"So I don't have high hopes for this product.   The wireless tech already exists to send audio signals, yes, but don't you think there might be a reason that every major headphone company hasn't done this already?  Koss, JBL, Bose, Sony, etc?  They all have millions of dollars to play in this industry and develop new products, yet not ONE of them has made something like this?There is a reason.  I was working with one of these companies to develop an identical product, and the huge hurdle that I'm sure the kickstarter founders arent' even aware of is the microsecond delay between one headphone and the other.   Yes, we are splitting hairs, but when one ear hears the same frequency a portion of a second before the other ear, you wind up making people nauseous and things sound 'odd', as the wavelengths do not line up.   So the real problem is SYNCing them perfectly.  Good luck, whoever is trying to make these, but there is a huge technological challenge that has prevented all the big players from doing exactly this."
