I'm about to introduce you to a strange environment that you might not know about the world of 3b sound now this is something that I've been interested in for a very long time searching up binaural audio and these different sound scapes and experiences that you could have in your headphones if you've ever experienced some of these videos it is incredible how much detail you can get just using your ears I know exactly where this is right now or what this is right now or I feel like I'm there you see most audio recordings that you hear are single channel audio like this microphone right here but you have two ears one and two we hear things in two channels not just one you know you get the little in fact I want you to put on headphones for this video put them on right now from this point forward because some interesting things are gonna happen this is the product it's brand new it's called the ambient from Sennheiser you know Sennheiser obviously been in the game forever now I've got a bunch of them actually look at this very exciting I'm gonna put some details on Twitter I'm gonna give these away to you guys so go follow me there and look out for the tweet a microphone on each earpiece for 3d recording audio converters powered by Apogee I have their products sitting on my desk 3d recordings reproducible on any other headphones so you use these headphones to get the recording and then everyone else gets to experience those soundscapes on regular headphones transparent hearing is a feature that lets you hear what is going on around you to amplify your sound while you're wearing these so they still work as a high quality set of headphones and it's also got a remote control in it there's a picture of the remote control so you can record at any moment and they just look like regular earbud that is the setup I feel like you guys need this type of visual so you can understand but that's what it looks like a nice little carrying bag here what is this this is a very soft I can tell her Eddy silky that's how you know it's a legit equipment they're very soft so this is what they look like this is the microphone on the outside your speaker unit your earphone on the inside the magic happens in here this is your converter apparently this indicator here will identify when the surround microphone is on it'll work in the native video recording app on your device and everything happens over this single lightning connection some extra ear tips depending on the size of your ear canal this guy on the bottom here is for transparent hearing you can have the microphones on the outside set to minimum so you hear no noise no surrounding noise you can have a kind of mix in the center here so you can hear your surroundings a little bit or you can have a maximum effect where your surroundings are amplified and you can kind of have this hyper awareness like a superhero of course I went into video mode on the camera the red light came on to identify that we are in surround sound 3d audio recording territory talk now yeah okay so you know how your own voice is amplified when your ears are plugged all right then I plug it in top that is so weird that man that's wild I hear you a little bit better than when I had them completely out you're able to be more aware of your surrounding that's kind of the effect I'm having here I'm gonna go back into the camera app and begin a recording I need you to put your headphones on right now to truly experience this properly it's almost like a physical experience almost like a visual perception but only using sound that you can place it even with your eyes closed in a way we almost don't appreciate our hearing enough all of a sudden it's like there's so much more nuance to it that brings me to the next part obviously this was a simulation of those sound effects here in the studio these are really meant to be used in environments so in this next part of the video you're gonna go to a few different environments and you're not going to know what those environments are not at first I want you to use just your ears in order to determine where you are roll the environments was it generally known that you are a piano player and they do know how to write songs not until I joined the band don't you think - of being in a band it's way more secure for a performer employed yourself it's not you just out there on the alleged sub that mean why did you leave the band why to keep so how about that experience huh what your ears are capable of finally the audio can match the immersion of the video quality that our devices are capable of shooting if you made it through this video without headphones on you did not experience the true capabilities here go back rewatch with your earbuds in and you'll see exactly what i'm talking about this is the kind of product that gets me excited this is actual binaural 3d sound recording that you could put in your bag in your pocket connect to your phone and you're ready to go so don't forget I got three more of these I can't wait to send them out to some lucky people you guys can use and show me how you're using them upload your clips do some crazy 3d audio stuff I'm sure we just scratched the surface but this it's a whole new world
