Ear plugs 3D design - New ideas welcome!

This is what a business in Australia was looking for in their 3D design

I'd like to design a stylish and modern earplug that looks distinctive.
I am looking for ideas that people will be proud to wear - on the train, at concerts etc.
The closest competitor I've found is LOOP Earplugs. However, instead of a circle, I'd like it to be a heart shape - this seems more ergonomic to the shape of the ear and will look more unique.

Please design the following:
- Earplugs: taking the simple design in the attached images, but updating the circle to a heart
- Case: Please create a simple case for the earplugs to go in. These should easily be able to be thrown into a purse. They should look modern, but also unique.

There is no brand name for this.

Can't wait to see your ideas! Read more
