Non-Destructive Head Phones

Love the name of this concept and totally relate to it as well. The personal side of the story is that both my brother and I managed to ruin our hearing thanks to blasting music through our earphones (parental advice IS ignored by teens). Hence the Non-Destructive Head Phones aims at keeping your eardrums safe, minimize bacterial infection and still allow you to enjoy your music on the go. The only flipside is that you will be aware of secondary noises like maybe a honking car. Then again, in the long run it can work out to your advantage…maybe catch up on some street gossip!

“Non-Destructive Head Phones are designed to let the sound waves reach your ear in a less destructive way. This is achieved by not blocking the opening of the ear canal and by eliminating the direct firing of the sound waves in it. It can keep the user well aware of the conversation around and other sounds from the surroundings.”
