Incase - Travel Headphone with Noise Cancellation

The Design Challenge -

Incase needed a premium, travel-ready over-ear headphone with active noise cancellation targeting a $300 price point. The key objective was creating a collapsible, one-size-fits-all architecture that hid moving mechanical parts and cable routing—all while ensuring long-wear memory foam comfort and compact stowability in a custom travel case.

The Design Solution -

Starting with broad architectural ideation across ten distinct folding concepts, we optimized the headphone's ergonomics and usage without compromising brand identity. The final design delivers a minimal, hardware-free silhouette that conceals all moving mechanical parts, complemented by a signature two-tone color treatment and an intuitive folding mechanism. Key technical details include dedicated left/right sound directionality, a removable cable, and leatherette-covered memory foam earcups for comfort and sound isolation.
