How-To: Rock Star Headphones By Syuzi PakhchyanKeep the chill away by making gear that will keep your ears warm and protected from the harsh winter wind. The Rock Star Headphones require you to hack into an existing set of headphones and incorporate it into a new design. The Rock Star will also have two square LEDs sewn onto the exterior of the ear warmers. The LEDs have both an aesthetic function and a practical, safety function: making the wearer visible for jogging or biking at night. The circuit incorporates a soft switch made from conductive hook and loop, so the LEDs turn on only when the headphones are worn.
