Wireless headphones have quickly become an essential technology accoutrement for smartphone and computer users, so the conceptual Samsung 'Yinyang' earbuds have been designed to help further enhance the experience.
Designed by Felipe Duarte, the headphones feature an inflatable hook that will work to keep the earbuds inside the ear at all times instead of relying on standard-sized components to do so. The earbuds can be kinetically charged as the wearer goes about their daily routine to keep them functioning at all times with minimal downtime.
The conceptual Samsung 'Yinyang' earbuds also feature a magnetic design that can be used to keep them attached to a lapel when not in use or even attached to the rear of an NFC-enabled smartphone for charging.
