Mobile phone manufacturer Sony Ericsson claims its MH907 touch sensitive headphones will ‘change music forever’.
The idea is that they’ll stop the music playing as soon as you remove one or both earbuds from your ear. So to stop listening and start chatting, you’ve only to pull out one earbud, without the need to switch off your player. Replace the earbud and the music will start again automatically.
The concept-led ‘phones are activated by body contact but are initially only intended for Sony Ericsson phones, and use the company’s bespoke two-pin connector, rather than a more standard 3.5mm jack.
The Sony Ericsson MH907 will be available in yellow and white or chrome when it goes on sale later this month, priced €40.
