Earplugs That Actually Rock—Meet Hears 🎧 If you've ever left a festival with your ears ringing like a fire alarm, you're not alone. The World Health Organization says 1.1 billion people (yes, billion with a "B") are at risk of hearing loss thanks to all that bass we love so much. And let's be honest—most of us have skipped the earplugs because they either look terrible or feel like stuffing a potato into your ear. Enter Hears. When superstar DJs Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano noticed they were one of the few people using hearing protection, they teamed up with us at ManGo Product Design to change that. Their goal? Create earplugs people actually want to wear—both functional and stylish. Hears had a vision: earplugs that not only protect your ears but also look good doing it. We started by crafting three stylish concepts, each with its own unique flair. The winning design? A sleek earplug that, when overlapped, forms a heart shape. The "Coin" design, with its luxe, jewelry-like finish, can even be customized with branding from top artists, clubs, and festivals. We also worked through the complexities of PPE certification, partnered with top OEMs, and engineered filters that balance noise reduction with perfect sound quality. The result? A product so good it won the internationally acclaimed Red Dot Design Award. So, next time you hit a festival, don’t just dress to impress—protect your ears with Hears. Your future self will thank you! Innovate in style, check: https://lnkd.in/eS7jJAB3 #HearingProtection #DesignInnovation #ProductDesign #IndustrialDesign #Hears #FestivalReady #RedDotAward
