Sony Ericsson Develops Contact Headphones

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the sounds-like-another-point-of-failure dept.

TechnologyResource writes "Sony Ericsson has just introduced the MH907 headphones. The headphones will pause or play your music based on contact; eliminating the use of a pause or stop button. Removing one ear bud will pause the music. Removing both ear buds will stop the music. Both ear buds have to be in your ear to play the music. According to Sony Ericsson, this will allow you to 'play your music and answer phone calls just by inserting the buds into your ear or taking them out.'"

  1. I always half listen at work... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Redundant

    I always listen to my music with one ear bud out and one ear bud in because i'm at work. If I have both in then i'm not able to appear like i'm paying attention or more readily hear someone asking me a question. I very rarely get to listen to both ears during the day. Also gives a great way to listen to music all day without worrying about hurting my ears as i listen for 60 minutes on one side, and switch to the other for 60 minutes. I do this all day. Stinks, i like the concept but totally not applicable to anyone i know, myself included who does this same thing.
