    There are two groups of people worried about being listened to in public. Conspiracy theorists wouldn’t trust the tech behind this, nor probably even cell phones. Executives likely to use such a device aren’t using public transit.

    Everyone else would be voluntarily using such a device to make things quieter for others, and the last time we tried to get people to wear a mask to benefit others was a huge failure and the consequences were far greater.

    No one is going to buy this.

      Yes they are. Probably not in the country that calls it transit, mind. And lots of people would like to be able to have more private conversations in public, whether or not they’re travelling at the time.

      Plus, I’ve seen a lot of threads over the years from gamers, or the people who have to live with them, looking for something exactly like this.
