Of course it doesn’t end there and there is many variations that have been developed which relate to all of the images above.

Essentially the company produce fashion(or clothing) that contains built in speakers. Recently most portable audio developments come or work with a set of headphones but this innovation strips portable audio down to the Boom Box era where music is played out loud. I think the idea is so that people can part take in outdoor activities without being attached to wires. Clothing developed at the moment consists of items such as a vest, jacket and a backpack. All of which I wouldn’t call very fashionable designs. However for outdoor situations it does allow for audio to be played completely  handsfree and wireless which is convenient in certain situations.
