I saw someone commenting on the SP3000 in black vs silver. I own a black unit and recently got to see the silver in the flesh (in the metal?) for the first time.

While more visually striking, it is an absolute fingerprint magnet, which is normal given how shiny it is. I also noticed some little scratches here and there, which are nowhere to be seen on my black SP3K that has coating on it.

I was lucky, before buying my SP3000 I was able to have both colors in my hands. That's when I realized that in photo and video the chrome version was magnificent, but that in my hands the black one is stunningly beautiful.

If I had not had the product in my hands, I would have done as many people did, I would have bought the chrome.

I bought the chrome. Knowing it’s a fingerprint magnet. However most of the time, it is in its case anyways…soooo

I bought a chrome one - with back film applied it is not a fingerprint magnet for me and most of the time I just enjoy how it looks without a case😂

Hi Claude,

Thank you for this share.

Very interesting product. In my eyes these qualities :
- Possibility to use the SP3000 without taking it out of the pocket.
- Protection of each earpieces to avoid collisions when moving.
- Dedicated space for the cable.

It is great,
Hi @Mentanalyste,

I must specify that this case is only made for transport since Stefan from Headphone Auditions Amsterdam says that the heat when running can destroy the battery.

Then as the SP3000 is intended to remain in the Alran case thus relativizing the fingerprints question.

Claude.
