Listening to your iPod / radio with headphones while on your bike or even driving can be extremely dangerous, earphones these days have been built for music quality, which means background noises are filtered out as much as possible. While this may be perfect for someone who’s just listening to music at home, it’s not at all safe or user-friendly for cyclists.
That’s exactly why Seohyun Baek have come up with this concept. The semi-circular headphones you see below are what you might call ‘poor quality’ headphones, as they have been designed to fit in a way which don’t filter background noises at all! Designer Seohyun Baek thinks knowing what’s coming up behind you is more important than having the perfect music quality and I agree!
The unit is wireless with a bluetooth module that connects to a standard headphone jack. Riding your bike, saving the Earth, saving money, and enjoying music while doing it shouldn’t be a hazard.
