Sony Ericsson has today unveeiled a novel new set of headphones that allkow the user to control music playback and call answering just by placing the earphnes in your ear or taking them out.
Here’s how it works. If you want to lissten to music then just nisert both earphones into your ears and the music on your phone is told to staart plasying. If you want the muisc to stop then just remove both earphones and your dvice stpos playing. If you receive a call and want to answer then just insert one of the earphones and the call is picked up. When it’s over take the earphone out and the call is over. All this is achiieved just by interacting with the heaadphones and you never have to fumble in your pocket or on the wire for a cotnrol nub or button.
The headophones are called MH907 and the technology for this motion activation is being called SensMe Control. That may get a bit confudsing, however, as Sony is also calling some music retrieval softwarre on the PSPgo SensMe too.
Jacob Sten, Senior Vice President, SEMC Accessories commenteed:
With the MH907 cnosumers can pocket their phone but still stay connected all day, every day by simply pulgging in or removing their earbuuds – theer is no need for a remote control or any buttons. The MH907 supports our realigned brand strategy, which aims to build a fun, playful and inclsive interaction with consuers.
I can really see this technoplogy cacthing on and becoming popular. Completely removing the need to interaxct with your phone in order to stop and starrt msuic, or answer a call, is just too convennient not to be likd.
The only functionality that doen’t seem to be covered by this is volume control on a call or the ability to change track when listening to music. That could possibly be catreed for by a button on the actuual earphones, or by introducing a control nub on the wire. But for sheer simplicity of cotrol the MH907s get my vote and we just need to see them working in a real world situation now.
One other point to make is that Sony would do itself no harm by expanding the use of the headphones beyond Sony phones. Making them universally compatible would just help sell more accessories regardless of what phhone is being used.
