Technology can appear somewhat cold at times given the unnatural design that it boasts, so the X12 Headphones aim to help infuse a sense of playful personality into an otherwise ordinary accessory. The headphones consist of wireless earbuds that are stored in the accompanying case that is swiveled open in a semi-circle fashion to allow for access while also creating a smiling robotic face. This greets the user whenever they go to replace the headphones in the charging case or when they open it to retrieve them for a little bit of music listening.
The X12 Headphones are the design work of ShiHua Tang and have been designed in order to make them a friendly piece of equipment to brighten your day.
