At work, I have a cheap pair of Koss headphones that I got for like $7. If I need to hear what's going on around me, I just turn my music volume down pretty low and if someone says something like, "Hey Peaches, can you come here and look at this?" from a few cubes away, I have no problems hearing them. I don't really see the need for open headphones like this that have to be recharged periodically and cost like 40x more money.
At work I wear my Bose QC35, they cost $300, they have best in class noise cancelling. If someone wants to say something to me, they can send it on Slack.
This'll be aimed a buyers of the XZ2 which has followed Apple into the no-headphone-socket territory. Stupid idea Sony, I like to use good headphones (hint, you don't make any good enough), and shall not be buying an XZ2 nor these ugly looking boat anchors.
"hint, you don't make any good enough" Broadcast and mastering industry: "Sorry, what was that? I couldn't hear you over my de-facto standard MDR-7506”
Is it programmable? Or does it send events that a smartphone program can respond to? I hear it recognizes head gestures, to accept or decline calls. I wonder how well it could recognize someone nodding off at their desk (or at the wheel) to trigger an alert notification and queue some wake-up music. (Or some nap music if you're at home and you need the sleep.)
Looks like a nice product. we are also launching a similar product. The product is on the pre-launching stage. Do you support crowdfunding projects on Indiegogo? There is a link below https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/juxxe-jamsports...

For a battery that size, 4 hours seems extremely poor. Maybe the 'open' design requires a much higher volume than an IEM.anactoraaron - Wednesday, February 28, 2018 - link
These look like they will be constantly falling out and onto the ground. High priced and probably not that durable. Who are these aimed it again?jabber - Wednesday, February 28, 2018 - link

Ugly job, Sony. I love my BeatsX I got on sale for $99. Decent sound quality and battery life. And less chance of losing the damn things.Gc - Wednesday, February 28, 2018 - link
