Form Function Get Friendly: Jewelry-Like MP3 Player and Headphones







Lots of us are permanently attached to our MP3 players these days, so
it’s no surprise that headphone designs have been evolving into
fashionable objects. This particular MP3 player and headphone design
is more of a fashion accessory than an electronic device, using
forward-thinking electronics design and a delicate aesthetic to suggest
jewelry that is also functional.

The earphone part of this design fits just inside the ear, while an
attached chain leads down to a small earring worn in the wearer’s
pierced earlobe. Besides adding a sparkly, attractive touch, the chain
would probably help ensure that the earphone doesn’t fall out and roll
away. The MP3 player section of the design is a bracelet that matches
the earrings, making a matched set of beautiful accessories that also
happen to be able to play all of your favorite music. Technically
speaking, the bracelet looks a little too simple to be functional, but
since the design is only a concept at the moment we think it has the
right to be a bit fanciful.
