Headphones. 

 

A fresh take on a classic archetype.




A familiar sound

We were inspired by late 20th century designs, using colour and material to give an iconic silhouette a new twist. The coiled wires and TPU used throughout allow an easily adjustable fit. The in-built sound limiter allows parents to feel safer with their kids switching the volume to max.





Right to repair

Being able to fully disassemble the product encourages curiosity to explore other uses; the right earcup can be used in isolation due to the battery being contained in that side.

The speaker cone and wires are the most common parts to break in headphones, with this device they can easily be replaced without having to chuck away the entire unit.
