Wood Earphones

‘Woodees' Offer Superior Natural Sounding Acoustics

— April 11, 2009 — Unique
It has long been held that natural materials offer superior acoustics over other man-made alternatives. Thus, it comes as no surprise that we’d eventually see a pair of earphones made of wood.

Woodees Inner Ear Stereo Earphones offer a unique design with earpieces encased in wood rather than plastic or metal.

According to CNET, Woodees offer some of the most natural-sounding bass ever heard through headphones; a sound more akin to that of speakers than earphones.

The Woodees earphones are available in two models: a standard MP3 player version and an iPhone/smartphone set with an inline mic.
Trend Themes
1. Wooden Earphones - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop eco-friendly audio products using sustainable materials like wood for enhanced acoustics.
2. Natural Sounding Acoustics - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create advanced speaker and headphone technologies that replicate the natural sound characteristics of wood for an immersive listening experience.
3. Earphones with Unique Design - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design earphones with unconventional materials, such as wood, to differentiate the product and attract environmentally conscious consumers.
