# All-Pupose Ear Candy The Multimedia Headphones Treat Your Eyes and Ears By Alex Scott | Published 2010-02-27 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multimedia-headphones References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2010/02/25/the-headphones-that-captured-all/) Multi-purpose gadgets are getting increasingly more popular as things like the [iPad](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/april-fools-lifestyle) let you do pretty much everything except cook a meal. The Multimedia Headphones follow in a similar vein offering pretty much every technological gizmo you can think of. Designed by William Gerwin, the Multimedia Headphones contain a [10 mega-pixel camera](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tws-earbud), a digital projector, P2P capabilities, and can instantly up load images to the internet. Oh, and did I forget to mention they're wireless? I'd like to see Gerwin try and throw on a mini printer for the next model. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 10% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Inventions](https://www.trendhunter.com/inventions) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Multi-purpose Gadgets:** Opportunity to create gadgets that can do multiple tasks and replace bulky devices similar to the Multimedia Headphones. - **Wireless Technology:** Opportunity to create wireless gadgets that can connect to other wireless devices for convenience and accessibility. - **Instant Internet Uploads:** Opportunity to create gadgets that can instantly upload images and videos to the internet for easy sharing and communication. ### Where This Applies - **Consumer Electronics:** Opportunity for consumer electronics companies to develop and market multi-purpose and wireless gadgets that cater to customers' various technological needs. - **Photography and Video:** Opportunity for photography and video industries to innovate and create gadgets that offer both functionality and convenience to photographers and videographers. - **Internet and Telecommunications:** Opportunity for internet and telecommunications industries to develop and improve gadgets that can easily and quickly upload data to the internet for users' convenience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hybrid Camera Headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/musiccam.md) - [Anthropomorphized Headphone Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wireless-earbuds-concept.md) - [Headband Display Headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boinc-headphones.md) - [Contoured Ear-Hugging Headphone Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/earbugs.md) - [Enhanced Music Display Headsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/futureahead.md) - [Hybrid Wearable Headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neckphone-tri.md) - [Detachable Dual-Mode Headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/streamline-hybrid-earphones.md) - [Disruptive Headphone Technologies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disruptive-headphone.md) - [Retrofuturism Streaming Headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/futureahead-headset.md)
