Excitement turned quickly to disappointment when I read about this concept MP3 player by Rhea Jeong. The Colorsonic is a bright, glowing donut of color, and I imagined that it would pulse in time to the music, every chromatic heartbeat would pump the spectrum across its smooth suface, like a 3D iTunes visualizer.
But no, it goes more in the direction of Tokyo Flash watches by introducing a hard-to-understand interface. Music is organized by mood, and the colors represent these moods. Finger the ring in the right spot and the playlist will begin. Multiple colors can be selected to mix genres.
One truly neat part is the headphone storage system. Throw the Bluetooth ‘buds inside the donut’s hole and they will stick there, held fast by magnets.
