From what I've seen these things are incredible. A real paradigm shift in the sound quality for guitar. What I would like to see going forward Is the ability to record the sound you are hearing from these? If they can take that virtual sound and make it recordable. That will be awesome.

[@BENEVOLENCEMETAL]

Boss actually wasn’t the 1st to do this, well as a practice amp yes but KLANG was actually the company who did this 3D placement technology in its IEM hardware and software. It’s been around for a few years now, allowing you to set up an IEM mix that feels like you aren’t really wearing IEM’s but just on stage without monitors, yet the volume of everything including vocals is adjustable and you hear everything clear and like it’s coming at you from the same points it’s positioned on stage, and if you turn.....it adjusts with you.

[@kruse8888]

This is an absolute game changer. I tried them for a minute(literally) and bought them on the spot. I’m still fiddling around with them but haven’t found one thing I didn’t like about them.

[@Forest_Fifer]

If you want to sort of hear it, Andertons did a demo of it, where they put the headphones on a fake head with 2 mics. You can play along to a backing track using bluetooth, and it puts the band behind you, so you can hear yourself separated from the backing.

[@Frankincensedjb123]

Did you end up picking one up? Curious what the non-payed promotion review is. I want to get back into guitar but living in an apartment is basically a non-starter for me.

[@netrioter]

we had this in the early 80's... The Rockman. Invented by Tom Scholz from Boston...plus you could use it on a real amp. Sounds better than the Waza. It gave Boston their sound. Look up Rockman. Its no joke

[@vlada]

👍. For those that don't know Scholz, he graduated MIT and worked as engineer at Polaroid BEFORE he became a rock star.

[@Sigourneyweaversboobs]

[@michaeltaylors2456]

IThey are better than most headphone amps , the stereo effect , fixed delay, chorus, very cool in the Mid eighties , I broke it out again in 2009 almost giggled . No matter what , you sound like Boston. Better than nothing I suppose , much cheaper than WAZA tho I gave it away

[@netrioter]

@@michaeltaylors2456 They are still in production as the Rockman Guitar Ace..$60-70 bucks on Amazon. The Guitar Ace has a better clean channel vs. the original. but you still sound like you just listened to Boston - Third Stage (the debut of the Rockman in the sound) and you wanna throw a wig on and go for it.

Waza as I understand it from judo & sumo means 'method', 'technique', or 'skill'. So ground techniques are called newaza, nage-waza are throwing techniques, tachi-waza is standing & so on. Could be Boss is into the old Wazzap beer commercials.🍻

Grandpa story relating to the stereo effect in headphones: :-) The first time I heard a football match on FM radio I was walking my dog at night, and the stereo effect made the crowd sound like there were people all around me. No joke, 3 times I looked behind me because it sounded like there was a group of people shouting at me.

[@austball13]

You had me cracking up at the end of the video. Bravo, Dovydas!

[@InTheSh8]

Wouldn't it be nicer to build headphones with speakers that have a frequency response close to a guitar speaker? Impulse Responses are cool but they give you the sound of a mic'd cabinet. These 3D room sounds, I usually always switch them off (Yamaha THR10). Can't imagine that power chords sound decent in a simulated room effect.

The kanji alone means skill since its derived from Chinese language but in Japanese it carries different meaning...

[@stephenrochester6309]

Wanmohan If you take Pokemon as an example, TM in the English language version of the games vs WM in the Japanese versions: TM = Technical Machine WM = Waza Machine Seeing as these devices teach new techniques to Pokemon it is a no brainer that the meaning in Pokemon is ‘technique’ at least. Chinese characters in Japanese often have the same meaning but not all the time so you need to be careful. A lot of time has passed and a lot of politics since the early days of usage in Japan!!

It didn't make sense until you explained the surround sound feature.

[@karymwillemsen5564]

When I practice I need my real amp and my pedals at a decent volume. I find that I play differently true a real amp. The guitar starts to create kind of a life of his own at certain volumes. I even have the feeling that it starts playing me in stead of me playing her. I have the helix and helix native I thought it would be great for practicing. But I fret differently and also pick differently. Also a very important factor for my practicing routine is switching between sounds. IMHO you should practice on what you gig with full gear.

I bought these and am actually quite disappointed with the "3D" effect. Within approx 2 min of playing, the gyro drifts severely and the amp moves by itself in an unpredictable and very distracting manner. This drift issue is being discussed at length by owners on gear forums such as TGP. As many have, I will probably be returning my headphones and I suggest others wait until Boss has fixed the issue before investing in a pair, as there is no apparent way to update the firmware.
