Wireless headphones have shifted to favor having all the various controls and functions within the headphones themselves, but the 'AK G-12' earphones case takes a different approach. Designed by Jeongdae Kim, the 'AK G-12' earphones kit consists of the wireless earbuds and a case that is used to charge them. Moreover, the 'AK G-12' also acts as the controller for the earbuds to play, pause and augment the volume without having to interact with the small earbuds themselves.
The 'AK G-12' earphones case doesn't rely on a smartphone for music but rather stores the tunes in the case for added efficiency. This makes it possible for users to utilize it while commuting or when out for a jog in order to keep the focus on the music experience.
