If you're a fan of the brand and don't mind Bluetooth earbuds that carry a fairly common design, though, you might find a lot to like about the Metallos. V-Moda says that the neckband should conceal easily under a collared shirt and the earbuds themselves are supposedly sweat-and-water resistant, for instance.

Should you feel like dropping some serious coin on custom caps (like the shields you'd find on its XS and Crossfade cans, and Remix speaker), know that platinum and 14k gold are available starting at $7,500 and $2,500 respectively. Too rich for your blood? Acrylic caps will run you $20 when purchased with the now-available $170 Metallos.
