Olga Orel designs the FUTUREAHEAD headset, which is a new and enhanced listening experience that shows off the playlists or other song information. The concept headphones have a digital screen that is designed onto the outer shell -- this is what displays the playlists, videos, or other elements including the users' mood, genre, images, or the rhythm of the music being listened to.
In terms of design influence, it recalls retro themes while retaining the modern technology that it boasts. Speaking about the new FUTUREAHEAD concept headphones, Olga Orel explains that "Future Nostalgia as a visual style became a source of inspiration for this project." When the headphones are placed on, the screen turns on automatically and connects to the mobile app.
