Fungi Sound- Sustainable Mycelium Headphones


Reinterpreting headphone design from a sustainable approach, and thus uniting nature and technology

FUNGI SOUND seeks to be a new hearing experience, creating headphones based on mycelium, a biomaterial obtained from the Pleurotus fungus, commonly known as mushrooms. This material has high acoustic absorption, a property that optimizes audio quality.

We were also inspired by the photoluminescence of certain fungi to incorporate details with photoluminescent paint, an intelligent material that emits light radiation when subjected to UV radiation.

This is how unique headphones are created, with biodegradable materials that guarantee an optimal experience for the user without sacrificing the environment.
