Able Planet headphones cancel out bothersome noise of life so you can get into your game
If you love gaming at loud volumes (who doesn't) but don't love the idea of going deaf by the time you're 35 years old, Able Planet might have something to help you out. Their new PS500MM gaming headphones -- developed with technology that was originally used for the moderately hearing-impaired -- are supposedly ultra-noise-canceling, which should free you from the need to crank up the volume just to compete with background noise. They're $99 and available for order now, so you'll probably want to get over there asap, unless, like us, you destroyed your hearing years ago listening to Use Your Illusion II.[Thanks, Christian]
Able Planet's Able Talker Assistive Listening System
It's always good to see companies looking to improve the quality of life for the disabled, and now Able Planet, known for it's audio and communication products, has announced a new wireless audio amplifier for those suffering from hearing loss. The Able Talker Assistive Listening System is a noise filtering microphone that links to the joining Clear Harmony Wireless headphone through proprietary means as far as 35-feet away. Sound is enhanced through its Linx Audio technology that "increases the perceived loudness without boosting volume" and can be transmitted in mono specifically for speech or stereo mode for entertainment. The device runs on just one AAA battery and gets a good 15 hours to the charge.
