Top-tier headphones no longer solely prioritize exceptional audio quality, immersive soundstages, active noise cancellation, and comfortable designs that make you forget they’re on your head. Instead, they’re embracing cutting-edge neural technologies.
At CES 2024, headphones capable of mind-reading made their debut. The Naqi Neural Earbuds, positioned as a safe, non-invasive alternative to brain implants, promise full control over Windows or Mac computers through gyroscopic, muscle, and brainwave sensors.
Another standout is the MyWaves Technologies Pebble, featuring a puck that adheres to your forehead to scan brainwaves while you sleep. It curates a personalized music playlist to aid in achieving restful sleep. While some products are more impressive than others, anticipate more neural technology integration in headphones throughout 2024 and beyond.
