Earbud Alarm Clocks

Earlarm Wakes You Up Instead of Waking Up the Person Sleeping Next to You

— January 25, 2014 — Tech
If you've ever put your partner or roommate through the pain of waking up early because of your alarm clock's constant ringing, there may now be a remedy for that called Earlarm, which is an earbud alarm clock created by Kyungi Moon. Moon has created a concept earbud that functions as an alarm clock inside your ear. Instead of waking up the person next to you, the Earlarm includes two noise canceling ear plugs fitted with speakers that connects to your bedside alarm clock through Bluetooth.

The device was inspired by wanting to cancel out the sounds of a party next door with the intent of waking up in the morning via an alarm clock.

The rechargeable earplugs can also be recharged through the wearer while he or she looks at an LCD screen on the clock.
Trend Themes
1. Personalized Alarm Devices - Earlarm is a concept personal alarm device that can be customized to fit into the user’s ear, and can potentially lead to the development of other personalized alarm devices.
2. Quiet Products - Earlarm is a noise-cancelling earplug that cancels out exterior sounds, and can be used as a platform to create other quiet products.
3. Wireless Technology - Earlarm uses wireless bluetooth technology to connect to the bedside alarm clock, and can lead to the development of other wireless technology in the industry.
Industry Implications
1. Consumer Electronics - Consumer electronics companies can capitalize on the trend of personalized alarm devices like Earlarm and develop more products that cater to individual preferences.
2. Home Furnishings - Earlarm addresses the problem of noisy alarm clocks disturbing household members, and home furnishing companies can use this trend to create more noise-cancelling products.
3. Health and Wellness - Earlarm is a quiet solution to the stressful problem of being awakened by a noisy alarm, health and wellness companies can use this trend to create products that promote stress-free sleep and waking up.
