Bone conduction speaker system (RLX-P1)

Juniper Foo | Dec 24, 2004

Toshiba's Oto Makura (literally noise pillow) marries both wireless and bone conduction technology to produce what is, only from Japan, a stereo pillow. Simply lay your head on the "pillow" and the infrared base station, which is hooked up to an audio source such as your TV or Hi-Fi, will transmit the sound signals directly to you via the bone conduction speakers built into the headrest. And if you fall into sweet slumber, at least you'll be dreaming in stereo, if not in color.

Price: From US$200
Availability: Japan, Toshiba
Device: Bone conduction speakers
Basic specs: Base of 310 x 160 x 25mm and infrared transmitter of 80 x 97mm, 8 hours on full charge, line input, mic, Lithium-ion and AC adapter
