DIY Airplane Headphones

These Newly Proposed Airplane Headphones are Extremely Compact

Travelling on long flights can be an arduous process that can bore even the most patient people -- which is why airplane headphones are such a prized possession on flights.

The Phitek Nebula headphones make audio a little bit more interesting with their DIY concept. The headphones are compact and only take up one third of the space that most headphones do. They are made from a thin folded sheet of A4 polypropylene with a flat aluminum band. In a quick six-step process these headphones can be put together and comfortably used on flights. Their interesting design was created in the hopes that people will reuse these headphones after their flights.

The compact nature of these audio device as well as the fact that they are recyclable makes them the perfect airplane headphones.
