Ok. Hate to break it to you but not everyone is the same Captain Strong Ears.

Then you either have weak ass ears or I'll fitting headphones.
I've worm glasses my whole life and wear headphones all the time. I've never had to stop due to discomfort.

If they used a binaural audio dummy setup and compared against a ground truth surround sound system it's possible this is machine learning technique to configure the setup. Sound propagation especially with specific speaker configurations (and ear positions) is hard to model. (Could use a non-machine learning approach to match the sound in the ground truth and construct a table of speaker configurations).

It's a hassle to carry around? You're already happy dealing with 3ft of wire for the headphones, why does a 2in dongle make you angry?

Sounds cool, but might be awhile before I replace my benq (projecting 130” in 4K)

What a load of marketing bullshit lol a speaker inside a sound bar moving left or right an inch is not going to make a significant difference in quality of life for listening. Plus it’s Razer so expect an always on bloatware app on your computer collecting information and using 10% of your cpu and gpu.

I promise you you can get headphones that don't cause any issues with glasses

Lots of reasons, some don't want bluetooth on the head for various reasons. Others like me) listen to a ton of music and don't want to be recharging and waiting to connect all the time.
Wired headphones are just dead simple and work well. Also many audiophile grade headphones that require a wired connection

Without the discomfort of wearing headphones for a while, especially if you wear glasses 🤷🏼♂️

Wouldn’t say completely unnecessary. Sounds like it has the benefit of not bothering others, especially at night, without the discomfort of wearing headphones for a while, especially if you wear glasses.

Exactly. The robot will always be at work everyday, never fails a drug test, and doesn't complain about working long hours. I'm sure they're also working hard on increasing its precision and speed over time too.

Is it really just like robots that replace workers on factories floors 65-80 thousand a year versus 2.5 million per robot the difference is one won’t complain

That sounds like headphones with extra steps

This is a surprisingly good idea, at least on paper. Replacing your lamp fixture with this means that you can wire up the lamp power into the projector and have one less wire to deal with.
That being said it also means that it might not work in the rooms you might want it in without needing to do some renovations.
