developed by kiev-based industrial designer, ivan zhurba, this wearable sound system is designed to become a part of you. unlike typical portable bluetooth speakers, this device is envisioned to clip on to the user’s forearm, allowing them to listen to music on the move, whether walking, jogging or cycling.

zhurba proposes the wearable sound system as ‘a logical completion of the era of portable bluetooth speakers that are so popular as today’s everyday accessory for sport, leisure, meditation, any type of active pastime.’ shown in just one size, the device is composed of flat speakers with double sided bass system, a 14000mAh battery, and inflatable waterproof fabric to cushion the user’s arm.

‘feel the vibrations of music through your body. by adding a double sided bass system you can catch and feel every music note and elevate your experience to a whole new level, its not only about hearing the sound, but feeling it.’ ivan zhurba
