3D Audio

Sony offered a glimpse of its first 360-degree audio speakers back at the online-only CES 2021 expo in January, with two units based around the company's 360 Reality Audio tech. Now the SRS-RA5000 and SRS-RA3000 are up for pre-order.

The H3-VR Handy Recorder from Zoom is an all-in-one Ambisonic audio recording solution, so you won't need to buy a dedicated microphone setup, a separate audio recorder and a powerful laptop or computer for making the audio VR ready.​

You don't have to understand binaural audio to instantly get how much better it is than standard iPhone mono. With a set of Hooke Verse Bluetooth headphones, you can now have 3D sound on all your smartphone video. No extra gear, no extra steps, just a huge leap in the sound quality of your memories.

Sennheiser's high-tech headset puts microphones as well as earbuds in both your ears to produce incredibly immersive binaural 3D audio effects that really put a listener in the room with you. It also lets you dial the outside world up and down as you please with noise cancellation.

New Atlas demoed the OSSIC X 3D headphones at CES 2017. Our conclusion? OSSIC's take on 3D sound is perfect for VR. The headphones provide an excellent directional listening experience that is niche at present, but OSSIC hopes it will work its way into VR, music and film.
