Oversized blocky headphones are actually portable speakers in disguise - Yanko Design
Briefly

Headphones provide privacy and a personal listening experience, but they isolate users and limit social interaction. In contrast, portable speakers allow for sharing music with others, transforming listening into a communal experience. The W-YZ portable speaker creatively combines the design of traditional headphones with the function of a speaker, featuring a unique industrial aesthetic. It emphasizes portability and a minimalist design ethos, making it an intriguing alternative for those seeking to engage with music socially.
At first glance, you almost think you're seeing an extra large pair of headphones because of the conventional design of having two speakers joined by some arching structure.
The W-YZ portable speaker adopts an aesthetic that is reminiscent of the style of teenage engineering, blending industrial style with minimalism to great success.
This speaker concept is almost a tongue-in-cheek jab at headphones by applying their standard silhouette to a speaker and giving a unique industrial aesthetic.
