One of the most effective — and surprisingly profitable — approaches we’ve seen recently is custom artist earphones,which can become a recond label merchandise success.

Over the past year, we’ve been helping artists, record labels, and creative studios turn their branding into physical audio products that fans actually love to use.
A Recent Success Story: 70,000 Units of Artist Signature Earphones Sold Monthly
We recently collaborated with a Korean record label to launch a set of artist signature in-ear monitors as fan merchandise. What started as a simple gift idea quickly grew into a scalable product line.
The results were impressive:
- 70,000 units sold per month
- Fans actively shared the earphones on social media, boosting the artist’s visibility
- The label gained a new revenue channel with very low development barriers
- The product created emotional value — it felt personal, collectible, and meaningful
This case showed us something important:
When audio products carry an artist’s identity, fans respond with excitement — and repeat purchases.
Why Signature Earphones Work So Well
1. High perceived value
Earphones are used daily, making them more meaningful than typical merchandise like stickers or postcards.
2. Flexible for different budgets
Options range from:
- Gift Edition (cost-effective, great for fan events), to
- Premium Edition (higher-end components suitable for merchandise sales)
3. Low barrier for artists & labels
We handle:
- Product design
- Custom housing & printing
- Packaging
- Quality control
- Shipping
You only need to provide the logo, signature, or visual direction.
