# Adjustable French-Designed Headphones Elemik is the World's First One-Handed Headset By Bryce Mason | Published 2022-07-12 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elemik References: [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/elemik/elemik-the-first-one-handed-headset?ref=discovery_newest)  Elemik has created the world's first one-handed headset. A few years ago, French designer Florent needed to use [noise-canceling headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/active-noisecancelling-earphones) and found it inconvenient when he had to put down his items to free up both hands. He began dreaming of a headset that could be put on with just one hand. Florent quickly began drawing headbands with an inside cable that could easily be deployed when pulled. He later printed a prototype that, to his surprise, actually worked. To use Elemik's best feature, you simply press a button to create tension on the headband cable, which spreads the headband allowing it to be put on or removed with only one hand. These [innovative headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disruptive-headphone) come with a high-quality removable mic, custom RGB LEDs and a control box. They are available for purchase on [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neckphone-tri).
