i2i Stream Allows Multiple Users to Listen to a Single Audio Source, From iPods, PC’s or Home Entertainment Systems

i2i Stream is a new and stylish device that enables users to wirelessly broadcast high-quality audio to each other from a variety of media sources, such as iPods, MP3, CD or DVD players. The i2i Stream Digital Music Broadcaster allows friends to share the same music while using the headset or ear buds of their choice, thereby enabling music enthusiasts to enjoy their favorite tunes together, without the hassle of cumbersome wires.

I recently spoke with Art Cohen, the President of Aerielle, makers of the i2i Stream. Art told me the company’s goal was “to create a way for friends to listen to music or other digital audio content without the hassle of sharing ear buds or swapping MP3 devices”. Aerielle has deemed it a “one-to-many” device. With its one-to-many capability, you can now easily share tunes from one iPod (or other audio player) with one –or many—of your friends wirelessly. “Whether it’s friends hanging out and listening to a single iPod or the desire to stream music wirelessly to speakers in the home, the i2i Stream is the perfect solution,” Art continued.  read more »
