Number Forty-Six

Talk2Me.  Presents from the future.  Wireless.

You know what you like to hear but what do you like to feel?  King Crimson, Biggie Smalls? What about Flight of the Bumblebee or Slayer?  Talk2Me works with not just music but any audio. You can enhance that erotic film, or podcast.  Bring that long distance relationship closer by using it with your phone or video conferencing. Use it with a partner; Talk2Me contains a microphone to turn vocalizations into vibrations. Use it in Karaoke Mode or just whisper sweet nothings. 

With Talk2Me even clean talk is dirty.

Sincerely.
