The design of Marek Cina's 'Listening to the Sea' seashell headphones are more about plugging into the sounds of the ocean rather than the sounds of music. Just as you'd hold a single seashell to one ear to be able to hear the sounds of the sea, these fun headphones help to drown out distractions as you would with a pair of headphones.
The unusual headphone design harmoniously combines forms from nature and technology that actually make a lot of sense together. The design is free of cords and other nuisances and although it may look a little silly to wear, but if it helps to trick your mind into thinking its on a beach, what does it really matter?
