What makes the Louis Vuitton earphones unique, then? According to the company's product description, the earbuds have a blue-to-violet gradient backprint and are constructed from sapphire glass top discs.
Probably as a result of the substance used to produce them, each bud weighs 8.2 grammes. These earbuds include a stainless steel charging box with an LED light ring. In terms of features, the earbuds have two omnidirectional microphones and 11mm Beryllium drivers. The Louis Vuitton Connect app serves as the central controller for the earphones on your smartphone, and they come with ambient and hybrid noise cancelling modes.
The earbuds are waterproof thanks to their IPX5 classification, and you can control the playing via mechanical buttons. The charging case is waterproof and has an IPX4 grade. It can be charged wirelessly or cable, and it can charge from 0% to 100% in 40 minutes.
When you look through these features, you won't find many extras compared to the AirPods Pro 2nd gen, which cost ⅙ of what these Louis Vuitton earbuds cost. However, the brand's reputation and their use of premium materials, like sapphire, undoubtedly contribute to the high price tag.
