Industrial design meets Y2K jewelry: aluminum alloy and padlock charm details
Unlike the minimalist wireless earphones that dominate the market, wired earphones have an inherently unrestrained, casual feel. Under creative director Glenn Martens, DIESEL brings its signature industrial aesthetic to everyday tech accessories. The new earphones are made from durable materials including aluminum alloy, zinc alloy, and ABS, with classic metal-braided cable detailing, the brand’s signature oval “D” logo, and a metal padlock charm, transforming them into street-style jewelry with strong Y2K DNA.
Cool and practical: a built-in microphone and eco-friendly packaging
Beyond their eye-catching street-style look, these earphones make no compromises on everyday functionality. The cable has a built-in microphone for calls and music playback controls. The entire range also comes in eco-friendly packaging, in line with the brand’s longstanding commitment to sustainability. For those who favor a sleek street style, these earphones are like a fashionable necklace that also lets you make calls and listen to music.
At a time when tech brands are generally embracing a pared-back, cool aesthetic, DIESEL cleverly turns a functional accessory into a statement piece. Among similar audio accessories, it stands out for its visual impact and distinctive design. Even casually draped around your neck or hung from your bag, it can add dimension to an entire outfit. The brand has yet to announce a specific price, yet this design’s blend of rebellious aesthetics and practicality is compelling on its own.
