Bose Earbud Headphones

WHY IS THIS A GOOD DESIGN?


This headphone design is a product that was made with the use in mind.  Earbud headphones are most useful for use during high levels of activity.  Whether they are used exercising, running, walking, or whatever else it may be, the value of earbud headphones is that they fit this use environment well.  Most earbud designs fit into the ear well, but they don't consider the inconvenience posed by them falling out.  How inconvenient would it be for a runner to have to stop in the middle of his workout to put his headphones back in his ears.  The design pictured hear very clearly takes the shape of the ear into consideration.  The "horn" that comes off the top of the earbud fits comfortably and securely into the contour of the inside of the ear.  The soft rubbery material is clearly designed for comfort, but it also provides the support necessary to have the earbud stay securely in the ear during activity.  The rubber portion can even be detached and changed for different sizes based on the size of the user's ear.  This design increases user satisfaction because of its ergonomic, use-based design.
