building the adjustable clamp concept

I love using the materials I have to mock up and test ideas (sidenote: I have lots of materials... a lot...) Immediately after creating the concept, I went into prototyping. Every project has unique challenges, so I am flexible on how I start the process. The clamp adjustment required extensive testing, and we wanted to ensure we got it right.

6100 Story

This was born from observing people in the gym wearing premium headphones that weren’t built to take on an intense workout. And the active headphones didn’t fit the vibe outside of the gym. I designed 6100 to look good in and out of the gym and adapt functionally so a person could go hard during a workout and have a more relaxed fit the rest of the day.
