The Volution Bluetooth Headset is quite interesting. It isn't a huge digression from typical headset technologies, yet it is able to approach an acceptable level of cool. The design implies a single touch-to-answer button surrounded by growing concentric rings. The microphone input is a tiny pink segment at the end of the ring. An alternate view of the device may be found below:
The design itself seems to symbolize our visual representation of sound. The concentric rings seem to be capturing this sound, funneling it to the wearer - like a satellite dish or one of those supersonic-hearing toys you may have played with as a kid. Granted this design is not technically necessary, it does give a futuristic aura - as do most concentric ring designs. From the side is almost appears to be that of a planet such as Saturn, with its many rings.
Overall, I feel as though this is a wonderful design. It strays far away from the overused Jawbone-like design, yet retains it's representative use by the user and passer byes. The deep pink contrasting the white portrays feelings of class and elegance while simultaneously nodding to the future (or at least the future as we currently envision it).
This device does imply an earing-like design; therefore, it may look a bit more natural to employ two devices, one in each ear. Such a device could then be used as a bluetooth headset - ultimately a much more useful and marketable product.
