Weeks ago we commented on the rumor that Apple was planning to get a high-end headphones, taking advantage of the pull caused by the HomePod, recently released. The idea comes from Marin Hajek
Curved has unveiled a concept of over-ear headphones, inspired by the superior shape of the HomePod. Perhaps Apple takes this idea into account for the development of the high-end headphones that it is expected to bring to the market. The concept of headphones, brings everything expected: inspiration from Apple ideas, touchscreen controls on the side of the earbuds, and wireless charging.
For many, the idea presented weeks ago was a bit incomplete, or did not meet all the needs that are required of high-end headphones manufactured by Apple. The similarity to a Beats showed little originality. In this case, we know a more reliable version in the style of Apple.
These headphones would be found in familiar Apple colors, in space gray and white, coincidentally the same as the HomePod. But it is not the only nod to the Apple speaker: It has the same external structure as HomePod and a touch screen that is very reminiscent of HomePod. The graphic decoration includes the Siri symbol, to remind us of the connectivity of Apple products and the Apple logo on the other side.
The gestures could be present in the new Apple headphones. Implement with gestures the actions of playback, forward, backward, pause and etc. On the other hand, adjusting the volume would be more complicated if we do not want to have messages to Siri.
And going to Wireless charger that would be a necessary extra in these Premium headphones, We do not see in the photographs any object or mention of wireless charging, in the style of AirPods. Apple should create a stand that would act as a charger once the headphones are hung on the stand.
It is still too early to know if the idea can go to market. In fact, except for rumors, the true intention of Apple regarding the manufacture of these high-end headphones is not known.
