You may call yourself a Rolling Stones fan, but are you ready to prove it? Spotify and Master & Dynamic have teamed up to allow the band’s biggest fans to put their money where their ears are.

On Wednesday, Master & Dynamic announced it will be creating a custom version of its MH40 headphones for Rolling Stones fans. There is a catch, however: you can’t just buy them. Instead, you’ll need to prove that you’re a true fan of the band by using your Spotify account.

In order to be chosen as eligible to buy the headphones, users must first be Spotify Premium subscribers. They will also have to be deemed to be “Superfans” of the Rolling Stones, which is determined “by length and depth of listening on Spotify,” according to the press release Master & Dynamic issued.

Only 1,962 of the headphones will be produced — a tip of the hat to the year the band was formed. The custom headphones, unlike the standard MH40 headphones, feature the band’s iconic logo emblazoned on the side of the ear cups, a commemorative plaque on the inside of the ear cups, a headphone stand, and a few Easter eggs that Master & Dynamic is leaving for fans to find themselves.

Fans who have met the above criteria will receive an email with a private link allowing them to purchase the custom MH40 headphones. The price will be $500, which is $100 more than the retail price of the standard MH40s. Whether or not the extra money is worth it to you probably says a lot about how much you love the Rolling Stones.

Fans of the band who aren’t Spotify users do have a glimmer of hope: Master & Dynamic says that the headphones will go on sale to the public via its website on July 13, assuming they haven’t already sold out.

These are the 13 best Brad Pitt movies, ranked

Does your favorite Brad Pitt movie make the list?

Brad Pitt staring across the table

If you were to look up the word "superstar" in the dictionary, it wouldn't be surprising if Brad Pitt's visage was strewn across the page. When you hear his name, it’s hard not to think of his chiseled abs, effortless charm, and distinctively beautiful face. Many may even immediately think of all the media surrounding his romantic entanglements with Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston, but we’re definitely not here to talk about that.

Today, we are here to talk about the many strides Brad Pitt has made in his film career; from war movies to heist comedies, he's taken his physical beauty and made the most of it. While he may not have the reputation of Tom Hanks or Al Pacino, Pitt has become a great performer in his own right. In addition to his prolific acting career, Pitt is also a producer with more than 60 credits to his name. Clearly, there is much more to him than just what meets the eye, which is part of what makes him such a compelling screen presence.

Is ‘Family Guy’ on Disney Plus in 2023?

Get the scoop on streaming 'Family Guy'

The Disney Plus sign-up menu is displayed

Whether you can watch Family Guy online via Disney Plus depends on what part of the world you call home. Simply put, Family Guy is available on Disney Plus in some areas, but not all. Why? Well, not all streaming services possess the rights to the popular animated comedy, but that's all changing as we speak.

In short, Family Guy is only available on Disney Plus if you live in one of the countries where Star is included in your Disney Plus subscription. That means countries like the U.K., Australia, and Canada have Family Guy on Disney Plus, but the U.S. misses out.
