"Current wireless headphones typically use infrared, radio spectrum, or Bluetooth, all of which are prone to casual disruption. Sony aims to change that with their body-wired headphone patent application. Their headphones would basically use your own body to carry the music up to the headphones, via a few millionths of an amp that turns you into a human capacitor. The resulting music would be 48kps quality, which according to Sony is plenty."



Talk about a wet wired. Seems pretty cool though personally I haven’t been really bothered by my corded head phones but this is cool none the less.

Okay, so this just makes me think about possibilities for waaay better music sharing. Skin contact.

Beats the wifi thing that the Zune brings.
