iF Gold Statement
People love design for sound reproduction, especially if it's easy to deploy and to pack away again. Designers know well how difficult it is to mate together different materials of similar color, and one of the great challenges in product design is successfully combining two synthetic materials and adding some metal into the mix. However, it's a task that the h.ear on headphones achieve in a sublime fashion. With its sophisticated and subtle material contrasts, this product delivers a unique character without sacrificing sound quality.
