Don’t know what to get someone for the holidays? What about a device that beams music directly into their heads!
Consequence of Sound explains what the next generation of headphones will be all about:
“Apple revolutionized the game with noise cancellation AirPods, but one Israeli company is coming for their throne. According to the Associated Press, Noveto Systems has invented a new product that can beam music directly into your head — no earbuds or brain implants necessary.
The device is aptly called SoundBeamer 1.0. It reportedly works by creating a personal sound bubble for the user with 3D audio of their choosing — be it from an album, movie, or video game — while filtering in the natural sounds already occurring around them. The benefit of using the SoundBeamer 1.0 is that you get the surround-sound experiencing of proper audio without any of the pain of headphones or being out of touch with your surroundings.”
One of my biggest pet peeves is that sometimes when someone is wearing headphones, you can still hear what they are listening to. Completely oblivious to their surroundings they have no idea just how loud their music really is. A fact that has ruined many a flight for me.
Hopefully, this technology can eliminate that problem by making it so that only the user can hear what is being beamed to them and the rest of us can continue about our business in peace. In a way that makes these reverse noise-canceling headphones that make it impossible to inadvertently project noise outward. I definitely like the sound of that.
