One of the common reasons for headphones no longer working is a frayed or damaged headphone cable, so the Auxiliary headphones look to put an end to this occurrence. The cable on the Auxiliary headphones is designed to be replaced and allow the owner to utilize the audio driver they already have. This helps to deter the occurrence of entire pieces of technology going into the landfill just because of a single problem.
Designed by Mauricio Romano, the Auxiliary headphones feature a bevy of different design options and enable the headphone cable to be replaced on buds, in-ear and over-ear headphones. The stunning design aesthetic of the headphones make them suitable for those with discerning fashion taste.
