Is this normal (Neutrik CrystalCon XLR)?

[blessingx]

When did connectors start getting the glitz treatment?

That is awful on a level that I cannot adequately express.

Judging by their most recent site updates, Neutrik has hired some visual designers to give them a minor image overhaul. I'm guessing that we'll start seeing these connected to divas' microphones everywhere.

For a company with such an industrial image, these are a little effeminate... Kind of like putting a tutu on an ogre.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

That must be the Christina Crapulera version.

Seriously though, how is there even a market for junk like this? I just can't comprehend it.

Icky!

Edit- almost tempted to order a pair just for the sillyness factor. (Almost.) Maybe use some pink teflex too. Call em "Swishy Cables"!

That's just... wrong. I guess one is not entitled to tell anyone what or what not to like—so bedazzle your stuff as you wish—but here the clash of aesthetics just... it's a train wreck.

I for one welcome our new glittering overlords.
