The Audio Can has a single mini-jack input to accommodate portable music sources, and several cans can be daisy-chained together for the ultimate in surround technology. Imagine the shopping cart theater! Presently only available form ebay for around $44, you can order the Audio Can with a fashionable gray, yellow, or green label. Why not collect all three?
The Audio Can from designer Dean Brown is not a headphone; it’s an actual can that used to house normal things like cat food. Brown was apparently inspired by the old can and string telephone (a device long known for its excellent fidelity) and he decided to replace the beans with a 9V battery powered amplifier and a top-firing speaker.
Sony Ericsson have released a new set of revolutionary (their words not the worlds) headphones that are activated solely on your body contact with them, named the MH907′s.
Using Sony Ericsson’s patented “SensMe” technology, you can remove one ear-bud to pause your music to then answer or end a phone conversation, pull them both out to stop and playback, and put them both in to start again. On top of that, you can’t accidentally answer your phone if its bumped in your bag while the headphones are in. The concept seems to fit nicely into a world that’s a fan of becoming quicker and smoother all the time, but the main problem is that you must own a Sony Ericsson phone with a “Fast port” connector. Ericsson it would appear are trying to shift more handsets off the back of some new headphones that cost 40 Euros extra. To expensive, not compatible enough me thinks. The Ericsson site does offer a short description about and around the new headphones but doesn’t fully explain anywhere exactly how compatible with other handsets the headphones will be. With an equally vague promo video.
