Zhang Yunxib designs conceptual open-ear earbuds that also function as a chic fashion accessory as well. It looks like a stylish pair of earrings with the functions of an audio earbud. Users do not need to stick part of the earbuds inside of their ear canal and it is secured due to the shape.
Sound waves are transferred into the ear without having to blast it at a loud audio. This concept uses a more refined air conduction so that it does not create a vibration to the bones in the head. It wraps around the ear in order to secure its position. Visually, it has an elegant form with a matte texture and reflective finish on the tips.
