Visual headphones show others what tunes you're crankin'
Headphones are hot, and it seems like every fashion hipster wants to be seen with some Beats by Dre or other blingy headphones on their head. The problem is that unless you have the volume really cranked, it can be hard for others to tell what tunes you're spinning. These headphones give the people around you a visual clue, with displays that move in time with the music.
The Amazing Headphones concept from designers ChanHyun Park & SeJi Kim have OLED displays built into the face of each ear cup. Play your music, and the tunes are shown visually using your choice of several different displays.
That sounds like a neat concept, but I can't see much need for it on the Subway here in NYC. Often, you can usually hear the song and sing along if you want with someone cranking up their headphones at the other end of the car, no visual clues needed.
The Amazing Headphones are just a concept.
