Spracht. It's probably not a company name you're intimately familiar with, but as with
Jawbone, we're fully expecting it to become a mainstay in the
Bluetooth earpiece sector after this unveiling. The Aura EQ earset is one of the wildest BT devices we've seen to date, boasting a slick, almost futuristic design and a smattering of features that are startlingly unique. For starters, it ships with twin switchable, focusable microphones, and if its ability to pair with up to eight phones doesn't bowl you over, maybe the built-in six-band equalizer will. Essentially, this headset will amplify and equalize the voice of whoever is speaking, which compensates for volume loss in certain ranges when communicating on a windy day or over a lackluster connection. Finally, exterior touts a capacitive volume control: simply slide your finger up or down the base, and the volume increases or decreases. No knobs or minuscule rocker switches to fuddle with. You'll be able to check this out worldwide in March for around $79 (estimated street price).

That is one sexay headset!! I want!!
@Po That, and when I get one I can consider myself a Borg and become a part of the collective...
Nice. Adjusting the volume using silly little buttons is a pain in the ear, so this touch volume method is welcome. And not a bad price for a designer headset either.
Estimated 80 bucks!? watch out Jawbone. Nice accessory for my Droid.
What if... Pyramid Head made Bluetooth headsets.
looks great... just two questions.
1 - what's the actual size?
2 - what's the call quality?
Capacitive surface controls are the future of tactile input, I was wondering when they'd start showing up in mainstream devices like this.
I for one can't wait 'till most any surface at our fingertips is potentially an input/feedback interface.
I can't wait for retailers to price-gouge and manipulate the supply chain to drive up the price of this headset!
nooiiicceee
niceeee

really glad the comment system still doesn't work right even after i create a new account and still posts two comments.
Does look cool and has great features but I'd much prefer it if the controls were resistive. I say this because if you have gloves on, you'd have to take them off to use capacitive controls. I wonder how long the battery life is as well considering all these features...I hate constantly having to charge my headset.
"Can you speak up? I went to adjust my earpiece because it was falling out. Now, I can't hear you!"
Anyone else think that this looks like it belongs on the set of Stargate?
@shellscape i kinda thought it looks like the panels off of battle star
me wanty
This looks promising. It also reminds me of the "marker" from Dead Space games.
is that the Pyramid Head Bluetooth?
