Having evolved from the very first true headphones designed by Nathan Baldwin in the 1890s, these listening machines are now an extension of our personality. The last century has seen headphones go from bulky audio equipment to lightweight cans that sound very close to what the artist intended to create. In the last decade, the

I love that idea but it gives “main character” energy. You only buy this to shoe your music taste then hope someone talks to you about it. Maybe i am wrong 😂

“Main character energy” is a great way to put it. If I came across someone wearing these I’d have some assumptions…

It reminds me of that Onion piece on a Kindle that loudly shouts what book you’re reading: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDBzQkWeQ5g

Complete the effect by combining them with a wristwatch broadcasting your heart rate and the transfixed stare of Apple’s goggles.

Yanko design is a name I haven’t seen in quite some time. Some of the dumbest, impractical, and downright impossible concepts have been featured on this blog.

Two memorable examples were the “magnetic” exercise weight set that would have to violate physics in order to function and a refrigerator made of green goo that would somehow preserve food.

Oh and “hubless wheels” anything that rolls needs hubless wheels.

Oh man, if my batteries run out on my noise cancelling headphones I leave them on so I don’t have to talk to people. Now I can enjoy the, “I know those aren’t on” line.

No information about the drivers and no frequency response graphs doesn’t fill me with confidence.

That’s because they don’t exist. It’s only a concept rendering. This site spotlights design ideas and their creators, not actual products.

this post should should perhaps go into some sort of design community rather than a technology community in that case? since there’s no technology here

How fast would that battery die? Also the screens probably add substantial weight. This thing isn’t practical at all, but it is very flashy.

I imagine the frequency response curve is going to be a trash heap on these things. Mids? Who needs em?

This is very pointless and it just makes the headphones heavier for no benefit to the wearer

But think of the style points!
