This set of Samsung VOLVE headphones does a great job of mixing antique styling with modern technology. Designer Andreas Konradsen says that these headphones are supposed to blur the boundaries between music and mind. I'm not sure what that means, but if that's what got him to make these headphones, then I'm all for it.
The headphones have an intuitive control system. Simply tap the center of the disc on the earphone to play or pause your music. Spinning the outside of the disc controls the volume.
The design of these headphones makes them look like they are from the 70s, but the stainless steel and brown look is still sophisticated. The Samsung VOLVE headphones combine design and technology masterfully so that you can look stylish walking about town.
