Design Details

Unique Properties
This pair of true wireless stereo earbuds, designed based on the idea of 0 gravity, 0 burden, stands out from its counterparts with its technology aesthetics, outstanding acoustic performance and wearing comfort. The transparent charging case treated by optical coating enhancement process, paired with nonuniform shell thickness, embodies lightness and modern elegance. The product minimizes its size with no compromise on noise cancellation performance and sound quality.
Inspiration
The design team aimed to create an artistic, emotional audio product able to provide users with an immersive experience. With a profound understanding of young users who pursue fashion, the design team, by subtly incorporating well-textured materials and nonuniform shell thickness, has crafted this pair of refreshing true wireless stereo earbuds that can immediately catch the eye.
Research
For modern users, Bluetooth earbuds is a crucial tool to isolate them from urban noise and create a personalized music space. However, traditional counterparts are largely homogeneous in appearance design. To meet the consistent pursuit of modern users for uniqueness and fashion, the design team has placed greater emphasis on the aesthetic aspect of the earbuds. By adopting a design language featuring technology aesthetics, the product can also serve as a fashion item.
Challenge
The main highlight is the appearance featuring lightness and technology aesthetics. The charging case treated by optical coating enhancement process is more transparent and glossy, and resistant to scratches and fingerprints. The integration of aluminum alloy, plastic and transparent components leads to a rich, futuristic visual effect. The nonuniform wall thickness creates a unique visual contrast, looking like the product floating in a bubble. A 3D dynamic flow texture gives a dynamic sense.
Realization and Technology
optical coating enhancement process, vacuum matte deposition process, aluminium alloy, plastic, electroplated decorative components
Operation and Interaction
Each earbud weighs only 4g for a senseless wearing experience. The product enables active noise cancellation and maximizes noise reduction depth to 48dB. It supports adaptive adjustment to effectively filter out environmental noises. The 8mm coaxial dual magnetic circuit speaker greatly reduces segmented vibration, enhances driving power and improves sensitivity, offering a better listening experience. The indicator lights make it easy for users to check the battery level for timely recharging.
Project Duration and Location
This product was designed in October, 2022 in Shenzhen, and will be launched in March, 2024 in Africa.
