a wear by tom banfield from uk
designer's own words:
The A-Wear headphones provide the wearer with a second set of sensory 'ears' which detect movement, much like the proximity sensors found on the back of cars, which are used to aid parking.
The use of headphones means that the wearer's hearing is effectively disabled as a warning system. In this application the sensors warn the wearer of any fast oncoming objects, like cars.
The shape of the headphones is also integral to the design. Based on that of an auditorium, it is designed to enhance the quality of the sound.
