Music-Playing Neck Pillows

These Cushion Headphones are Perfect for Traveling Long Distances

— August 15, 2013 — World
Spicki Cushion headphones combine neck pillows with music players for an extremely relaxing way to travel.

These colorful cushions work like regular headphones, as they can be connected to your phone or portable music device. However, the similarities end here. These giant headphones are so soft and fit comfortably on your head and over your ears; you no longer have to have little buds stuck on your ears for long periods of time. When you're tired of listening to music, simply place the headphones on your neck for a cozy resting pillow. Having these two trip essentials in one is practical packing.

Connecting your phone to the comfortable gadget is extremely beneficial because there's also a speaker for you to use the headphones for phone calls.
Trend Themes
1. Multi-functional Travel Accessories - Combining multiple travel essentials like cushions and headphones into one product can appeal to customers looking for practical and space-saving solutions.
2. Audio-wearables - The integration of audio technology into wearables like neck pillows presents an opportunity for innovators to create more convenient and comfortable consumer products.
3. Smartphone-compatible Comfort Devices - The convenience of connecting to a smartphone and being able to use the device or compatible apps makes it a ripe opportunity for companies to develop more products for the modern tech user.
Industry Implications
1. Travel Gear Industry - Innovations that combine comfort and practicality, such as the Spicki Cushion headphones, can help travel gear companies further differentiate themselves from competitors.
2. Consumer Electronics Industry - As audio technology continues to evolve, integrating it into more wearables like neck pillows could become a new market segment for consumer electronics companies to explore.
3. Mobile Accessories Industry - The trend of connecting devices like neck pillows and headphones to smartphones could present an opportunity for mobile accessories companies to expand their current catalogs.
