Enhanced, Just for You
This project reimagines the Sony WH-1000XM5 with a softer aesthetic, fresh colour options, and a simplified app experience that makes pairing and sound control effortless. The goal is to create a more personal, intuitive, and enjoyable listening experience tailored to each user.
These wireframes map out a cleaner, more intuitive companion app for the Sony WH-1000XM5. The layout focuses on effortless pairing, easy device switching, and quick access to sound controls like noise cancellation, presets, and EQ sliders. By simplifying navigation and organizing features into clear sections, the design makes advanced headphone customization feel straightforward and user-friendly.
These final screens bring the redesigned Sony app to life with a warm colour palette, simple layouts, and intuitive controls. Pairing, switching devices, adjusting noise cancellation, and customizing sound profiles all feel straightforward and playful. By organizing features into clean sections and using soft, inviting visuals, the design makes advanced headphone settings easy for anyone to explore and enjoy.
This concept introduces a smoother, more intuitive folding mechanism using circular hinge joints that guide the headphones to fold inward without stress or twisting. It solves the common issue of users accidentally forcing the fold and damaging the device. The design also adds a simple, touch-friendly button layout on the earcups, arranged in a clear circular pattern for quick control of volume, playback, calls, and voice assistants. Together, these changes make the headphones easier to fold, easier to handle, and easier to use every day.
This accessory set elevates the user experience with effortless charging and organized storage. The wireless charger removes the hassle of tangled cables, making it easy to power the headphones by simply placing them on the base. A backup USB-C option is included for flexibility, while the compact carry bag keeps everything neatly stored and travel-ready. Together, these additions create a smoother, more convenient daily routine charging made simple, and essentials always within reach.
The design introduces a softer, more modern shape with smooth curves and rounded edges that make the headphones feel comfortable, friendly, and premium. The colour palette explores warm, expressive tones, such as coral, clay, teal, and cream, bringing a fresh personality to the product. These colours not only stand out but also give users the chance to choose a style that matches their mood and identity. Together, the gentle geometry and vibrant palette create headphones that look as enjoyable as they sound.
This redesign brings new life to the Sony WH-1000XM5 by blending expressive colours, a softer form, and smarter interactions. With an improved folding mechanism, rubberized controls, seamless app integration, and wireless charging, the experience becomes more intuitive, more personal, and far more enjoyable. It’s a fresh take on premium headphones designed for comfort, clarity, and everyday ease.
