The Australian company, BG Audio, has launched its 'Augmented Audio' system on Kickstarter. Augmented Audio will provide users with the opportunity to listen to music alongside friends, as the system works by combing a pair of headphones with an app to promote social listening.
The app will provide users with the capabilities to send audio feeds to others, or alternatively, users can accept an audio feed from another. The app is able to send audio using cloud servers, and it will be available in November. The headphones feature noise cancellation and 57mm drivers. The pair will also have a battery life of up to 30 hours for a single charge.
BG Audio is marketing its headphones and app to social music listeners looking for a shared audio experience. The company spoke about its Augmented Audio system and stated, "It's time to get connected again and bring our audio experiences together."
