EARphones were born from a simple yet profound belief: that sound has the power to connect us—to ourselves, to nature, and to each other. Inspired by true stories of how mindfulness, music, and movement intertwine, EARphones were created as a way to make listening a moment of ease and contemplation in an otherwise busy world.
Each pair of EARphones invites you to immerse yourself in the sounds of nature: the gentle rhythm of waves, the soft tumble of pebbles in a riverbed, or the calming patter of rain. These sounds are not just heard; they’re felt. They create a space for instant contemplation, fostering a sense of presence and harmony without making claims of healing.
Crafted from PLA, a material designed to break down into compost in nature, EARphones reflect a commitment to sustainability and care for the planet. This is an idea still in its early stages, but one we are excited to share and grow with others.
At EARphones, we dream of making listening not just an act but a joyful experience—one that many can cherish and share.
The art, installations and communities made by Kaspar König evolve to create momentum for social and environmental change in the realm of sonic cultures, design and soundart. He is setting up a social space called Environmental Artistic Research (EAR.education) and loves when people have time to listen to connect deeper. He builds new instruments out of old ones and provokes sounds from the unexpected and the unseen.
