Created by Marblue, the HeadFoam headphones are the world’s first all foam, mono-body set of headphones. Made up of one single piece of EVA foam (which is what they make fake wine corks out of) these headphones are nearly indestructible and shatterproof. Also there’s no need for irritating bendy hinges, folding necks, or sliding parts.

They’re made for ages 3 and up, but god alone knows what sort of sounds toddlers are embarressed of the rest of the world hearing while they’re on public transport. If you ask me, market these things directly to the people who need them: everybody who’s ever tried to find a practical or convenient way to cram their headphones into a backpack while on the red-eye flight to Cape Town from Jozi.
