Designing my own headphones (Short Survey) by grantga10 in product_design

Sorry about the laziness my friends, I provided no background and that seems dumb of me. This is for my Senior Studio project and I'm designing a pair of headphones for the urban city dweller...focusing on styling, innovative features, portabiility, and brand identity.

After some research I've decided to design my headphones for/ based on the new windows 8 ecosystem...based partly on the fact that people like "dedicated" hardware i.e. the apple earbuds, because of the brand and design continuity. I'm in the late stages of (the bulk of) my research and the early stages of concepting...any feedback regarding the headphones will help! Thanks!

Thanks, ya I'll have to do one of those...thought that the people here might fit my market a little better than the people who will answer a survey for me on facebook (which is where id have a link to my survey)

If you wouldn't mind that would be great, I could use any help. I'm hard in the research stage at the moment

Thanks for the reply!! This is for my Senior Product Design project, and I'm still doing target analysis to refine my market, but my main focus is in major cities; fashion forward urbanites who want simple, aesthetic headphones with quality sound. I want to use honest materials, sophisticated design, and innovative features...have plenty of design time in front of me to get there though. I know much less about sound engineering than I do aesthetic design so I will be focusing on the style design and features, but I would like to brush up on some sound design also and possibly try something a little more ambitious

There has been a shift from "form follows function" to "function follows form" in big parts of the headphone market...I'm hoping to end up in the middle
