The i-Mego Retro Headphones are a series of new headsets with an awesome vintage look to them. The earmuffs have a colored plate that's designed after a 50s microphone that artists and TV personalities used back in the day. The headband features a beautiful stitched design that lets you appreciate the craftsmanship that went behind it. These "feature in-line microphones and adaptor cables that are compatible with all mobile phones," according to The Style King. The headphones are available in [Infinity Gold](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yohoo-museum) and Poison colorways. When it comes to the vintage looks, I think the i-Mego Retro Headphones has hit the spot without sacrificing high performance. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 13% | Activity: 39% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Vintage Aesthetic Headsets:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating modern headphones with a retro design that appeals to customers looking for a nostalgic aesthetic. - **Integration of Microphones in Headphones:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing headphones with built-in microphones for seamless communication and convenience. - **Craftsmanship-inspired Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Designing headphones that showcase intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail. ### Who This Affects Most - **Consumer Electronics:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introducing retro-inspired headphones to the consumer electronics market. - **Mobile Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporating microphone compatibility and adaptability into headphones for improved mobile technology experiences. - **Fashion Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating headphones that double as fashion accessories by combining vintage aesthetics with high-performance audio technology. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [60s-Inspired Headphone Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mh40-wireless-applied-art-forms.md) - [Retro Era Wooden Headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fiio-eh11.md) - [Retrofuturism Streaming Headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/futureahead-headset.md) - [Revived Retro Headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wesley-headphone.md) - [Retro Tech-Inspired Headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/km5-lightwear-headphones-hp1.md) - [80s Retro-Inspired Headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wesley-headphones.md) - [Revived Retro Headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grado-labs-sr80x.md) - [Retro Wireless On-Ear Headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightwear-headphones-hp1.md) - [Modernized Retro Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-memory.md)
