NOX Audio Android Headphones

It is possible that in a few years only few people will use multimedia players. This concept will disappear from our everyday vocabulary as well as the headphones, and in exchange they will receive a new one - smartphones. Blame around will be NOX Audio's revolutionary Admiral Touch headphones, which will go on sale in late 2011. The fact is that they will be running ... Android!

A bit about the exhibition and the company

The first smart headphone (from Smart words - smart, Headphones - headphones, that's exactly what journalists called it) was demonstrated just a few days ago at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES). This is one of the most famous innovation exhibitions, which has been annually held in the USA since 1967. The time of the exhibition is the beginning of January, and the audience is over 120 thousand people. For example, in 2010, the exhibition showed a huge cubic touch screen Intel Infoscape based on the Core i7 processor.

This year, CES also brought a lot of surprises, among which were various Android devices - from smartphones to tablets. But no one expected to see the Admiral Touch headphones presented by NOX Audio among the devices of this OS. By the way, NOX Audio has long been famous for its products, for example, adapters and headphones for game consoles with stunning designs and interesting features.

After the first news about the device in Western forums and media resources, many began to wonder: why do headphones need an OS at all? Responsible, as always, divided into two camps. The first approved the device and said that it is very convenient, practical and just unusual.
