My new headphones above won the 2009 Red Dot Award for Product Design. It’s design aesthtic is classic and it’s supposed to be very light–the nickel and titanium ear hooks are the slimmest you could possibly make them–and stays hands-free, unlike those other headphones that you have to keep holding and readjusting as you move your head. Not only that, from the “Neodymium magnet drivers with ultra-slim high performance diaphragms” to the “Superior thermoplastic elastomer coated cabling” that “resists tangling and significantly reduces contact noise when the cable brushes against your clothes,” it’s designed outside as well as inside to exceed its MSRP value of $199.99. Unlike Apple, Creative actually seems to care about good music.
