Surrounder

Last weekend, I went to Audio Expo at Tokyo Big Site with some friends visiting Japan. One thing I found very interesting was Sennheiser's "wearable audio speakers". The "Surrounder" rests on your shoulders and has left and right front and side speakers. Knowing that it would look really stupid, I couldn't resist trying it on... /;-). They sounded OK but I thought it needed more bass. The woofer is so close but you cannot feel the air vibration. Normally the company has great headphones, but this particular product was very different. I wonder if they are over-focusing on the Japanese market: i.e., trying to make a hybrid which is wearable as compensation for lack of space in the homes here? Anyway, check it out at
