Want to look like you have a horrendous neck injury? Enjoy surround sound? Not concerned with attracting mates? Then you may be the target market for the GSM-surround, which is already in the running for most bizarre product showing at the upcoming Mobile World Congress.
The GSM-Surround is a halo-shaped headset that, according to manufacturers TubeSurround, has “6 built in speakers that go around your head ping ponging sound from all directions into your cranium.” Because all I need today is more cranial pingponging.
In another brilliant quote from their press materials, “TubeSurround will represent the future of 3, 4, 5, 6 dimensional surround sound peak.” Because all I need today is to rip a hole in the space-time continuum with my headphones.
The device also appears to use bone conduction, which only adds to the terror. Actually, looking at the graphic at left, I suspect the GSM-Surround may subtract your intrinsic field, turning you into Dr. Manhattan. Which has its upsides.
TubeSurround, a Danish company, did not list a price or availability on their Web site, which is probably a good thing. If you want to enjoy the carnival of cranial table tennis, though, check them out at www.gsmsurround.com.
