Speaking of CES Unveiled (as we will most likely for a little bit longer), the oddest sight of the show (we’re pretty used to Interactive Toy’s duck and shotgun thing by now) might well have been SonoMax’s table. The company was showing off its new Sculpted Eers customized earbuds.
The product comes with what looks like some manner of medical gear. Pop them over your ears, and they will custom fit silicon earbuds for your ears only–the sort of high end treatment you suspect only people like Lady Gaga and Bono get. The whole process takes about four minutes, according to the company. Gearlog was looking into the possibility of getting our own, but the line was too damn long–maybe next year…
According to Sonomax, the custom earbuds offer such advantages as crisper sound, more frequency (including improved bass), a secure fit on your ears, and hearing protection. Perhaps we’ll be able to get our hands on the things when the show floor opens up on Thursday.
No official word yet on when the headphones will be available to the unwashed, non-Gaga masses.
