A pair of giant headphones by Dallyn Rule surround your body to give you an immersive experience. Users can sit between the headphones in order to experience music like they never have before. The sound system doesn't touch you and allows you to feel tunes with your entire body.
Though you could argue that the headphones are simply two speakers shaped like a pair of headphones, there are some differentiating factors. Just like a pair of smaller headphones, Rule's audio system surrounds the user in a bubble of sound. As a result, those standing around the listener would not be able to clearly hear what's being played.
The headphones were presented at the Maker Faire in Vancouver.
