I know it seems a bit niche in America, but I bet their target audience is in Japan, specifically those in the big cities with tiny apartments. I only stayed there a week but man, those spaces can get tiny, so this will probably be good for not annoying the neighbors. Probably a bit more than a niche market there, but not a much in the USofA considering people tend to have larger spaces here
Still the idea is rather interesting, I like listening to music/sound effects fairly lound, especially if I can crank the bass, but the sound does tend to carry so I can't be doing it late at night. If it works as well as claimed then I should be able to enjoy my beats and explosions without getting a noise complaint from the apartment below me.
And as for multichannel, that really sounds kinda gimmicky, with only one unit it seems unlikely to be full 5.1 It feels like anything other than mono could be called "multichannel" like it's stereo or 2.1 therefore its "multichannel".
