Released as part of a new collection of smartphone, tablet, and earbud cases celebrating the Mauritshuis museum collection in The Hague, Netherlands, Casetify’s new AirPods Max accessory can turn you into a 360-year-old work of art.
Made from a “silk-like textile,†according to Designboom, the headphone cover’s fabric has been finished with a pleated design mimicking the headscarf worn by the unknown subject in Girl with a Pearl Earring painted by Johannes Vermeer in the Dutch Golden Age style in 1665.
The cover does serve to protect the outer finish of the AirPods Max’s earcups (while unfortunately blocking the headphone’s physical controls) but it also features a dangling pearl on one side that makes the wearer look like the painting’s famed subject – assuming they’re able to recreate her casual over-the-shoulder glance. The accessory is currently listed as sold out on Casetify’s online store, which is surprising given it’s priced at a steep $199 – almost half the cost of the $549 AirPods Max themselves.
