Although no one in their right mind would want to touch a jellyfish (despite their obvious electric beauty), let alone shove one into their ears, I can't say that I'm surprised that the Elecom Otokurage Earbuds were inspired by these particular sea creatures.
Designed by Japanese studio nendo, the Elecom Otokurage Earbuds have an uncanny resemblance to the jellyfish. Translucent and blobby, they not only look cool, but they also look extremely comfortable as well. Made out of silicone, they are available in a range of pastel colors including blue, pink, purple and green.
I have to admit, however, that as much as I like the Elecom Otokurage Earbuds, I am truly taken with their mini water bottle packaging. Truly unique!
