Magnetic Induction Technology Headset Reviewed

Semi-Anonymous Coward writes "The first review of a wireless headset using Magnetic Induction technolgy has been posted at mobile technology website MobileBurn. The reviewer mentions that the technology provides almost 'crystal clear' phone conversations, which is better than most Bluetooth headsets he has used. The magnetic induction technology creates a 'bubble' around the user which increases the security of their communications. Is this the replacement for Bluetooth in Audio applications? It certainly looks like it..."

~40 years old tech.

The magnetic induction technology creates a 'bubble' around the user which increases the security of their communications

Olde news, Maxwell Smart [gasou.edu] had this back in the 60's.

Ummmm...I don't think so!

Especially since the Earth's magnetic field is weakening and preparing to flip [pbs.org] from N-S to S-N.

Save your money [pbs.org].

Yes, but can you use it...

while wearing your tinfoil hat?

Great

Now when i stand up from my computer I wont step on the chord, yank my neck, and break my headphones everytime.

Re:Long term effects?

Well, look at it this way. If prolonged heavy usage is dangerous, the only people that are going to be realistically affected are telemarketers and tech support drones. This may well be a blessing in disguise.

I'm glad its N-S to S-N. I hate it when it flips E-W to W-E.

I need a better font

[ptomblin]

I thought the company name was "MobileBum". Damn sans-serif fonts.

[JPelorat]

Not really.. maybe if it was 'magnetic induction' and 'jockstrap'...

Re:Great

[PinternetGroper]

I hate it when the chord's fall out of my headphones when I step on it :)

You know, these end-of-the-world type web sites would be a little more believable if they didn't look like they were designed by a color-blind third grader.

[GoofyBoy]

>if it was 'magnetic induction' and 'jockstrap'... .. then it would the perfect opportunity to base email spam business on.

Re:Ummmm...I don't think so!

[PurdueGraphicsMan]

Exactly! Call me a spoil sport but I have trouble accepting the fact that these people are smart enough to know when the Earth is going to end and why, but not smart enough to read an assimilate some basic design concepts and color theory? Come on.

Re:More ads

[hudsonhawk]

...did you even click the link, or did you just look sternly at it and decide to make an angry post?

Mobile Burn [mobileburn.com] is a site that reviews cell phones and accessories.

Auracomm [auracomm.com] is the company that makes the product in question.

An idiot [reference.com] is a person of profound mental retardation having a mental age below three years unable to learn connected speech, such as the nice , pretty complete sentences used in the news item above.

Go away now.

I'm in my bubble...

[theMerovingian]

Can you hear me now?

Re:Great

[sharkey]

I wont step on the chord

C sharp? G flat? We need more information.

it's twice as tragic

[SteelRat]

when the world ends before the conclusion of xmas shopping season.

It would suck to be tossed into the void without having made or spent a grip of cash in the throws of exuberant merchandising.

Yessss, we have for a long time been developing a device, a moving coil if you will, based on advanced principles of magnetic induction by which we transform soundwaves into electrical current. We call this device a "m i c r o p h o n e." Our scientists have managed to reverse this process in similar device we call a "l o u d s p e a k e r." These devices can be combined into a single destructive device we refer to as a "h e a d s e t."

We will require you to provide us with one MEEEELION dollars lest we will be forced to unleash these powerful devices on your populations.

If you resist, we will be forced to also unveil our deathray "e l e c t r o n g u n" that when paired with our "h e a d s e t" will be sure to cause mass chaos, death and destruction.

Really, people, whose going to be afraid of a fricking walkman and a television? Really. Didn't anyone make it out of junior high science class? Anyone?
