Elgin Rebel

The Rebel Earplugs are a truly wireless solution for integrating Bluetooth audio into highly effective hearing protection. These earbuds have been designed to be IP65 and have a Noise Reduction Rating of 25.

Keeping the end-user at the center of our design process, we made decisions focused on providing the best possible experience to our end-users. The decision to utilize a physical button from the recognition that many of our customers wear gloves that inherently limit their dexterity and ability to utilize a capacitive touch surface. The button combines seamlessly with VPA voice controls creating an intuitive and efficient user experience.

Rebel was announced in December 2021.

Role:

Principal designer, responsible for all industrial design, user experience, and rendering assets.
