Batband by StudioBananaThings (2015)

Batband is a product that promises to deliver studio quality sound without the intrusion of in-ear earphones. Batband works by emitting sound waves that reverberate through the skull and then get picked up by the inner ear, in a process the creators call “bone conduction technology”. Because Batband leaves your ear canal free, you can simultaneously process sound coming from the device linked to Batband, and sound coming from the outside world. This means that you can listen to music, answer phone calls, or use any other sound-incorporating function on your phone, without losing track of what’s going on in your immediate surroundings.

Batband combines portablity and functionality
