great small idea Yoonsang Kim but use symbol ???? and teasing for presentation…because it’s hidden design …

question : a few (young) designers never ask question or answer question or answer question people never ask. or forget to ask…

I looks great, I like the idea of looping them togheter.
But with that shape, I’m 90% sure it will fall of anyone’s ears in a few minutes.

In the photo composition, the wire goes over her jawbone, which never happens in reality - unless you wear your mp3 player stuck on your chin …
If the wire goes down to the neck level, then it will pull on the earbuds, and certainly make them fall. They just need a tiny change in their shape.

its so nice.

On the plus side the design would allow ambient noize in, not a bad thing if your running, cycling etc, not a good thing at all for any sort of audio perfomance. The design would also require numerous sizes, so you would have to try out a bunch to find a good fit and even then a hard form in that is jammed into a senstive area is not going to have a lot of return buyers.

The hygenic aspect is a no go, simpler to microencapsulate a anti bacterial in the surface of standard ear buds. The final killer is just performance, a lot of tiny (and these would be TINY) speakers do not perform as well as one larger one, simple physics kiddies. I

n the end typical young designer falling in love with a form with narry a thought to function or real performance then using some smoke and mirrors to make a bit of hype….nope its a flopper.

Rife with problems, lets explore

The design would require that multiple sizes be offered, and the buyer try them on to find a good fit. This is not cheap or even rational given the market.

The design is JAMMED into a senstive part of your ear, and given its a hard part its going to hurt like a mother in a few moments, not great for good cred.

Many little speakers dont = 1 big one so its going to sound like merde

The design allows for ambiant sound in, good if your into action sports bad if you like to hear your audio with any level of fidelity.

The hygine aspect is a red herring, if it truly is a problem, then its far eaiser to use a microencapsulation of a anti bacterial in the surface of the part.

In sum, its a classic case of a designer fallling lin love with a form, giving little real thought to the end user, the perfomance or reality.

Its a flop.

i really like this

Looks like it might work if the Left and Right ear pieces were reversed with almost no other design changes.

They’re cute, but don’t appear as if they’ll block out any background noise. I’ll take the bacteria over having to hear my moronic co-workers babble endlessly about the latest episode of Grey’s Anatomy or how their grandkids just learned to throw shit.

That’s a terrible idea. It defeats the whole purpose of in ear phones, which is to seal the ear canal for better sound reproduction.

The design is lovely but
They would need to change this way more..
Who would want the wire going across their face like in the picture?
and it would only fit on people with the same ear hole size as the earphones…

I would buy one if it weren’t from Philips. Disgruntled ex-employee opinion aside, it’s a great design and idea. It’s functional, advanced, and minimalist.

there would be a problem in the bass department, and if you are looking for earphones that would “stick together” panasonic hje70 already produced that.

Y is this just a prototype make it real I’d buy that and I know a whole bunch of other people who would it’s futur ristic if it bends to ur ear shape it’s perfect because of people variation in ear size

Really like to see other half of user’s (funny)face.

it,s a good design, sententious but not simple!

I am sure that is a great design!! But it might only on the conceptual stage.

Found out there is a difficulity of the following points.

1. It’s a quit unusual driver for this earphone, use armature driver or normal NdFeB Magnet type driver? Or have a new form of the driver?

2. Even you got a driver of this earphone, pretty sure the acoustic won’t be expectable good.

3. Will do noting about the noise cancaeling when you wear this earphone also everone can hear what you listen.

4. From the ergonomics, I think the earphone may not set as expect as the jpg present. Becasue there is a force pulling from the cable.

But I am appreciate the concept give us quit alot inpiration.

woo,it is very nice design.

I’m Yoonsang Kim

First, i ‘m pleased whit much advice.
This is concept design. therefore, some parts of my design are not realization at present.

However, size is the same to regular earphone.
I made prototype.

wow!!!!! it’s nice

WOw this is an awsome idea, i;d buy this in a heartbeat

Its very very good design. I like it.
How can i buy it, right now ?

once again, it’s an object designed by a student “designer” who never tried or even open an earphone… do you really think that the speaker (well it’s a tiny speaker wich is inside all earphones) can fit into this shape? it’s about 5 mm wide on this concept..

the design is nice btw, but the product will be a crap… do your own conclusion

I like it.
where can i buy?

This design focuses on the cosmetic part but unfortunately it is poor on sound performance. With the tiny speaker and the space between it and the ear canal, you won’t feel any bass effect and also you will hardly hear it in noisy environment. I rather buy a pair of ear rings.

음악듣것냐~

Send me a Pair I’ll buy them!

where can i buy one *-* ?
