When you listen to headphones, it's not quite the same stereo effect you get from speakers. Each ear only hears one channel, while both ears hear both channels (just at different points and orientation) with speakers.

Want that true, balanced stereo effect when you're on the go? Orbitsound's T3 is a portable stereo speaker that you wear around your neck. It utilizes airSound tech — which creates stereo sound from a single point. The result? A stereo "aura" around your head, and an alternative to headphones.

I don’t have a quarrel with the technology — in fact it makes total sense — but I do have problems with the application. Either you’re annoying the person near you or you’ll have a hard time hearing it because of all the ambient noise. And looks aside, when and where would you wear such a thing? If you have the answer, the T3 is $150 at the Orbitsound site.
