RE: Will Soundbeamer Replace Headphones?

Well, this is an interesting development for the whole listening technology. I guess it is only a matter of time until they make it more portable and extend its range. However, I think they will need to come up with something better than bluetooth to make truly revolutionary. However, as one is always carrying or being near a device maybe that isn't a problem. I wonder how does that feel. Is it like when you sing something in your mind, except this time you know it isn't you?

I personally did not have the chance to try it out. But during research for the article, I've read a few comments from people who tried it out at CES and they were thrilled with the technology.
Also, for the time being, this isn't something portable. It's a replacement for your speakers and headphones at home. For example, streamers will love it as it will allow them to hear the game while not interfering with the microphone, interact with their families and lose the headphones which - let's face it - no matter how good or comfy they are, aren't as comfy as having none.
So, Bluetooth isn't that big of a deal as you can also connect it to your device through a cable. But for the future, definitely. But then you are again facing the problem of needing to carry a device on your that has a direct vision of your ears and Sony already tried that in the Concept N - a necklace and people did not enjoy wearing a necklace instead of headphones.
It may have some wonderful applications in the real of cover recording. That way you can keep track of everything you need to do to get a quality recording without having to meddle with the recording devices.
