For the sake of aesthetics, I'm pretty glad that they chose the shared receiver design. This way, there won't be one driver that's weaker than the other due to a less battery charge remaining. And since the Kleer receiver is located behind the head, at least from the front and certain angles, the drivers still look pretty slim-profile, instead of looking like you're wearing two mono-bluetooth headsets.
All I'm saying is that if we are going to eliminate the cable then lets make one huge leap and not baby steps that just seem to be more of a pain than anything. The size of the Kleer chip seems small enoughtthat it can fit into each drive and like Chuwy said, it could be placed behind the ear. And if theres ever a case where one reciever is weaker than the other reciever, then the technology is not ready yet to make the wireless leap.

I'd say lets stick to what works well as far as sound quality (cords) and lets go back to the lab and keep working on it untill we get it right. Just because there is progress, it doesn't mean that its ready.

People are going to be paying top dollar for this technology and they should recieve top dollar quality in return and not some half-a** design that was rushed out by the marketing department just to make a quick profit.
