds. As you might expect, Caviar’s AirPods Pro costs a fortune.

Besides the hardcore hardware inside, the premium pair is covered entirely in one piece of solid 18 karat gold. Likewise, the charging case is enveloped in its own piece of solid gold. Of note, the golden AirPods Pro is unsurprisingly heavier than a normal pair of AirPods Pro.

Caviar’s latest device is both a burden on your ears and on your wallet. The golden pair costs US$ 67,290. Surprisingly, the pair costs quite a bit more than Caviar’s meteorite-laden iPhone 11.

If you prefer a cheaper (but still abnormally expensive), Caviar is also selling a leather variant: a colored pair of earbuds and an all-leather case. The leather varies between different types of leather, including python and alligator variants. This subtler variant will cost you only US$ 1,310 to US$ 1,540.

If it’s still too expensive for your tastes, don’t worry; shipping is free. Or wait for the next 11.11 sale. Or, better yet, find a better brand.

Computex 2026

GIGABYTE to focus on end-to-end AI infrastructure, deployment at COMPUTEX 2026

Showcase to highlight how production AI is implemented, used on real-world scenarios

GIGABYTE has announced its showcase for COMPUTEX 2026, centering on the theme “Future Landing.”

Moving away from conceptual AI training models, the company’s exhibit next month will focus strictly on the immediate implementation, scaling, and real-world operation of production AI infrastructure.

According to the company, the exhibit addresses a major industry shift: the transition of AI from development phases into large-scale inference and physical operation.

Visitors can expect an interactive breakdown of the AI infrastructure lifecycle, structured into three distinct zones: Ready, Deployable, and Happening.

The “Ready” phase highlights fully validated systems simulated at GAIFA (GIGABYTE AI Factory Accelerator), the company’s dedicated facility in Taiwan.

To demonstrate rapid scalability, the “Deployable” section will feature modular, prefabricated infrastructure units that integrate compute, cooling, and power, all managed via the proprietary GIGABYTE Pod Manager (GPM) software.

Lastly, the “Happening” zone will showcase live, practical applications of physical AI and localized healthcare inference. Attendees can observe a live “real-to-sim-to-real” automation pipeline showing how AI models move from virtual simulation into active robotic systems.

GIGABYTE will also demonstrate point-of-care medical AI running locally, including real-time polyp detection and bone marrow analysis.

In addition to the primary enterprise infrastructure booth (first floor), GIGABYTE will operate a secondary exhibit on the fourth floor.

This dedicated space will showcase edge and end-user applications, specifically highlighting its AI TOP series. This demonstrates how the company’s hardware scales down from massive data center architectures to deskside deployments.

The GIGABYTE booths can be visited from June 2 to 5, 2026 at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center (Hall 1):

  • 1F K0802 (Enterprise)
  • 4F M0520 (Consumer)
