Design
Erupt features a suspension headband system that is custom designed for long hours of gaming. The machined aluminium cups feature a simple side silhouette but also celebrate a bold open back grill on their faces. This grill pattern is driven by a custom parametric script that creates non-uniform - radially arranged pattern of circles. Behind the grill is acoustic fabric that helps enhance the clarity of the sound. The headphones are as simple as they can get - thus there are no flashy LEDS, cheap plastic parts or unnecessary details.

Process
To find the best structural design for Erupt's Al-Mg drivers, a lot of prototypes were done, some ended up in the bin, some inspired new ideas and others helped the engineering team learn. Sketching was the primary tool to explore aesthetics and product attitude. A lot of 3D data was directly converted into prints to quickly evaluate size, proportion and functionality of various parts.
