Posh Hands-Free Tie Lets You Chat In Style

A concept device outside the standard Bluetooth hands free communication craze.

The Tie Up is a new concept for hands-free communication that tackles the problem of poor sound quality (e.g., echo, speakerphone effect) while having a stylish design derived from a business/fashion icon, The Tie.

As opposed to the earpiece, which is just far from your mouth; the Tie Up provides better sound for the people you are conversing with by placing the mic right below your mouth. Simply wear your ‘techie tie’, slide it up the lanyard to answer and down to hang up. Volume can be controlled (up/down) by circular motion.

Designer Wooteik Lim has come up with a hands-free headset concept that is designed to function better than current headset technology while simultaneously allowing you to look classy. Although the Tie Up might just look a little more like a stethoscope if there are headphones involved, Lim's idea provides an interesting alternative to the standard hands-free headset tech.
