In the whole world of tech, earphones seem to attract the most functional, boring designs. I appreciate there’s not a great deal of scope for creativity, given they still need to fit in the ear (thus making some kind of starfish design distinctly uncomfortable), but I always thought they could be a little bit more interesting than just lumps of circular black (or white, Apple fans) plastic. Turns out I was right, and the result is this lovely series of colourful earphones from Elecom.
