Sony Mobile Evangelist

You all must be familiar with the sense-me feature on Sony Ericsson devices right? With SensMe you can create playlists in two ways, by mood or from all the tracks in your phone. Information such as mood, tempo and chords is then added. The tracks are displayed as dots on a map with two axes. In the All view, all the tracks in your phone are placed randomly on the map.

But have you heard of Sense-Me Headphones? Probably not.

Hence, I decided to do a writeup on one of the latest products which was launched from the stable of the Japanese-Swedish manufacturer. It had been a long time since Sony Ericsson had announced something groundbreaking.All that changed recently when it unveiled the world’s first motion controlled headphones ,the MH907.

See that? That's the device that will 'forever change the way you to listen to music'. At least that's what Sony Ericsson promises. The buttonless MH907 buds are the world's first "Motion Activated" headphones with Sony Ericsson's "SensMe Control" tech.


Its working is pretty simple.When you put both headphones in your ears, thanks to the SenseMe technology, your music starts playing. If you remove the headphones the music stops.If you just put an earphone in one ear it activates the call mode to allow you to take a call. Even better there’s no chance of calls being answered accidentally because the headphones respond to body contact so if you have both in all you will hear is your music. Awesome right? I surely think so.

The buds are activated by body contact and mimick the way we control sound now. What's cool is that you can't turn on the headphones accidently.

    "Requires conductive surface to activate the controls - i.e. your ears, hence it won't turn things on in your pocket by just squeezing the ear buds"

SE has further clarified that the technology is capacitive in nature. In other words, removing an ear bud isn't breaking the flow of current between buds, it's destroying the dynamic capacitor formed by the touch of human skin.
