Conventional wireless earbuds require users to hold the case with one hand and remove each earbud with the other before placing them into the ears—an interaction that becomes inconvenient or even impossible when both hands aren’t freely available. ‘re:verse’ is the result of a form-driven exploration focused on creating a wireless earbud that can be used intuitively and confidently with just one hand. The case features a recessed affordance that naturally guides the hand for easy opening. To enable seamless one-handed insertion, the earbud is partially pre-positioned in the ear while the user pulls the case downward. As the case slides away, an internal magnet system guides the earbud into place, expanding the distance between components and securing it in the ear. This innovative mechanism allows users with limited hand mobility to use wireless earbuds without exclusion. Moreover, in everyday scenarios—such as holding onto a handrail in public transport—‘re:verse’ ensures that even typical users can wear their earbuds smoothly without interrupting their flow or experience. It’s a design that combines inclusivity, usability, and elegance, bringing wireless audio to more people, more naturally.
