Panasonic Wearable Gaming Speaker Developed with FF XIV is on Presale@amazon now

[Avih]

Panasonic Collaboration with Soken(Sound Producer) Part II!
Pre-sale started today @amazon! Ordered mine. Can't wait to try it out.

Thought it best to post this on the forum so that true WoL have the advantage.
I wasn't sure if this kinda post is even allowed here, but I didn't want those scalpers to snag em first(like the soundslayer soundbar).

I hate that this isn't nearly the weirdest tech product I've ever seen.

It seems to be catgirl compatible.

I had no idea that neck speakers were a thing, but there seems to be a lot of different versions on Amazon. It looks like they are mainly for seniors and those with issues hearing the TV well.

I would be curious to read reviews on this thing when it comes out to see how well it works for gaming. It certainly would be nice not to wear headphones which can get heavy and hot after a few hours, and still get decent sound.

Can't do it, already sold my kidneys for HD800s 2 months ago

Woah, nice : O

I have 560s and they've been my favorite headphones so far. 200$ is the most I could justify spending on a headphone, knowing that it is electronics and this stuff tends to break at some point.
But I'm curious if you have tried 560s and how much of a difference in sound quality there is.

You are using a dac/amp, right? It's 300ohm o.o

I am using Topping DX7pro dac/amp.
Listening eScape with these, eyes closed brings smile to my face. Very natural sound with hint of metallic and industrial? Sound

I had GSP 350 and GSP 500 for years along with GSX1000.
I love them but and it's a big but. Price doesn't go alongside with the performance, not even close.

Edit: I tried 660s and they sounded like GSP 500.
Movie wise Lord of the Rings sounds really nice and Titanic, felt like I was inside the breaking ship.


Still, every day at work when I'm using headphones with hearing protection I miss those HD800s .
