These [sleek headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tozo) are a totally one-of-a-kind design, using cork, leather and stainless steel. They're wickedly modern and downright swanky. Yanko Designs says, "Apparently the acoustic insulation properties of the cork allow the user to enjoy sounds at full throttle without interfering with the surrounding environment." Don't stick with the [classic black ear-buds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zhang-yunxib) or the boring black over-the-ear headphones -- try out these and make a statement.
