Sony h.ear on headphones inspire designers (Video)

The new Sony "h.ear on" over-ear headphone line has inspired a fashion-forward project that adds sophistication to any winter outfit.

Sony and RISK join forces

Sony, in collaboration with RISK made in Warsaw, has introduced a project that proves city winters don’t have to be limited to shades of black and gray. Designers Antonina Samecka and Klara Kowtun drew inspiration from the color palette and design of the new "h.ear on" headphones to create an original scarf-hood that perfectly complements any winter look.

Of course, headphones should first and foremost sound great, but we believe they also need to look good. They’re just as much a style statement as a handbag or jewelry — they can set the whole look – comments Antonina Samecka.

Scarf-hood instead of a hat

RISK made in Warsaw is known for blending simplicity with modern style in their designs — a formula that works exceptionally well in urban environments. Their latest creation, a scarf-hood hybrid, exemplifies this approach. The outer layer functions as a hood, while the inner portion can be transformed into a fashionable scarf. The scarf-hood, designed by RISK made in Warsaw, also features a lining that echoes the vibrant color scheme of the "h.ear on" headphones.

We first thought about designing a hat that would highlight the headphones’ design, but ultimately chose a more uncompromising approach — instead of separating the wearer from music, we brought it closer by creating a private sound zone under the hood. The lining of the scarf-hood matches the headphones' color perfectly, enhances the outfit’s style, and has a practical advantage — unlike hats, it won’t mess up your hairstyle – adds Samecka.

Private sound zone

Beyond its fashion appeal, the scarf-hood serves a functional purpose. While over-ear headphones are extremely popular in Poland, their comfort during colder weather is often limited. RISK made in Warsaw’s new proposal offers an elegant, stylish alternative to hats that doesn’t interfere with the pleasure of listening to music. With this accessory, anyone can look great while wearing over-ear headphones.

The set, consisting of the scarf-hood and "h.ear on" headphones, will be available on the RISK made in Warsaw website from the second half of January 2016.

The Sony over-ear headphones "h.ear on" combine bold, cohesive finishes with comfortable fit and perform superbly in urban environments. With a range of eye-catching colors, everyone can find a pair that suits their personal style. The headphones come in four vibrant colors — lime green, cyan, dark pink, and terracotta red — while a classic version is available in steel gray. Paired with the scarf-hood, every outfit will look original and fresh.

Summary

The Sony over-ear headphones from the "h.ear on" line served as the starting point for a fashion project co-created with RISK made in Warsaw. Designers Antonina Samecka and Klara Kowtun developed a scarf-hood whose lining mirrors the headphones’ vibrant color scheme.

The solution has a practical dimension: under the hood, a private sound zone is created, and unlike hats, the accessory won’t ruin your hairstyle. The set will be available on the RISK made in Warsaw website starting the second half of January 2016. The headphones come in four vibrant colors and a steel gray version.
