Boss Waza-Air
Headphones? Don’t be silly - this is quite clearly a guitar amplifier. Oh, and also a sort of sonic VR headset. Working in tandem with a wireless dongle that plugs into your guitar, and the Boss Tone Studio mobile app for editing virtual amps and FX, the Waza-Air ’phones use gyro sensors and 3D ambience to make your ears think they’re listening to a real amp in the room. There’s even a ‘virtual angry neighbour’ option for realistic wall-banging effects. (No, there isn’t really.)
