@Lenmoskowitz, thanks so much! With so much content being captured on Mobile these days (and subsequently being consumed on mobile) having a binaural mic that works direct with a smartphone is key.
My goal is to allow consumers to be creative with sound, I’m a sound designer myself here in NYC and am always fighting for sound to be included in the conversation. I’m convinced this is because most everyone besides us doesn’t have any tools at their disposal to understand sound and thusly be creative with it. We have dimmers in our homes and auto stabilization on our phones. My 15 year old cousin could become very creative with a simple mic gain adjustment and binaural recording! I just want the world to care about sound. The CS-10EM is by far lower quality than the Hooke Verse. They’re playback quality doesn’t even come close to ours. And our recording quality is just as good if not better. (hear for yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fw8EzI9ygpI <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fw8EzI9ygpI>) With the Roland CS-10EM, the mic sits outside of the earlobe and doesn’t utilize the earlobe thoroughly when reflecting acoustic pressure waves. With the Rolands, I often feel like I’m listening to a stereo mic rather than a binaural mic because of this mic placement. Hooke is a completely different product from 3DSoundlabs. They are utilizing spatialization software to convert stereo (and often times mono) audio to a proprietary format. Which is great and all, just not what we’re about. Hooke is about localization, utilizing the human ear to capture sound identically to the way we experience it. And we’re wireless. We are currently in talks with software spatialization companies regarding adding an algorithm that would allow Hooke to be used as a head tracking audio playback option for VR scenarios. And this could be added to your Hooke via a OTA software update months after you purchase the headphones :-) We have a few products coming out soon that I think you will all be very excited about! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
