Safely Expanding Earbuds

The 'Supersuit' Earbuds are a Safe In-Ear Headphone That Inflate

— October 28, 2015 — Tech
Three designers, Gong Jie, Li Bo and Chen Meiqi, created these clever inflatable headphones called the 'Supersuit.' This pair of in-ear headphones have the ability to expand to three different sizes, depending the user’s desire.

These inflatable headphones come with three different expansion sizes, which are designed to ensure the earbud remains snugly secure without damaging the ear. The designer knew that the in-ear earbuds were popular for those who used them to workout, which meant that there was a high desire to ensure the headphones stayed intact.

One great feature of the Supersuit headphones is that they ensure there is minimal sound leakage and a high level of exterior sound blockage. A simple switch located at the back of the earphone will expand the earbuds to ensure the ear canal is not being penetrated by exterior noise.
Trend Themes
1. Inflatable Headphones - The Supersuit earbuds demonstrate the trend of inflatable headphones, providing a customizable fit for users.
2. Secure Fit Technology - The Supersuit earbuds highlight the trend of secure fit technology in in-ear headphones, offering a solution to ensure headphones stay in place during high-intensity activities.
3. Sound Blockage Enhancement - The Supersuit earbuds represent the trend of enhanced sound blockage, minimizing sound leakage and blocking out external noise for an immersive audio experience.
Industry Implications
1. Audio Technology - The audio technology industry can explore the disruptive innovation opportunity of incorporating inflatable designs to provide customizable and secure fit headphones.
2. Fitness Industry - The fitness industry can leverage the technology behind Supersuit earbuds to offer workout-friendly headphones that stay securely in place during physical activities.
3. Consumer Electronics - The consumer electronics industry can integrate secure fit technology and sound blockage enhancement seen in Supersuit earbuds to enhance the overall audio experience of in-ear headphones.
