Final day! Giveaway: 2 Pairs of BlackPods (customized AirPods) are up for grabs, enter today for your chance to win

Now through August 30, enter to win a pair of BlackPods in your choice of Classic or Stealth. What are BlackPods? BlackPods are customized AirPods that are coated using solvent-based painting technology, which yields a luxurious finish that exceeds U.S. Military specifications. In fact, each pair of BlackPods is hand-finished by a team of artisans prior to being carefully packaged and shipped off to customers (or in this case, two individual winners).

Each winner will receive a special code valid for one pair of BlackPods valued at $279 to $299, depending on the finish. Or if you already own a pair of AirPods, you can send them in to be professional painted by the talented BlackPods team. Entering the giveaway is easy using the widget below. Signing up for our mailing list and subscribing to our YouTube channel will net you the most entries, but there are a variety of additional options as well, such as following us on Instagram and Twitter. No purchase is necessary and the giveaway is open to U.S. residents aged 18 years and older. The winners will be announced here on August 31, so don't forget to check back to see if you've won.
