Many of the wireless earphones on the market have some sort of protruding components that sit outside of the ear, but the conceptual 'Sevy' earbuds have been designed with an ergonomic shape that distinctly distances itself from this form.
Designed by Sathiswaran Pon, the headphones maintain an egg-like shape to make them easier to fit into the ear and expose the shell-like surface to the outside. The surface of the earbuds functions as the user interface and can be controlled by simple swipes to eliminate the need for buttons.
The conceptual 'Sevy' earbuds were prototyped by the designer in order to allow users to test the shape and voice their concerns to further fine-tune the audio equipment.
