Hey put your headphones on we're going
to experience 3d audio this is
sennheiser MBO smart headset and in your
headset that can record binaural audio
using its Omni directional pattern
microphone on your I devices coming to
Android soon
[Music]
I don't
using this is highly complicated plug
this in put the headphones on and start
recording audio or video like you
normally do and now instead of mono yes
your thousand dollar iPhone record audio
in mono now starts recording binaural
audio so what does all that mean
what is binaural is it stereo no what is
spatial is it something your mom told
you when you were a little kid
no what is omnidirectional well I'm glad
you have binaural audio can be mistaken
with stereo because binaural has two
channels sarah has two channels of
binaural a stereo but not all stereo
recordings are necessarily binaural for
example if you listen to Lenny Kravitz
always on the run on one channel you're
going to hear this and on the other
channel you're going to hear this that
is stereo but that is not binaural
binaural is what your ears hear so when
you have microphones right where your
ears are what you record is what at
person hears so when someone watches
that video they get the same sensation
it gives the feeling to the person who's
listening as if they are there and since
the microphone on these headphones are
omnidirectional which means it picks
sounds from every angle it gives the
listener very spacious and realistic
feel to show you the difference I went
to the getty villa and recorded the same
video with two phones iPhone 7 plus has
Sennheiser's and your headset connected
to it I also use moments wide-angle and
so it amplifies the spacious feel amber
gives the other one iPhone 6s plus is
naked now I'm going to switch between
the audios while keeping the video from
my
seven plus on the screen so you can hear
the difference clearly as you can hear
if you're wearing your headphones
there's that three year old running
again because the audio is binaural I
can easily tell that she was behind me
on my right side and now she passed me
and she's running further away from me
now let's watch the same part with audio
from iPhone 6s plus suddenly it feels
like your ears are clogged and all that
spacious 3d feels gone this is actually
how any video shut on iPhones or devices
with mono audio recording sounds like
monitor now let's switch back and
forward and hear the difference even
more binaural mono
binaural mono
binaural monotone all right now let's
see how it performs when I'm talking
with see how it's picking up my sound
now what you're hearing the Sennheiser
MB now what you're hearing is iPhone 6s
plus
I'm added in a very quiet place right
now so I'm talking really safely I know
Lord you add so much to the video you
can hear the Gardiners on my right you
can hear the water on my left and you
can hear this vacuum in the boy did we
pick the Shh
they to come here or what okay I'm sorry
I'm sorry
anyway Sennheiser MBO allows you to
record binaural audio which gives the
listeners spacious 3d audio experience
by the way spacious and spacial are
different things
spatial microphones record for channels
this only records to channel spatial
audio can be used with VR glasses and
when you're looking around in your VR
headset whatever direction you turn you
will start hearing sound from that
direction these headphones don't record
spatial audio they record binaural audio
I tried these headphones during CES 2017
and I was very impressed by first of all
just like Lipnick that I love this is
another marriage between Apogee and
Sennheiser's the two brands that make
extremely high quality products Apogee
soft limit and mic preamp makes these
headphones exceptional the presentation
was extremely impressive that when they
asked me about my experience I didn't
even realize my hair was bananas see the
problem for me with in-ear headphones is
I hate them and I hate everything about
them first of all they never fully fit
me and when I forced it in there that's
of course what she said I hear my steps
I hear my heart feet I feel like my ears
are closed when the music isn't playing
secondly it blocks the ambient sound so
much that if someone is talking to you
when you stop the music you still have
to take your headphones off but see
these guys that Sennheiser our audio
files they know what they're doing this
coat hanger style headphones rests on my
ear so I don't have to push these all in
and for some reason I don't hear my
heartbeat or steps at all am i dead no
I'm still here and since it has two
microphones on two ears guess what else
these headphones can do
Sennheiser calls this transparent
hearing by using this switch down here I
can turn on the mic and start hearing
the environment and this is the best
thing ever because
now I can listen to my music and still
be part of the world around me
besides the microphones here it also has
a microphone down here and when you
receive a phone call you can use this
microphone we can switch between
microphones using this you can turn the
volume up you can turn the volume down
you can start stop and you can turn on
the ending sound around you or turn it
down it gives you three levels with this
let's go back to binaural audio
recording if you're a blogger or a SM
orator this may bring such fresh take to
your channel look this may come as a
surprise to you but this is your head
and these are your ears now I'm going to
plug these into your tears and I'm going
to place this on top of my camera now
I'm going to walk around you actually
let's do this here's a lifestyle now I'm
going to come close to you yes like that
hi
[Music]
of course with this headset there are
some things to look out for first of all
you have to point the camera wherever
your head is looking for proper audio
recording secondly it's a little bit
heavy especially because of this part
which also means this is not your
typical gin headphones and audio coming
up from the headphones is not saturated
so don't expect too much bass or too
much from this headphone well thank you
