About Mi Bluetooth Headset Mini Bluetooth Headset
Mi Bluetooth Headset Mini is packaging created for a compact sports headset. The headset shell is minimal and carries a single circular button. The packaging uses images of famous musicians, so the oval shell reads as a head and the button as an open mouth. The result suggests a singer or a conductor, and gives character to a simple product. A PET tray holds the headset and the controller at the front, while the wires remain hidden. A paper cover keeps the structure firm. The design aims to appeal to users between 18 and 29 years old.

- The design of the product is quite minimalistic, with only a circular button on the shell. To make it more interesting, the design use images of famous musicians in the packaging, contributing to a personification of the product: the oval shape becomes the head, and the button becomes an open mouth. This creates the image of a composer passionately singing or vigorously conducting an orchestra, giving voice to an otherwise low-profile product, at the same time highlighting its design element.
