3D printing has done it again — this time enabling the electronics company Normal to create custom-made earphones, the kind that actually stay in your ears.

On the Normal website, consumers find these golden words promising a new era in the world of headphones: “Without giving away secrets, we use nerdalicious software and 3D printing to sculpt each one-of-a-kind pair. A proper fit helps every single note go directly into your sound craters. No noise left behind.”

In a video promotion on the Normal website, CEO and founder Nikki Kaufman explains the reasoning behind custom-made earphones.

“What you may not realize is that your ears are quite unlike anyone else’s,” Kaufman said. “Completely unique, in fact, which is why we created this.”

To order your custom-made earphones, all you need to do is download the Normal app and snap a photo of both your ears. After you send the photos to Normal, the company will design earphones to fit your unique ears and then 3D print the product.

Consumers should be forewarned: crafting these earphones is a pretty tough project and might cause some strange smells. The price is currently set at $199.

“Manufacturing the perfect likeness of an ear is not for the amateur,” Kaufman said. “The work is arduous, puzzling complex, and produces peculiar aromas.”
