I wonder if they can connect to a persons body piercings to get better sound quality.
Just think of the potential!

HAHA...TRUE!
I think for once this would be the first product that I would not want to be the first to have in my neighborhood, I'd just let Japan have at 'em like they usually do with technology like this one then wait for the reports of zombie attacks and stuff.
But once they work the kinks out I'll be sure to get one and try it on my dog or something.
Props for the innovation though.

LOL
With a little digital signal processing they should be able to make your heart pound in time to the music, and your retinas flare for a hella disco lightshow too.
I should patent the iPacemaker now while it's on my mind.

It continues to amaze me how much importance the non head-fi public places on gimick-ey headphone designs. Designs that feature noise canceling, wireless, 5.1...etc..., while neglecting sound quality all together.

Those are so last year. Shure Z2K Impulse Reflex bypass the ear entirely and instead link directly to the auditory nerve. You've never heard soundstage like this, my friend, because you literally can't.
A good laugh on the RSA "Stingray." How can it possibly be that Ray hasn't used this name yet? There's a military helicopter called a Stingray, is that not good enough?

...erm no actually its stainless steel... maybe 18/8 considering its a pressed part. Although it is strong aluminum simply isn't robust enough and spring like enough, especially in sheet material thats only about 0.75mm, to withstand constant handling and perform as the iPod case back does as a pressure spring holding backplate and fascia together. Stainless Steel is which is why Apple use it and not aluminum.

retic3nt is right. This original news said :"To convert the small charge into good quality audio, Sony uses a high frequency signal, which is digitally switched to carry data at 48 kilobytes per second. This is enough to deliver good quality, body-rocking stereo, the company says."
If it is send as compressed music (Mp3, WMA, ogg), 384kbps is actually quite good, but than you need a decoder on the other side. The real number will properly be not as high, my guess is around 240kbps~384kbps. By the way, CD is around 1411kbps (16bits, 44.1kHz).
