You can now buy custom, 3D printed earbuds made with technology from MIT
Lantos Technologies has created the glass slipper of earbuds.
Leave it to MIT to improve the humble earbud: Lantos Technology Inc., a Wakefield-based company that got its start at MIT, is creating custom-fit earbuds that are 3D printed personally for each customer, according to The Boston Globe.

A pair of the perfectly fitting earbuds will cost you $269 and two trips to the Burlington Mall.
