Adding a 3-cm layer on earphones isn't really that feasible... I'll take it as "still years ahead before any commercial product with this tech comes to market"

I’ve noticed more people being perfectly content walking around with chunky headphones in public (the over-the-head earmuff type) so maybe we’re closer to viability than we think.
I think it looks cool
3cm will never fly for in-ear buds but for over the ear cans it wouldn't be ridiculous. The real question is, do the physics of this solution allow for miniaturization or not.
This is cool! I hope it makes it into the mass market.
