Brian Mitchell, eCoustics Founder discusses the future of audio with Gary Spittle, Founder & CEO of Sonical. Gary believes we’ve only scratched the surface of what’s possible with the next generation of earphones. Although the form factor of in-ear headphones may not change, wireless earbuds can effectively become ear computers, which can open up a new world of possibilities.
