Google has not introduced significant updates to its Nest speaker lineup for over four years, and its Pixel Buds earphones have only seen minor improvements. The Pixel Tab, intended as a successor to the smart speaker, has not sold well. In contrast, competitors like Sony, Microsoft, and Apple have strong offerings in the headphone market. With a rising demand for over-ear headphones, designer Sidhant Patnaik's concept for Pixel Headphones captures the aesthetic of the Pixel Buds Pro while potentially leveraging Google's AI capabilities.
The headphone space is very lucrative, with devices costing upwards of $200 providing enough of a profit margin. A lot of people overwhelmingly prefer over-ear audio to in-ear buds that are tinny, sound weak, and have low battery lives.
Sidhant's concept captures the Pixel Buds Pro's design aesthetic perfectly, translating its soft, pebble-esque form into a larger, over-ear headset.
The headphones are the perfect delivery platform for Google's AI service, Gemini.
The iconic pebble shape can be found in the headset's individual 'cans', with the Google monogram sitting perfectly in the center, as usual.
