Jack Kerouac believed that the only truth is music. These days, thanks to technology and its impact on the music industry, the power of our music may only be as good as the speakers we hear them through, and those speakers are changing everyday.
Audio design company, AIAIAI pride themselves on designing modern, minimalist headphones that deliver clear, amplified sound.
Meet Capital – the new durable, foldable and flexible pair of headphones from AIAIAI specifically for “on-the-go Urbanites”.
Designed by Bjarke Ingels and Lars Larsen of KiBiSi, Capital headphones are made out of reinforced fiberglass with a lightweight rubber-brace. They are designed to be exposed to everyday elements and tested to withstand rain, snow and dirt while delivering clear and crisp sound from the protected 40mm driver.
Drawing influence from Scandinavian acoustic/electro-acoustic design and engineering, the headphones are timeless, iconic, thoroughly realized and most of all – comfortable.
Thanks to our friends at AIAIAI, desktop has one pair of Capital headphones to give away! To be in the running, simply leave a comment below telling us what song you would blast through your new Capital headphones before 5pm Friday 20 July.
