Zippo Skull Headphone Design Windproof Lighter, Street Chrome (29855)

The Zippo Skull Headphone lighter (model 29855) is a genuine windproof, refillable pocket lighter that pairs a bold color-image print of a skull wearing headphones and sunglasses with a bright Street Chrome case. Like every Zippo, it is built from all-metal brass in Bradford, Pennsylvania, and it is covered by Zippo’s lifetime guarantee. It ships empty, so you add premium lighter fluid before the first light.

The Skull Headphone Design, Up Close

The face of the 29855 carries a full-color image print of a skull listening through over-ear headphones with dark sunglasses, a street-and-music motif that leans streetwear rather than classic flame-and-chrome. The artwork is a printed color image on the front of the case (not an engraving), so the colors read crisp against the chrome backing. It is a fun, conversation-starting everyday carry for music fans and collectors who want something with more personality than a plain polished case.

What Street Chrome Means

Street Chrome is one of Zippo’s signature factory finishes: a lightly matte, brushed-chrome look that hides fingerprints and small scuffs better than a high-polish mirror finish. It gives the case a tougher, more understated tone that works as the canvas behind the color-image skull artwork. The finish sits over the same all-metal brass body Zippo has used for decades.

Windproof by Design

Zippo’s reputation rests on the windproof chimney: the perforated wind baffle around the wick shields the flame so it stays lit in a breeze, on a patio, or near an open car window where a plain flame would blow out. Flip the lid and you get the unmistakable all-metal click and a steady flame from the flint-and-wick mechanism. It is a flame lighter for general use, not a vape, not a torch, and it is not a concealment device.

Refill, Re-Flint, and Re-Wick for Life

This Zippo is fully refillable, which is the point of owning one. When the flame weakens, saturate the packing with Zippo premium lighter fluid (do not overfill, and keep it away from any flame while filling). A full fill typically lasts up to about two weeks with regular use, and the fluid slowly evaporates even when the lighter sits unused, so periodic top-offs are normal. If the spark fades, drop in fresh replacement flints, and once the wick darkens with carbon and stops lighting cleanly you can trim it or install a replacement wick. With those few consumables the lighter keeps going indefinitely.

Zippo's Lifetime Guarantee

Every genuine Zippo windproof lighter, including the 29855, is backed by Zippo’s lifetime guarantee: if the mechanism ever fails, it works or Zippo fixes it free. There is no receipt required and no time limit. The guarantee covers the working parts, not the printed artwork or finish wear. Zippo performs the repair itself at its Bradford, Pennsylvania repair clinic, where the company has manufactured lighters since 1932; we sell the lighter, and Zippo honors the guarantee.
