Planet Beyond unites technology and fashion to introduce innovative, sustainable and artful wireless earbud accessories made from reclaimed metal products. The jewelry-like designs from Planet Beyond look different from the average earbud, which tends to be sleek and sporty.

Inspired by the natural world, Planet Beyond helps to support self-expression with pieces that offer a representation of "the natural elements of the future world," with leaves, the sun and stars taking on a mechanical look.

The brand's PB01 Earphone is offered in gold, silver and gunmetal styles, and can be accented with add-on accessories that share artful interpretations of elements like the sun's rays, leaves and dynamic star clusters.
