Designed by Lu Chieh Hua, Headphone or Speaker combines the lightweight mobility of headphones with the sound amplification of a speaker into a single unit that makes it possible to both listen to your music privately or share with others. A unique twisting mechanism allows the unit to be propped upright for directing sound and automatically shifts playing modes and volume between operations, transforming it from headphone to speaker in a flash.

Very simila tithe dre beats. Like the idea just need a different look to them.
Jabra used to sell something very similar some years ago.
Proper speakers need to be much louder than headphones.
People could get hearing damage if the volume was set to use it as a speaker when it is actually used as a headphone.
Apart from that, doesn’t look too bad, I actually use my ordinary folding headphones as speakers like that sometimes. You just have to sit within about half a meter from it to hear them properly…
yes, u can!
I was just gonna say… Jabra made headphones that do the same thing. These just look like Dre Beats…
The volume levels over the frequency range change drastically between headphones and speakers, particularly in the bass region which is why headphones tend to sound tinny if you just turn them up and use them as speakers. Perhaps if you could integrate a larger flexible speaker into the head band to cover the bass spectrum that only played when in “speaker” mode, it could work. Cool idea and design though.
great design .. sound quality? ?
Great.. Until the cheap china made switch in the headband gives and and suddenly switches into speaker mode while on your head and blows out your eardrums.
Interesting concept! The actual headphones are no big deal but I think its a great idea for dorm rooms and small apartments. I can’t imagine an amazing sound for an entire room coming out of them but a great idea!
The point is that change modes when you spread them out.
When will this hit the open market?
Awesome, I like it
Technology is really everywhere isn’t it!!
Gets louder the more it is expanded… I’d be scared of the effects if someone were to pull it on just one side.
NICE EFFORT!!!
Curious on sound quality. When in use as headphones can everyone on the bus hear? When in use as speakers how loud are they?
