The Johannes Vermeer Girl with a Pearl Earring headphone wrap transforms everyday listening into a wearable work of art. Designed by Casetify for Apple’s AirPods Max, it is crafted from a silk-like pleated textile that mimics the folds and colors of the famous painting’s headscarf. A dangling pearl completes the look, turning the headphones into a playful yet elegant nod to 17th-century portraiture while offering light protection for the earcups.

Part of a capsule inspired by the Mauritshuis museum’s collection, the wrap blends fine art and consumer tech in an unexpected way. While it disables the headphone’s physical controls, its novelty and striking visuals have driven rapid sell-outs. At a premium price point, it underscores the growing appetite for design pieces that reframe functional objects as cultural statements, inviting wearers to merge personal style with an iconic image from art history.
