Sennheiser USB Binaural Headset, Black

Product Information

So, if you are out to get a great multi-use headset, they will double up as binaural beats headphones. KEY SPECS The obvious place for binaural audio is in virtual reality, a medium that’s becoming more popular as the variety of headsets available from tech companies expands. The Samsung Galaxy Gear, Google Daydream, Oculus Rift, PS VR, and HTC Vive have all introduced a wave of VR content, and are sure to continue to grow.

Binaural beats do not damage headphones. The beat frequency is a sound your brain produces when you hear a different frequency in the left and right ear.

After several years of using the Sennheiser HD 280 Pro headphones, we know it to be a practical tool for casual or critical listening .

A special insert that fits all calibrators with a 1" opening is available from DPA: DWA1011 calibrator inserts for 4060s (which is the microphone type used for 4560 CORE Binaural Headset Microphone. The curve below is recorded in a very reverberant space so the sound field is rather diffuse. The sound source is pink noise reproduced by a loudspeaker. An omnidirectional microphone (DPA 4060) is recording the diffuse sound at one point for one minute. Then the omnidirectional microphone is substituted by a person wearing a DPA 4560 and the sound is recorded (in two channels) for one minute. An FFT analysis (FFT size = 8K) is carried out. Left and right spectra from the binaural headset recording are averaged. The measured spectral data from the omni is then subtracted from the averaged spectral data from the binaural recording. The curve shows, more or less, the effect of the head (frequency-wise) when in a diffuse sound field. This model comes with a built-in noise cancelling microphone. This is a simple, easy to use corded headset for hands-free telephone communications with IP or soft phones. Then connect the interface to an iPhone. In the App Store get the app “DPA MAA-A.” When installed, in the MODE section, choose STEREO. If you are recording outdoors, you may activate the low cut FILTER (pressing one activates both channels when in STEREO mode).

HEADSET ACCESSORIES

How about recording while dancing in the Brazilian carnival parade? Or recording the Gullfoss waterfall in Iceland while feeling the power of the falling water all around you? These types of action-oriented recordings are easy to do with a binaural headset. It allows users to capture realistic audio in virtually any situation and it does so inconspicuously. ANC headphones are your best bet if you don’t want to be tethered to cables while you work or try to fall asleep. Ideal for an office environment the SupraPlus's simple design makes it more reliable that other hi-tech headsets. Using VoIP Wideband technology, this headset offers quality stereo sound, ensuring clean and clear conversations, even in a noisy office. In the play, the audience moves around among the actors. The entire theater space works as the stage and minor “incidents” take place here and there. Nanna chose to use binaural microphones for several of the actors and transmit the signals to the audience by using stereo receivers and headphones. In this way, the audience participates in the most intimate way.

Binaural recordings aren’t a new technology by any stretch of the imagination. They were first demonstrated in France in 1881 through a device called the Théâtrophone, which looked like two old horn-style telephones that you held against each ear - it played concerts or plays recorded through a series of telephone transmitters connected to the stage.

EAR DEFENDERS

This means a sound engineer has a cleaner sound to manage, and so can work faster. In an ideal world, you would have one single sound format that can be decoded into stereo, 5.1 surround and binaural depending on your output - cutting down the time it takes to add a binaural mix from a week to a day. While the technology is under development, its complexities mean we’re not likely to see it anytime soon.

Use your favorite stereo recording software on the iPhone. The MMA-A accommodates up to 24 bit/96 kHz recording. You may prefer to use a USB recording device, like your laptop. The MMA-A also supports this solution. Mobility: if your phone is wired, it can be frustrating if you are unable to move with your device while you are on the phone. Thanks to a wireless headset, you can move as you please. This play was developed by students of the Danish National School of Performing Arts. Nanna-Karina Schleimann created sound design and musical compositions.

The Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro headphones are a musician-approved audio staple , perfect for meditative me-time with or without brainwave entrainment. For some (more scientific) purposes, it is common practice to calibrate the microphones applied in the binaural headset. The easiest procedure is to use an acoustic calibrator that produces a known frequency and SPL, typically 1000 Hz/94 dB SPL. Or use a pistonphone (typically 250 Hz/114 dB SPL).
