- Speakers and Subwoofers: The iHeart has been specially designed to vibrate at any musically attainable frequency without causing damage to a person's other organic organs or disrupting blood flow. In fact, some studies suggest it helps promote stronger bone growth, perfect for the child to young adult demographic.
- Interference Reinforcement: To keep the party going, the iHeart has been reinforced with various metallic fibers and reinforced structure wrapped in sterile plating, to ensure a minimum of interruptions from nearby electromagnetic, ionic, or sonic disturbances from throwing off the beat. Even high-power kinetic weapons have a hard time disabling the iHeart on a direct hit. Naturally, this iBorg product doubles as a protective linchpin for the cardiovascular system, it's not just a replacement: it's an improvement.
- Physiological Boost: Given it often takes longer to acclimate to internal implants, the iHeart Pro has been given some minor cybernetic quality of life adjustments to prevent overstrain or phantom pains. It borrows technological principles first innovated in the iBorg Second Wind Node to artificially motivate surrounding musculature to strengthen and heal itself more quickly through the bloodstream than it would otherwise. It also functions as a second liver, filters out most toxins encountered in the bloodstream, and releases them at safer rates for the body to process. Additionally, when paired with the Second Wind Node, it extends its effect duration twice as long and reduces the rest period in half.
- Lifetime Warranty: The heart is often given central importance in innumerable cultures, and given its critical life-giving function in a majority of them, iBorg has ensured with the release of this product that no organic heart will be destroyed during replacement and will be placed into an iBorg Insurance Capsule for safekeeping as standard policy. Just in case a customer changes their mind, or repairs are warranted to fix a defective iHeart. For those select customers who are feeling particularly generous, there is the option to donate their organic hearts to an iBorg storage facility for the purpose of donating hearts to those in need, a special discount is provided.
- Wait for the Bass Drop!: The iHeart Pro is ultimately an entertainment system and has been guaranteed to link up with any communication signal from across the galaxy to blast your tunes for the entire length of your *lifetime. It even possesses multiple protective measures and cybernetic enhancements to not only improve overall fitness and stamina but also prevent the party from ever stopping from something silly like kinetically induced heart failure!
- iBorg Ecosystem: The iHeart Pro works especially well paired with other iBorg products that enhance physiological characteristics, like the iBorg Second Wind Node perhaps! Twice the benefit, half the rest!
- Partying Doesn't have to be Unhealthy!: From improved musculature, cardiovascular performance, promoting strong bone growth, and toxin filtering, your beats will continue on at **any intoxication level!
- Designed for Near-Humans: *lifetime guarantee does not factor in exceptionally long-lived species or the peculiar of non-human users. Health benefits may vary. Consult an iBorg technician before installing.
- Limited Filtration: **specific intoxicants of specific strengths may be too much for even two functional livers, and excessive self-inflicted poisoning may wear out the device's ability to properly regulate bloodstream toxins. Not rated for non-reactional toxins, please drink/injected/ingest responsibly.
- Why do I hear boss music?: Users may find that some crowds may find the ability to vibrate music out of your chest to be unnerving, distracting, or both. Possibly even disturbing.
Lance of Dreams has only rarely dabbled in entertainment cybernetics, such as releasing the proclaimed first cyber narcotic, but has once again breached the territory while trying to hit younger target demographics in the cybernetic underculture of Denon. While Denon was a large influence on his latest project, he still ensured the implant would be marketable across the galaxy by appealing to its plethora of positive health benefits on top of its entertainment capabilities.
There is also scrapped footage of an ad concept where Lance of Dreams demonstrated its "coolness" and that its designer "had a heart", by hosting a rave with his own organic heart on display in an Insurance Capsule. Focus groups seemed to indicate this had the opposite intended effect and opted for a more traditional marketing campaign without that "soulless gyrating thing."
Now things presumably with perceived souls enjoy the thrill of walking around with their own theme music thumping in their chest!
