Normals' 3D-printed earbuds were developed as part of a belief that one size does not fit all, in fact Normals goes as far as to say "One size fits none." If you're an avid music listener and opt for earbuds rather than a pair of headphones, you've probably encountered eat least one extremely uncomfortable pair that makes you wonder who it was designed for.
Getting a pair of custom earbuds isn't hard to do, but the process is usually costly, messy and time-consuming. Normals has developed an innovative solution to this, which has consumers snap a few pictures of their ears using the 'Normal' app, so that a pair can be created just for your ears. For $200, it's a costly process, but these custom earbuds are shipped within 48 hours.
