There is probably no one that does not enjoy music from time to time, which is great. We all listen to CDs and love them a lot. There are those who love listening to music trough earphones as well. Technology has gone to some great lengths in past few years and everything is possible.
Is Music a Distraction?
Somewhere along the line it was probably drilled into our heads that music is a distraction and there was no way it could make you more productive. This may be true for a small portion of the population, but music will mostly help you to release all your creative juices.
If you have not felt productive for some time now, stop for a few seconds and close your eyes and listen to your favorite song. As it is like a quick meditation on what you are supposed to do. Why music helps to do everything in your life with more enthusiasm is really unknown, but now that you know it works, just keep it!
Music and the way we change our Moods
It is a known fact that music can lift your spirits up and make you more productive and to change a bad more occasionally. You probably have a huge playlist on YouTube that you set to shuffle when working by your computer.
Every now and then you can hear something playing in the background that gets your attention… and you lose some time working, just flipping over to the YT window and watching the video. You lose yourself in the sounds of some wonderful song and forget where you are and what you are doing. It happened to all of us at some point. If you spend long hours working by your desk, you need some kind of distraction that will help you with your work and give you something else to think about, but at the same time won’t stop you with your tasks.
The new designed Batband Headset
The correct answer is the music of course. Headphones and earbuds are as we all know very cool and essential tools for listening to our favorite songs. What would happen if you could listen to the sounds of your favorite song “ears free”? It all sound like something from sci-fi channel, right? However, we can thank a solution from Studio Banana Things and their design of a certain product that will blow your mind, so to speak. This solution is called the bone conduction. Now we can all listen to our favorite beets ears-free.
Bone conduction technology was developed sometime during the 1970s. It is a method of audio transmission which is in charge of funneling sound waves directly to the inner ear of the listener trough bones in the skull. Pretty neat! If we take a look at history we can see that hearing aid implants have used this particular technique before, but as of now some manufacturers have started to utilize this technique in order to improve the auditory experience, as it has a lot of potentials.
When you use traditional headphones, you are basically cut off from the surroundings of headphones. That has its own shortcomings as well as perks. The new and high-quality Batband allows users to hear music in your head while at the same time you leave your ears uncovered, and that’s a true experience indeed.
If you are an avid music lover, you will see all the benefits of this technology. There are three transducers implemented within the device itself that have one mission and that’s to target your occipital and temporal bones.
What else does it do?
The product is linked through a Bluetooth to your smartphone or a computer and has a built-in lithium-ion battery which is rechargeable. It will give you enough power to enjoy up to six hours of listening to music. But, that is not all, this headset have a microphone which can be used for phone calls and even for gaming purposes.
If you wish to become a proud owner of this device you can pre-order it on the web page of its manufacturer (Studio Banana Thing).
The name of the product is basically derived from bats. Why is this so? Well, bats are finely-tuned in sonar reception. Ali Ganjavain and Key Portilla-Kawamura, the founders of this headset found the inspiration in animals such as dolphins, bats and other sonar hearing creatures. They began to explore and develop concepts regarding mimicking that kind of technology, but for the human population.
So how safe is it to sonically blast your brain through your skull, no matter how thick it is? Well, that particular problem has not yet been addressed and answered. Just like with many other technologies, it could take years for all the potential risks to be truly explored and realized.
