It really is using the skin and/or the body as the path. Assume they get it to work and it even gets into stores. Now to use this thing you have to have a good conductive connection between both devices and your skin. No rubber or soft cloth - that's going to have to be bare metal (or something close to). Also, this connection would have to be maintained for a long, persistent basis because if either end breaks the connection, the music is gone.

That pretty much means no jogging with this stuff, unless you want to REALLY strap it to your side so the movement won't jar it. Problem is, I can't think of any other potential applications for this... and isn't it Sony who is pushing Bluetooth hard with the PS3?

I don't see a use for this at all. Only a really stupid company would try to bring a limited technology like this to market, but then again Sony's track record lately squares with that trend. I sure won't be touching these.]]>Nov 10th 2006 1:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/10/sony-set-to-rock-your-body-with-wireless-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/10/sony-set-to-rock-your-body-with-wireless-headphones/Nov 10th 2006 2:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/10/sony-set-to-rock-your-body-with-wireless-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/10/sony-set-to-rock-your-body-with-wireless-headphones/
I kinda discovered as a kid, if you have a tape deck and amp connected by RCA cable, and if you strip and cut one of the 2 wires of the RCA cable, and by holding both end of the cut wire, you can actually conduct music signal.

The audio signal works over the high resistivity of human body, is because if the high V and I ratio keep the power loss to minimal.

The fun part is, you can create human bridge and still work somewhat. Say if you have 2 people, the MORE contact between the 2, the louder the music. heeheeeheee would be a fun game for lovers...

I guess the technology in the article is more about digital signal...

Also, last time I read, Philips has the patent in using human body to transfer data, wonder how Sony has gotten this patent, as music is some kind of data too.]]>Nov 10th 2006 2:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/10/sony-set-to-rock-your-body-with-wireless-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/10/sony-set-to-rock-your-body-with-wireless-headphones/Nov 10th 2006 10:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/10/sony-set-to-rock-your-body-with-wireless-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/10/sony-set-to-rock-your-body-with-wireless-headphones/Sep 9th 2009 2:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/10/sony-set-to-rock-your-body-with-wireless-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/10/sony-set-to-rock-your-body-with-wireless-headphones/Nov 10th 2006 3:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/10/sony-set-to-rock-your-body-with-wireless-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/10/sony-set-to-rock-your-body-with-wireless-headphones/Nov 10th 2006 3:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/10/sony-set-to-rock-your-body-with-wireless-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/10/sony-set-to-rock-your-body-with-wireless-headphones/I guess one just has be careful that thing doesnt send tunes through the pacemaker by 'accident'. Celine does not need another knock on her record by having her music kill someone. ]]>Nov 10th 2006 4:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/10/sony-set-to-rock-your-body-with-wireless-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/10/sony-set-to-rock-your-body-with-wireless-headphones/Nov 10th 2006 4:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/10/sony-set-to-rock-your-body-with-wireless-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/10/sony-set-to-rock-your-body-with-wireless-headphones/Nov 10th 2006 6:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/10/sony-set-to-rock-your-body-with-wireless-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/10/sony-set-to-rock-your-body-with-wireless-headphones/Nov 10th 2006 8:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/10/sony-set-to-rock-your-body-with-wireless-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/10/sony-set-to-rock-your-body-with-wireless-headphones/Nov 10th 2006 9:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/10/sony-set-to-rock-your-body-with-wireless-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/10/sony-set-to-rock-your-body-with-wireless-headphones/Nov 10th 2006 10:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/10/sony-set-to-rock-your-body-with-wireless-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/10/sony-set-to-rock-your-body-with-wireless-headphones/Nov 10th 2006 11:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/10/sony-set-to-rock-your-body-with-wireless-headphones/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/10/sony-set-to-rock-your-body-with-wireless-headphones/

One example (NNT, Japan):

Due to its transmission via skin voltages, the power requirements would be next to nothing. Their headset can probably run off a very small rechargeable battery that would only occassionally need to be charged. This could be one of the coolest add-ons ever for the PS3.]]>Nov 15th 2006 1:43AM
