Sony believe that they may have found the future of headphones - unveiling their new Concept N set which don't actually come in contact with the ears at all.
Unveiled at SXSW this week during their Future Lab Program, the Concept N 'headphones' are somewhat of a revalation in that they sit around the neck with built-in multi-directional speakers sending sound up towards the ears to allow the listener to hear the music at a high quality while still being able to heard other external noise - working towards making a better experience for running, commuting and travelling.
They also come with a microphone to be voice controlled and have a built in camera. Check out the demonstration below.
As The Verge reports, while it 'feels like a finished product', the set is still in a prototype stage as their as some kinks and issues to be resolved, however it is hoped that Concept N could hit the shelves later this year.
