Clearly, Swarovski crystals have cornered a market in consumer technology. We're not sure what market that is, exactly, but they've cornered it.

There's no disputing this fact with the introduction of these crystal-encrusted headphones, which Cool Hunter says were designed by DJ Donna D'Cruz in a variety of colors (shudder) for a mere $2,500. The phones are the latest to join Swarovski's unfortunately growing collection of mice, phones, laptops and, yes, refrigerators. Who needs a disco ball?

Lunacy! Custom design for less!

Guys, this is mad! Who would pay 2,500 for that headset! try the dutch company bling affair. They will design your own headset for you, including headset for a mere 650 euro. They have done the likes of DJ Roger Sanchez and Joyce Mercedes. 2500 for that boring design is lunacy!
