John, what are you talking about 2000 pounds? The Sunu Band isn't that
expensive.
Are you whinging about smart glasses again?

you would deffinatly fall down a hole then.
seriously though it sounds a very interesting device because when in noisey
conditions you still get the feedback it might take a bit to learn how to
use it though but anything like this at #300 must be a good thing. also,
it's only in it's beginning and again who knows what the future is.
personally and this is only for me speaking 2 thousand pounds is a lot to
pay for something to help you read sign or whatever
