The role of MEMS speaker technologies in headphones
Initial desk research, looking for strong visual and technical solutions.Early thumbnail sketches to formulate the key concept elementsUnderstanding compent placement, and size reduction opportunities based on the Mems speaker which is only 5 x 4 x 1mmIinitial concept routes covering a range of simple ideas to differentiate the products.A quick technical study looking at expandable ear buds for adjustability3d printed prototypes, looking at size and mechanical behaviors, with comparison to existing solutions.2 selected routes catering for low and high price points: A contracting volume for compact charge and storage, and a more simple spherical design with a tactile case.
