Products can be hits or misses, depending on how much of user vision they match, which is why some companies make such a big deal out of customer feedback. My-Headphone might just be the cleanest example of feedback acknowledgment ever.

Probably because it's not really feedback fishing at all. Instead of launching a product, listening for impressions and then modifying it, the folks at beyerdynamic have launched the world's first headphone design contest.

In a nutshell, anyone who has an idea for a set of headphones can make it and send it to www.my-headphone.com.

This is a live contest, and the outcome will depend on the votes of everyone that drops by the site to express their opinion, however briefly.

The winner will be decided by the end of the year. So far, after just three weeks, 3,000 designs have been uploaded, hence why it will take so long.
