DVR headphones keep an eye on the crowd while you spin
Even in person, Altec-Lansing's new DVR DJ-Style headphones seem more like a "because we could" item than something the world has been desperately asking for. They pack a tiny 1080p camera in one ear cup, pointing forward so the wearer can record the crowd they're (presumably) inciting into a near riot through the power of music. On the CES show floor it's impossible to say with certainty what kind of audio quality they have, but Altec-Lansing says the $200 cans will stream video out over WiFi, or store it onboard for use/blackmail later.
Altec Lansing's DJ headphones pack a camera for livestreaming
We've seen a company pack a camera in headphones for DJs before, but unfortunately, those cans never shipped. At CES 2016, Altec Lansing is packing the feature inside its DVR DJ-style headphones. In addition to providing audio, the gadget can capture 1080p video at 30 fps. And thanks to built-in WiFi, you can livestream the footage to a projector screen or store it inside the cans for later use. There's 8GB of said space that's expandable up to 32GB with an SD card. With all of those bells and whistles, you'd expect battery life to take a hit. However, Altec Lansing says you can expect up to seven hours of power before needing to recharge when the $200 headphones go on sale next quarter.
