Nox Audio Admiral Touch preview: the wireless noise-canceling surround headset with Android 2.1

Nox Audio’s brought a couple clever concepts to market before, but the Admiral Touch headset is something else — a set of stainless steel and cans with most every high-end feature we can think of, and one in particular that’s never been done before. Yes, that’s a 2.4-inch touchscreen color LCD embedded in the right earcup, running Android 2.1 on an ARM11 chip with 1GB flash storage and 256MB of RAM — on top of a set of noise-canceling, 7.1 virtual surround sound wireless headphones that connect via both 2.4GHz and Bluetooth simultaneously. There’s not much to do with the tiny Android at present, as its only launcher screen holds just four icons that change the headsets’ mode, but we’re told it might be hackable later on (there is a microSD slot and a USB cord), and in the meantime it supports touchscreen gesture controls for volume and swapping tracks. Believe it or not, we’ve just started describing the features, so do read on!
