Neonode concept headphones

This concept is based on “Neonodes Multisensing technology”. On the outside of the earmuff a smooth looking touch and gesture maneuvering "Lightguide" can be seen. This touch field’s use is to control the music in a better way than the traditional cable navigator.

The list of improvements and usability will be long but hear is some of the most usable examples: Tapping for play/pause sweeping finger forward for fast forward. Add another finger for track forward. Rotate around to set the volume.

When the classic navigation on the cable is removed, why not remove the whole cable and integrate Bluetooth. If you really need one, just plug it in.
