Quick survey for my project

[AlexK]

Hey guys and gals,
I have to do a design project as part of my Elec eng degree and as a part of this project I have to do some "market research"... So if you could answer the following questions it would be appreciated.

The project: A device which allows two or more people to communicate effectively in a noisy environment. This goes by the ungainly name of the "Party Conversation Aid". So far its features are that it will include active noise cancellation techniques, a wireless link and in future models, the ability to use it as a stereo headset with your cell phone or computer. Note for it to work as a "Party Conversation Aid", both people will need the same device so I am looking to use Bluetooth as the wireless link.

The questions:
1. Which age bracket do you fall under:
a) Under 20 b) Under 30 c) Under 40 d) Under 50 e) Over 50

2. Do you own a device similar to this? If not, have you heard of such a device

3. Are there any features you would like to see added to this product?

4. How much would you pay for a product like this?

5. Would you buy a product like this?

that is all and thanks for getting this far down.

I have that device it is called my big mouth
1 do I have to answer? okay c
2 no? no?
3 besides pr0n... uh no
4 nothing - sorry
5 nope not really

Oh one place I could think of the noise cancellation is when we go to a amusement park and split up we use our cellphones to stay in touch it is impossible to hear each other and might be useful in that situation. I still doubt I would pay for it.

I hope I understood the questions...
