Tactile Control Headphones

The Conceptual 'Olfoo' Headphones Have a Large Control Button

The conceptual 'Olfoo' headphones have been designed by 葉 泓廷 as a mobile audio accessory for users in search of a way to enjoy an immersive experience from an audio and a tactile standpoint.

The headphones feature an over-the-ear design that helps put a focus on immersive audio, while the control on the ear cup promises to deliver a tactile experience. This is thanks to an oversized toggle that makes it easy to turn the headphones on and off, change songs and more, depending on the direction it's pushed or turned.

The conceptual 'Olfoo' headphones take a decidedly different approach to audio equipment design and shift away from button-free interfaces towards a more tactile, somewhat retro alternative.
