This is a cool concept, but the triangle idea is more effort than it's worth IMO. Having to have a way to communicate between the two triangles plus having separate batteries for both, not to mention the weirdness of losing one of them, makes the product needlessly more complex. Having one device with two headphone outputs is much easier to build IMO.

But then you both need to be in the same spot to use it. I like the idea of being able to sit on opposite sides of a room, or go for a run while using the device.
I'm willing to drop the triangle shape. I'm not that attached to it. However, we need to have two different devices that can be one. Don't worry about loosing them. I've figured that out. We are going to put 2 separate beacons in it. Netizens is the creator of the first beacons working in mesh network (take a look http://eonbeacon.com/), which is good for navigation as well. We are going to have an excellent tracking service within a Velo app, better than Tile.
Yes! And I want to ride bikes with friends and share audio!
