Third Prototype
We tried a variety of designs before settling with the prototype version we ended up with. This picture shows the first headband headphones. I didn't own a sewing machine at the time, so I was hand-sewing everything with a needle and thread. It was quite tedious, so I soon got a sewing machine for my birthday! That's when we were able to get more serious with the product design. I learned what a bobbin was finally and started to sew. I made many, with many materials, in many sizes, and with many tweaks. Finally I had a design I was happy with, and it's still being sold today! Here, one of our stuffed animal sheep is wearing its SleepPhones. It's sleeping comfortably while listening to an iPod filled with sleep tracks! (It seems that it's always sleeping for some reason...)
