ColorWare is a unique company that specializes in user customization for its electronic goods. The brand's latest creative product is the ColorWare Beats Chrome, which takes a pair of Beats By Dre headphones and finishes it in a limited-edition chrome surface.

The Beats By Dre headphones series by [Monster](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monster-arc-smart-sound-reactive-led-lamp) has become a huge hit with consumers. The headphones combine high sound quality with great styling. With most [ColorWare products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorware-1), the user gets fully customizable surfaces in the colors of his choosing; however, with the Colorware Beats Chrome line there's only one finish available and only 50 pairs will be made.

If you were hoping to get your hands on a pair of ColorWare Beats Chrome, you may be out of luck. The headphones, which retailed for $1,000, are already sold out.
