Headphones

I've seen quite a few different versions of designer headphones pop up over the last few years. Of course, this always raises the question in my mind... are they listening devices or style accessories? Can you have both? The answer the manufacturers would give is, of course, yes. Does fashion appropriate from other walks of life? All the time. Check out the "Beats" headphones that have appeared on a number of celebrities here.

These "Pick-up" headphones designed by Swedish ID firm Norra Norr are collapsable and based on the shape and mechanism of a turntable.



Fashion appropriates design appropriating design.
