A new patent approved for Apple shows us what a new technology would be for itSignature over-ear headphones with position and gesture sensing. This patent explains that the position of the headphones would allow the sound to be adjusted directly on the user's ear, in addition, the audio outputs could be adjusted to avoid having to use the headphones in a single way. In addition, the patent also talks about gesture control with a touch surface that would logically adapt to the position of the helmets.
Using a headset, using the headphones in the reverse position or even varying the angle of placement will not influence the touch panel of the headphones, also the sound will adapt to the position of these offering a really good experience. There is no concrete data on the implementation of this patent on any of the current devices of the firm, but it is not ruled out that it may be implemented in the near future in a headset that is among the latest rumors about new Apple products.
It could even be that rumored AirPods Studio add this proprietary technology by the Cupertino company and there are many rumors about the possible launch of a headset from Apple in the coming months. Obviously at Apple they have the Beats brand in their house, but seeing that they have even eliminated them from the "back to school" promotion, we would not be surprised if these new headphones were presented shortly.
