Sony PFR-V1 Headset simulates ”Speaker in near your ear”

Sony redefines the world of sound with its new 2007 PFR-V1 Personal Field Speaker that mimics audiophile grade front-facing speakers. First in the industry (and the world) to separate bass from mid and treble frequencies so that users can hear even better sound. Bass sounds are reproduced through a new “extended bass reflex duct” which extends directly into the ear canals. Mid and treble frequencies are projected through the two unique looking spheres towards the ears just like a pair of two perfectly positioned speakers. Result? An extended frequency playback of 35Hz to 25KHz, with better frequency separation. The new, and one-of-a-kind “Personal Field Speaker” PFR-V1 comes with ultra large drivers of 21mm (newly developed by Sony) for superb sound reproduction. A new flagship headphone, or should we say, speaker-on-your-head on the market.

Home Theater worth of $6 Million

Well wonder no more. Pictured is a home theater owned by Jeremy Kipnis, a music engineer/producer. It’s got 39 separate speaker units and 36 amplifiers. The entire equipment list will make you cry (which I have included after the jump for your sobbing pleasure). He plans to sell similar systems to other rich folks like Lucas and Spielburg, but for right now he’s the only one that’s gone so crazy.
