DESIGN NAME: MAZE
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Professional Headphone
INSPIRATION: MAZE inspired by the gramophone.
Salute to the good old days, the design is using semi-transparent vinyl record like deco plate with a metal slider that simulates the tone arm.
By making the old school concept looks more styled and graphically clean, MAZE represents the target user group of yuppie, simplistic yet high efficiency, using the best elements from the past with an injection of the modern elements.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Visible through the semi-transparent panel are the cool elements of the patented maze shape design that inspired by phonograph cylinder. It is not about the outlook, but functionally enhancing the acoustic and providing the extra-ordinary high fidelity sound. It provides a very special Live! sound to allow the audience a unique on-stage concert audio, which should only be available with the amplified system from the concert hall.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: 1. Connect the audio jack of the headphones to audio source that could be connected through 3.5mm jack, like CD, MP3 or DVD player
2. Turn on the source equipment to start playing, adjust the volume to a comfort level.
3. Wear the headphones over your ear and adjust the headband for comfortable fit. Make sure L earpiece goes to Left ear, and R earpiece goes to Right ear to obtain proper stereo effect.
4. Use Mic with control with various functions like answer or end call, call waiting…etc
