a microphone that uses Bluetooth to access your devices. Also, you can answer
phone calls with the device. At present it’s unclear whether one can swap the
tech into a different Speakerhat, but then the components look integrated from
the pictures thus far.

Below is a statement from AtariConnect COO Michael Arzt:
“With the recent
reveal of our Atari project and now with Speakerhats, we envision a full range
of connected personal devices that live at society’s intersection of
entertainment, technology and social connectivity that legendary films lime
blade Runner 2049 fortell.”
The official site for the product touts the hat as feeling
“natural and normal to wear for long periods of time, and attains a balance of
weight vs sound quality and functionality.” Though the speakers look fairly
discrete, the intent is to unceasingly improve on design and engineering till
the technology is totally invisible. Consequently, the hat is designed to be
ultrathin and lightweight.
