Despite the fact that headphones have become essential for millions of people worldwide, the design of them still remains rather foreign; the 'Sound by Human' ear cup headphones look to change this.
Featuring a design that goes against the design aesthetic of virtually every other headphone on the market, the 'Sound by Human' earphones take a different approach. The ergonomic ear cup design of the headphones are designed with the aesthetic of the ear in mind. The individual cups are placed over each ear to provide the perfect level of audio and security to ensure they don't fall off like other wireless earbuds.
The 'Sound by Human' ear cup headphones are currently available for preorder on Indiegogo with a projected shipment date of July 2017.
