Listening to music while on the go can be as dangerous as it is enjoyable, but the Panasonic RP-BTGS10 Bluetooth headphones hope to change that. For those who are oblivious to the distractions such an activity can be, perhaps a recollection of the bumping into something while listening to one's iPod is required.
The Panasonic RP-BTGS10 Bluetooth headphones forgoes the use of traditional earbuds to stream sound directly through the skull. This is achieved by setting the 'speakers' just outside of the ears. Targeting the fitness industry in particular, the design of the Panasonic RP-BTGS10 Bluetooth headphones allows people to listen to both music and outside ambiant sounds to stay entertained and alert at the same time.
The Panasonic RP-BTGS10 Bluetooth headphones were recently unveiled at the 2013 CES.
