# Gift-Wrapped Hipster Headsets Beautifully Packaged Headphones and Earbuds from Aiaiai By Marissa Liu | Published 2009-12-09 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aiaiai-headphones References: [thedieline](http://www.thedieline.com/blog/2009/12/aiaiai.html#more) & [aiaiai.dk](http://www.aiaiai.dk/) Aside from sounding like the chorus to a Rihanna song, [AIAIAI](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aiaiai-and-brain-dead) headphones look really awesome. The earbuds come in long, slender plastic tubes and the [neon coloured headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sony-linkbuds-clip-open) are packaged elegantly in graphic boxes-almost too pretty to remove and wear. The Copenhagen-based company makes hipster-friendly headphones, laptop sleeves and stands and t-shirts. AIAIAI headphones retail at $80 for earbuds and $75 for headphones. **Implications** - With so many varieties of similar products saturating the marketplace, consumers have difficulty deciding between brands.
