The world’s first smart headphones with an unrivalled cinematic sound experience will take any gamer to new acoustic and theatrical hights. Open up your ears and listen:
For each announcement a new major event, this time Berlin is the place to be, to hear about and experience 3D Sound Labs’ head turning innovation: 3D Sound Labs has crafted an unparalleled, realistic sound experience, including, for the first time ever, real-time head tracking - now adapted to the world of video games - which will astonish players by the realism of the recreation of sound in space. Forget complex 5.1 or 7.1 audio systems, just wear 3D Sound Labs headphones, get immersed in three-dimensional soundscapes and push the limits of your game.
So what is new?
3D Sound Labs have made the drivers of their platform compatible with Microsoft’s latest operating systems : Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. The headphones require Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) or a Bluetooth dongle for the motion sensors in order to capture all head movements. The drivers create a vitual 7.1 sound card which allows the user to benefit from a 3D sound quality using all the apps that generate multichannel audio (video games, films, etc.)
The search for a new sound quality is the ultimate quest that gathers film lovers and music fans alike but it is video game players who are the most expecting it. “We are not dealing with a limited audience, millions of people can’t wait to have a “blown away” experience and be with their favorite heros and live the action with their avatars. Now 3D Sound One offers a new immersive sound experience that gives any gamer goosebumps” adds Dimitri Singer, Co-founder of 3D sound labs.
A Call of Duty for the Gaming Community
Thanks to the 3D Sound Labs research and development team, living with the “Grand Theft Auto” or in the “Call of Duty” atmosphere is possible. Xavier Bonjour, 3D Sound Labs co-founder says : “With the gaming industry, the immersive experience is the HolyGrail! With 3D Sound One, people are not just listening to the soundscapes of the game, they are in the middle of the scene, feeling all sounds of the action”. Loving a sound is a one thing but visualising and localizing it is another. With the app and headphone, you will experience it on your PC, wether it runs with Windows 8.1 or Windows 10.
