Headphones packaging

 We're all used to seeing headphone packaging that looks like this, right?


Molded plastic, hard to get into without cutting it open and then the plastic edges are sharp and you cut yourself on them. It's a ridiculous amount of unnecessary plastic. Plastic isn't even needed for this.

Which is why I was actually excited when I received my new Urban Ears headphones through the post. No plastic, no plastic at all, just all cardboard, very easy to get into and 100% recyclable.





This was the packaging that my housemate got his new headphones again, again no plastic at all, just layers of corrugated cardboard with the shapes of the headphones cut out. No actual binding in this one either, whereas the Urban Ears box was secured with adhesive, this one is secured with tabs.
