Tangle Tangle

Making use of film speaker technology, Tangle Tangle converts from a set of headphones to a speaker with a simple twist.

Anyone who uses headphones knows the discomfort that comes from long hours of wearing them. Tangle Tangle is a set of headphones that also functions as a speaker. This is achieved through the use of film speaker technology.

There are three pieces of film inside Tangle Tangle. When it is used as headphones, only two parts of the film operate (just like normal headphones). When the headphones are taken off, they will readily twist to adopt the speaker shape. All three film speakers will then operate. The twisted shape of the Tangle Tangle speaker amplifies the sound that comes out from the centre of the speaker.

When the speaker is not being used, it can be transported by being slipped onto the user’s arm and worn like a bangle. It can be easily reconverted to the headphones format by being untwisted.
