Coby 3D Soundbar
When a handful of Coby representatives at CES seemed clueless about their 3D Soundbar, I had almost written the product off, but then I found the booth of Sonic Emotion, which created the technology behind the speakers, and they floored me with the intro to Pink Floyd's "Money."
Sonic Emotion, based in Switzerland, says it uses wave field synthesis to create the illusion of 3D sound with just stereo input. In another cool demonstration, the team turned the speakers around to face the wall and the sound quality barely changed.
Sonic Emotion licenses the technology to several speaker companies, but Coby will be the first to bring it stateside. The Soundbar will cost $100 and should be available in March or April. I'd love to test this out further to see how it performs in awkward-shaped rooms and compares to other speakers.
