Onyxe Tests 83 Heads to Design Indian Headphone Fit
Onyxe is a company that makes headphones.
Before making a new headphone, they asked 83 people to try it on.
They measured how the headband curved, how long it was, and how far apart the ear cups were.
They used the average of all the measurements to design the final headphone.
This helps people in India fit the headphones better because most headphones are made for people in other countries.
Onyxe tested headphone fit on 83 people before tooling.
Study measured headband curvature, length, and ear cup spacing.
Final design based on the mean of 83 results, aiming for widest range.
Lack of Indian anthropometric data drives need for local testing.
Opera‑1 headphone priced Rs 7,499 with Qualcomm QCC3044 chipset.
