Bose celebrates their 60th with diamond-encrusted earbuds you can't afford, but could win
- Bose is releasing a limited-edition “Diamond 60th Collection” for its anniversary.
- The new fancy-colored audio gear has the same MSRP between $299 and $429.
- One lucky customer could win a pair of diamond-studded earbuds valued at $9,000.
In a sparkling tribute to tradition, Bose is commemorating its 60th anniversary — the diamond anniversary, for those keeping score — with the launch of its aptly named Diamond 60th Collection. The lineup includes gem-inspired colorways of their QuietComfort Ultra Headphones, QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds, and the Ultra Open Earbuds — all at their regular prices in a flashier coat of paint.
But why stop at diamond lookalikes when you can have the real thing?
For those who find their regular headphones lacking in the ‘blinding passersby’ department, Bose is offering a chance to win a pair of Ultra Open Earbuds literally encrusted with diamonds. Valued at a modest $9,000, these glittering gadgets are perfect for those who want to combine questionable sound quality with the risk of being mistaken for a jewelry store display during their morning jog.
Customers will automatically be enrolled in the contest when they purchase qualifying Bose products, including the Ultra Open Earbuds, QuietComfort Ultra Headphones, and QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds. To enter without making a purchase, you can send a standard-size postcard only with your hand-printed full name, address, phone number, and email to Bose Diamond Ultra Open Earbuds Giveaway, P.O. Box 907, Marblehead, MA 01945.
The contest runs from August 26th to September 16th and is limited to three entries per person. This gives audiophiles ample time to dream about owning earbuds that cost more than their monthly rent. A single winner will be announced by the end of September, just in time for Bose to start planning their platinum-plated 70th anniversary collection.
