I've mentioned it before, but I don't mind bringing it up again: Wifi headphones. A sort of cross-breeding between a Duet Receiver and a Boom, that you can wear on your head. Top-quality headphone speakers, controlled via the Controller. Rechargeable (obviously), with a convenient drop-them-in-the-cradle charging stand much like the Sennheiser wireless headphones. I have a set of Sennheisers, and I like them well enough, but the sound quality is not top-notch; I know the Logitech/Slim engineers could do much better. Oh, maybe include some very basic controls on the phones themselves: volume, on/off, perhaps next and previous track, maybe even pause. Whatever minimal set of buttons are on the phones would have to have tactile differences, so they could be operated without taking the unit off your head to look at it. But browsing/selecting music would pretty much have to be done via the Controller. A listening time of, say, around four hours on a charge would be acceptable to me.
I know it would take some development effort, but I have a lot of faith in the engineering team from Slim-plus-Logitech. If such a thing were available, and up to the high-quality standards of the Boom and the rest of the SB line, I'd gladly pay the same price as a Boom. There are times when it's simply better to listen to music with headphones, and the options available right now either tether me to a very specific location with a wire, or give me freedom at the cost of audio quality. Someday, perhaps, the SqueezePhones (ick! -- need another name) will be available. Until then, I'll continue to hope. -- Dogberry2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dogberry2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18883 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62455 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
