You probably can't tell that the Low-Fi Hi-Tech Headphones do not comprise any line-produced parts; what you see is a collection of components that come from an array of unusual sources. Designed by J.C. Karich, the audio accessory maintains a clean and contemporary look, despite its varied composition.
Bits of tape, wire and other materials have been bonded together with magnets and solder to form a surprisingly durable set of music listeners. These have been combined with a few 3D-printed parts to complete the product. The result not only looks good, but apparently it functions impressively well.
