The Nox Admiral Is A Mean Android-Based Headphone Set
First, the cool part: The outside of the right side actually sports a little Google Android device. About the size of the average Android phone, the touchscreen will allow the user to increase or decrease the volume, and to switch songs with a swipe. Nox expects many already-existing Google apps to be compatible, which means radio programming like Pandora can be piped directly into the headphones.
It packs a rechargable lithium battery with an estimated 6 hour life, which enables the Admiral, unlike many other headphones, to truly be wireless. It communicates with devices using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, and has a small, retractable mic for online conversations.
The Admiral sounds good, too. During CES, it did a Dolby 7.1 test with flying colors, successfully projecting the sound through many points within the audio "room". In a fun perk, the Admiral's 360 earpieces can be flipped and laid flat on a surface to be used as an in-room speaker system for others to enjoy.
The Nox Admiral will be out in late 2011.
