Nice for those hard of hearing, just hope they aren't going to be dimed and quartered to hell for it.

yeah that is cool, good stuff

I'd just get a subwoofer with a 16 inch driver. It can double as a chair and you could definitely "feel" the sound.

Idk about these light bars, but some games have this built in. I have used it before when RMAing headsets. It’s really useful and when implemented well works great. I’m glad someone is working on a more universal (not game specific solution. Hopefully it doesn’t suck or they are just targeting the “gamer RGB aesthetic” because they could make boat loads if they made an actual aid device.

I already got myself a Philips ambilight tv....

Seems a very good product.
A single bar cost 38 € and the starter kit (everything + 6 light bars) 370 €

Sounds like an amazing product. If true to its marketing I'm really impressed.

Neighbors will love that.

Dunno man, i'd go crazy with those lights flashing my eyes.

Can we make non RGB and LED stuff to save people from seizures?

 

[Cr4zy]

It sounds cool but knowing how hard it is to hear the sounds I'm supposed to hear without being deaf this thing is either going to be magic or flawed.

Have been waiting for a product like this since I have moderate unilateral hearing loss on one ear. Too bad the controller unit only has HDMI In. Doesn't seem like it's possible to integrate with my Genelec speakers connected through a USB audio interface via AES/EBU.

Edit: It seems it's possible to integrate this product into my setup by using Voicemeeter.
