Modular In-Ear Headphones

The Aeros Headphones' Driver Modules Can Be Customized By the User

— March 8, 2016 — Tech
Hong Kong-based electronics company Zorloo has released brand new in-ear headphones, dubbed Aeros, that are designed to make it possible to completely bypass the user's audio system (if it is of poor quality) and re-route the audio signal to the earphones via a digital audio connection.

These particular headphones, currently the subject of an Indiegogo campaign, feature custom 14.8 mm drivers that contribute towards top quality audio, with swappable driver modules allowing for fully customized listening.

These in-hear headphones hint at the future of headphones in that they are increasingly being thought of as more than just mere accessories designed for listening to music, but technological gadgets that are now expected to improve the quality of sound and music in addition to delivering sound to the listener's ears.


Trend Themes
1. Customizable In-ear Headphones - Opportunity to disrupt the headphone market by offering customizable in-ear headphones with swappable driver modules, allowing users to personalize their audio experience.
2. Direct Digital Audio Connection - Chance to disrupt the audio system industry by offering headphones that bypass poor quality audio systems and establish a direct digital audio connection with the earphones.
3. Technological Headphone Gadgets - Opportunity to disrupt the headphone market by creating headphones that go beyond music listening and are considered technological gadgets that enhance sound quality.
Industry Implications
1. Consumer Electronics - Opportunity for consumer electronics companies to capitalize on the growing demand for customizable in-ear headphones with improved sound quality and personalized listening experience.
2. Audio Equipment - Opportunity for audio equipment manufacturers to develop and market direct digital audio connection solutions that enhance the overall audio experience for users.
3. Music Technology - Opportunity for music technology companies to innovate and offer technological headphone gadgets that not only deliver sound but also improve sound quality and user experience.
