The T3 also provides a high quality sound system on a desktop, with
a PC, laptop, TV, music or video player. Great in the office or a hotel room,
the T3 sits flat on a desktop, greatly enhancing a portable media device's sound.
Listening to your music
The problem with personal music systems like the iPod® or the Walkman® is that you have to wear headphones. And the trouble with headphones is that they are not really stereo - just two separated mono signals clamped to your ears.
Listening to stereo means hearing the sound from both speakers with both ears - that's what gives you the stereo soundfield in between the speakers. With headphones you can only hear the left speaker signal in the left ear and the right speaker in the right: most people therefore hear the sound in the middle or back of their head, as opposed to in front and around you where the soundstage is supposed to be. With the orbitsound™ T3, the music is literally in the air, all around your head. This means that the sound from the T3 is a real spatial stereo soundfield. With the T3 you are not isolated from the environmental sounds around you, as you are with headphones; you can listen to your entertainment and still be aware of traffic noise and people around or behind you in the street.
