Human Things, a company that has developed a number of gaming devices for the Nintendo Switch, has a new device!
GENKI Waveform ", a wireless earphone that can simultaneously play the sounds of games on the Switch and voice chat on a smartphone, is now available on Kickstarter, a global crowdfunding project.
DualStream" function to mix sounds!
Currently, in order to enjoy voice chat on the Switch, you have to play the game sound through the speakers and use a separate smartphone app for voice chat. Even if you want to enjoy the game sounds, you may have to minimize the sound to avoid the other person on the other end of the line...
With GENKI Waveform, however, the " DualStream " feature mixes the sound of two connected devices, so you can hear the game sounds on your Switch and the voice chat on your smartphone at the same time, stress-free!
Of course, the "DualStream" feature is also ideal for "work while listening to music and talking on the phone" on devices other than the Switch.
Until now, there has been a "multipoint" function that allows Bluetooth earphones to be connected to multiple devices at the same time, but it was not possible to listen to the sound of two devices at the same time.
This completely new type of fully wireless earphones will open up a variety of new ways to enjoy your music!
Human Thing is currently seeking supporters through crowdfunding!
