Amazing headphones

 

Seriously this makes me almost want to do some kinda mod on my grado sr80i cups or something. These will look absolutely amazing if they were to utilize OLED and be wireless... 

What do you all think?

With that much attention paid to design, you know it probably won't sound quite as good as it looks. It's too bad they don't exist to test, either.

 

Covering up the cups of your Grado may not be such a great idea. They're open for a reason, and covering up the cups will ruin the sound.

Those look like the ricer equivalent of headphones... Are they featured in the next Fast and Furious movie? Not sure what the point is though.... I mean, who cares if everyone else sees the visualization of you are listening to... it's not like you will be able to enjoy it or they will know what they are looking at....

thats an interesting idea for looks but doesnt help the sound at all and like you guys mentioned above, that will disallow the headphone to be open back and open back headphones are open back for a reason

They do look sweet, but you'd never see them yourself if you're wearing them. Plus, buying those AAA batteries (guessing) to power them would start to bother me.

I genuinely think they look stupid. It's like lights on the backs of sneakers or something.

I wouldn't cover up my grados actually you are right they wouldn't have that open air sound anymore. But OLED is extremely effecient as far as I hear and these wouldn't need triple A batteries [automatic deal breaker]. Anyways, how about on the headband then? I think these are fabulous as a concept ^_^  Hopefully they won't be adopted by some other rapper headphones

Confirmed. I did this by myself, bass is anemic and the sound is horrible..lifeless. 

 

Im sure rappers will adopt this on the future, dont like the concept.
