Neat and highly useful headset design idea

When it comes to Bluetooth headsets, almost any choice one would make looks more or less like anything else on the market. We'll not get so far as to say that everything looks alike, but we'd rather invite you to judge upon this matter yourselves: take off your headset and look at the one your neighbor or work colleague owns – pretty much the same thing when it comes to looks and principle, isn't it? Well, if new and cool is your game, the latest idea from Qian Jiang might very well be something to dramatically raise your interest.

 

The B-headphones is in fact a set of two ear plugs fitted with Bluetooth communication abilities, looking totally cool and breathing a modern and fresh approach to the wireless earphone design. While being small and lightweight, these ear plugs are at the same time fashion-friendly as they are as unobtrusive as it gets.

 

Thanks to their minimalist design and diminutive dimensions, the B-headphones could easily pass unnoticed; and when you need to be in touch with your friends or business partners while attending a public meeting, a hard-to-see Bluetooth headset could come in very handy. The B-headphones set comprises three pieces: two ear plugs and a holding device that allows you to elegantly store your plugs while at the same time looking extremely fashionable. Even more, the holder can be tied to a necklace and make for a nifty and modern, tech-ish accessory for your outfits, as well.

 

But, aside from protection and looks, this third piece in the set plays a more important role: as you'll be plugging the ear pieces in this small aluminium tube, you'll actually make a small, AA battery-shaped object that can be easily and perfectly cradled in any battery charger, as you can see in the attached pictures. Thanks to a small LED indicator, you'll be notified when the charging cycle is completed; the small cylinder can also store a small battery for recharging the ear buds “on the go.”

 

There's no official data on whether the B-headphones will make it to the stores soon, but with the almost obvious A2DP ability, this headset could really make for a serious change in the world of Bluetooth headphones.
