AirPods 3 Have a New Trick Up Their Sleeve …

[@alistairblaire6001]

It's fascinating that spatial audio has evolved into this. It has been around since at least the early 90's with QSound, which was used in some video games and a handful of CD albums. Now the processing is done by a tiny microchip embedded in a wireless earbud using any audio input the user wants.

[@Nonexistent_Music]

Fr so much stuff happened within the last 100 it’s insane

[@平和-v1z]

A Teardown of Fairphone's new TWS would be interesting. I'm pretty disappointed in them because it seems very likely that they removed the headphone jack on their new phone to boost sales for their new headphones. Great video btw! ^^

remove the headphone jack for boost sales for a another product especially for a society who want to be ecologic is BS

To be honest, H1 can't do this kind of computational audio. What Apple does is actually trying to render spatially-mastered tracks on the player device using the surround sound algorithm that allows them to simulate how the sounds propagate and change spatially. AirPods simply use the gyroscopes to measure how your head moves and the player device changes the spatial render parameters to produce spatially transformed sounds and play through the buds.

[@cedricpomerleau5586]

Still an impressive task for a small chip inside an earbud.

[@ScaredPilot]

@@cedricpomerleau5586 it’s just like joycon

[@hatespeech96]

then what about "spatialise stereo" feature that makes spatial audio for normal stereo tracks?

[@ScaredPilot]

@@hatespeech96 Same, just there is an algorithm to split the original track into spatial components, then place them according to basically guessing. Then you have something playable as spatial audio. It's only as good as the guessing though.

[@srjo13]

What about the cases? My biggest gripe with the Beats is the case size and lack of wireless charging. I’d like to know if they could have shrunken it down or included a wireless charge coil.

[@purpledoge4466]

[@00SNIVY00]

That's a very good way to explain the spatial audio trickery. I think the question I have is...how do they position something in front or behind you. How do two drivers make sound come from the front right versus the back right? Or is that just left up to you to decide, like the spinning dancer optical illusion?

[@jack5mikemotown]

I'm pretty sure it tries to mimic the shape of your ear. Because of how your ear is shaped, audio coming from behind has a distinct difference from audio in front of you. Changing the eq/sound profile of the audio can mimic this

[@JonathanBondu]

when are you going to teardown the fairphone earbuds ? (and the Fairphone 4 by th way) ? that may spark an interesting discussion.

Way to go, zero yet again! These earbuds are just a waste of resources - they're overpriced, will fill up with ear wax, have small batteries that need charging frequently (thus putting cycles on them quicker), and when the batteries do go kaput, you have basically e-waste. (Unless you have the skills and expertise to think up a second use for them, once disassembled enough.) Conclusion: stick to traditional over ear headphones or wired earphones - the wired in ear headphones don't have batteries and are not e-waste in the same sense. They're also significantly cheaper - even if you do have to factor in an adapter from 3.5mm to something else.

[@ronlevin2339]
