Atlantic Technology Set to Ship $500 SKAA Wireless Headphones

Atlantic Technology’s FS-BTWS582 headphones, due to ship to consumers soon, are designed for use with TVs, movies and games, in addition to music. The headphones work with Atlantic’s Gatecraser3 ecosystem; the Gatecrasher3 PowerBar has SKAA AI and Connect Awareness to sense the presence of the FS-BTWS582 headphones. When the headphones power on, Gatecrasher3 automatically mutes its audio and switches audio to the headphones. When the $499 headphones are paired with a transmitter connected to a TV or AV receiver, users can receive low-latency signals, through manual pairing, over SKAA for private listening. Atlantic bills SKAA as a wireless alternative to Bluetooth, saying it doesn't have lip sync or game lag issues that could disrupt the viewing or gaming experience on TV. The headphones also come with Bluetooth for compatibility with smartphones. All SKAA products and transmitters feature SKAA 4:1 Streaming to transmit audio to up to four SKAA speakers, amps or headphones for multiroom or multi-user music, said the company.
