Contemporary Jewelry Headphones

The 'OD' Earphones Have Character and Durable Functionality

— February 26, 2018 — Tech
Technology accessories like headphones have become an essential part of the urban consumer lifestyle, which is seeing new designs like the conceptual 'OD' earphones come about.

Created as a stylish piece of jewelry, the headphones are able to provide users with a way to listen to their favorite music without detracting from their overall style aesthetic. The earbuds are linked together by a cable to keep them together, while also offering a way to hang them around your neck when they're not in use. The ultra-modern design of the buds make them look perfectly at place amidst your outfit, whether your fashion sense is more masculine or feminine.

The conceptual 'OD' earphones are the design work of Joongho Choi, Hyunsoo Choi and Jeong Kim.
