Bone Conducting Headphones – Outi

outi

It's inevitable that living in any town or city you're going to have to pump up the volume on your headphones to drown out the sound of traffic and stabbings. Until now the alternative has been noise cancelling headphones.

Outi – these headphones work by vibrating part of your ear bone, completely bypassing your ear drums and heading straight to the party in your head. Entirely removing any worries about going deaf in your old age you can listen to your music seriously loud, throw in some earplugs and you're well and truly ignoring everything around you in a sea of sound inaudible to the surrounding elderly. Amazing!

Sweet. I wondered how long it would be before I saw something like this. Next step: subcutaneous implants working on the same - vibrating - principle. They'd have to be wireless, of course...
