Headphones not speakers

The Sound Band will be a different headset because it has no speakers. Instead, the Sound Band uses surface-to-surface technology, meaning that the listener's ear is open to receive ambient sound.

Basically, the headset sends small vibrations through the back of the ear, which is how the user can hear without blocking the outside noise. Also, with this method, people around hear no sound from the headphones

The Sound Band is a wireless device that connects to your smartphone via bluetooth. In addition to the music player, the Sound Band also comes with dual multi-directional microphones, so users can also make phone calls. In addition, Sound Band adds noise reduction and echo cancellation technology to help create a clearer sound for the other party.

Over the years, the Sound Band research team has performed repeated experiments before producing the final production model. At first, it was just an idea experiment to see how the surface sound would work, but now it's really like a practical device.

In the final version, the back of the headset has buttons designed to perform various functions. Users can answer the call, turn the device on and off, adjust the volume, etc. The buttons are located behind the head, which means that users will have to familiarize themselves with the feel of the buttons to use. they.

According to Gizmag, Hybrid Advance Technology, which manages the Sound Band, is seeking funding from Kickstarter. Supporters have donated $ 175,000 to the project. Each Sound Band headset is sold for $ 135.
