SafeSound
Helmet Mounted Headphones for Adrenaline Junkies
Existing Problem
Standard helmets inhibit the user’s ability to wear over-ear headphones
User/Environment
Athletes involved in action sports activities that value their safety while still being able to listen to music.
Concept Development
Developing the method of use/functionality in addition to the visual aesthetics conveyed by the form. The Visual Aesthetics were pulled from retro-inspired headphones popular among the outdoor sports community, and I aimed to implement similar characteristics into my own design.
CAD Modeling
Intuitive Mount
The Mounting Mechanism I chose to employ is common among attachments and accesories for outdoor gear on the market.
Fully Adjustable
Two separate hinges allow for 90º rotation to accommodate a variety of head sizes and user preferences.
