MAZE: A Nostalgic Twist to Modern Headphones

Imego Infinity Llc's Award-Winning Design Combines Old School Charm with Modern Technology

Imego Infinity Llc's MAZE, a professional headphone design, pays homage to the past while embracing the future. Inspired by the gramophone, the design incorporates a semi-transparent vinyl record-like deco plate with a metal slider that simulates the tone arm, resulting in a unique aesthetic that appeals to the modern, efficiency-seeking yuppie.

What sets MAZE apart from other headphone designs is its patented maze shape design, visible through the semi-transparent panel. This design, inspired by the phonograph cylinder, not only enhances the product's aesthetic appeal but also its acoustic performance, providing extraordinary high fidelity sound. The unique Live! sound feature offers listeners a unique on-stage concert audio experience, typically only available with the amplified system from a concert hall.

MAZE is equipped with high-performance neodymium 40mm drivers, designed to be 30% thinner than a normal speaker. This design maximizes the air cabinet volume, resulting in better low-end response. The headphones are lightweight and comfortable, ensuring a pleasant experience no matter how long they are worn. The sunglass-style folding mechanism also makes the headphones portable and easy to store.

The headphones are easy to operate. Users simply connect the audio jack of the headphones to an audio source that can be connected through a 3.5mm jack, such as a CD, MP3, or DVD player. Once the source equipment is turned on and the volume adjusted, the headphones can be worn over the ears and the headband adjusted for a comfortable fit. The headphones also come with a mic with control for various functions like answering or ending calls, call waiting, and more.

The design process for MAZE began in February 2013 in the US and was completed in September 2013. The product dimensions are 18cm x 16.5cm x 7cm. The design has been tagged with keywords such as "Maze," "Vinyl Record," "LIVE," "I-MEGO," and "Yuppie."

MAZE's unique design and high-quality sound have not gone unnoticed. In 2014, the design was awarded Platinum in the A' Digital and Electronic Device Design Award. This prestigious award recognizes world-class, exceptional, and highly innovative designs that showcase unmatched professionalism, contribute to societal wellbeing, and advance the boundaries of art, science, design, and technology.
