Okay, it's a question I was thinking of, but what do you think headphones in the future will be like? It doesn't matter how far into the future, just into the future.

I think that we will get wireless headphones, that are encased in small gel balls, so you stick it in your ear and it plays music, you will also be able to toggle noise cancellation on or off.

well we already have the wireless part down but imo i dont htink their will be head phones in the future becuase the newer Mp3(or maybe 4 or 5 in that time) players will be like some sort of injection they inject into your brain and stuff. Idk hows that gonna work thought

Well, nowadays they do have injections into peoples brains, such as certain cases of deafness where they can send sounds into the brain, so that might be possible, but I don't want to have something added to my head... Maybe brain procedures won't be as big of a deal in the future..

They will be like.. OMFG IT FOLDZ UP!

guys, the future isn't as close as you think. We won't even have a damn auto-tacomaker in the year 2075, or a computer-based chef that is timed to flip burgers and all that crap until like 2100. The furutre you are thinking of is not in our lifetime. Trust me, I will bet you fitty dolla that brain injected mp3 players won't come in our lifetime.

We already have all of this.

I'd like subdermal implants in my ears that run on the thermoelectric effect.

How can you be so sure? Technology is jumping exponentially, and as I have already stated, injection of sound into the brain is already happening. The only reason we haven't automated things like that is because it provides jobs.


I want it then. No one is mass producing it I want it really small too, like 3/4ths smaller than the top of an earbud, so it fits almost invisibly into your ear.

Removable ears that you can load music into.

They will be exactly the same ten minutes from now.

Its been 9 minutes since Rantents post and WE HAVE A BREAKTHROUGH! SONY HAS JUST RELEASED SUBDERMAL IMPLANT HEADPHONES AND--

No they didnt. And fuck. I wish too. However my long hair allows me to listen to music in class. Epic win.

They'll be the same. Seriously, headphones won't be able to do anything more than what they can do now, play music.

They wont have the headphones outside the body, by what i tell by reading this magizine for PC stuff...
They say that the music will be sent through your body, to the hearing section of your brain, in an electric signal, like the electric signals going throughout your body when your typing, walking, running, killing a squirrel, etc;
I dont remember the PC mag name though, but i think it called, PCMag or something like that, where they look into the future of electronics

I for one think it might kind of suck to have headphone implants. Imagine if someone found a way to screw with them and make them play the loudest and most annoying thing they can non-stop. It'd be like... Audioterrorism. It'd be like what they did to bring Noriega out down in Panama!

You reminded me of this:

I think that, along with a nanotechnologic computer it will have a way to put the music in your head, without and sort of injection or anything, just an emission or harmless magnetic waves that put/read your thoughts.
You think "I wanna listen to blah" and the device starts playing it but in your head without anything. And you won't even have to know the name of the song just a part and it will recognize it

So yay for neurophones

Wtf is with the new img resizing/grey box thing... bleh make me mad >:l

Win.
