Sony 360 Reality Audio demo

Try Sony's 3D sound format with your own headphones!

Very impressive! This sound sounds like sound

Yes... it is very sound, isn't it?

[@theadmin2726]

Yes, the sound here is made of sound.

[@iminacatsuit]

Huh?

[@wreiad]

The last few seconds were spooky. It sounded like actual speakers were in my room as the sound tapered off.

Listening on 3 year old broken apple headphones sounds great :’)

[@Ducky24120]

In response to the usual purist responses - Clearly its going to be a DSP layer on top of the raw audio, but there's a good reason for solutions like this. Headphones are unable to accurately recreate nearfield speaker setups which most recordings are mixed and recorded with. Individuals vary in greatly with imprecise generalized head-related transfer functions which is used in response to an inherent distortion arising from headphone drivers being placed perpendicular to the ear, creating different accoustics. HRTF factors include differing ear shapes so its interesting that they are trying to use a machine learning approach to better fine tune a personalized HRTF function. Stereo imaging has long been an issue with headphone design, so I'm interested to see where this going. Its certainly not an easy problem to solve.

[@MarkWelch]

I tried this out with a fresh pair of AirPods Pro. I heard some of the sources in the right places, but I heard a small weird ghosting effect with a few sources above or behind me, that made it harder for me to pinpoint the intended location. But overall, this video works well for this pair of earbuds.

[@jorgeliguori5782]

Give me a full song, I don't want to hear just little pieces of the same song. I want to hear the full image.

[@albertomartin70]

That little piece of song had drums, percussion, piano and electronics... just look on KZbin for 360 music... but keep in mind that Britney Spears won't be jumping around your ears while singing, no one will 😂

[@kaymow_24]

This sounds sooooo goodt, periodt! 🙆🏼‍♀️💖💯

[@craigmiddlemiss6917]

the xm3s sound amazing with the 360 i waited 8 months before trying this just let my ears get accustomed to the sound and there is very very very big difference before the 360 what i noticed was songs with poor audio production really stood out now even the shit muddy sounding songs sound amazing ITS TO LATE by EVERMORE is just jawdropping

[@nileredsexperiment834]

Listening with a cheap pair of $60 Sony wireless headphones. Pretty cool stuff.

[@investinate8051]

the last 30 seconds were pretty fucking fantastic

[@hellotheregeneralkenobi365]

It helps to have visual cues. With my eyes closed there wasn't much difference between level, higher, and lower.

[@AdelaideBen1]

Totally agree... it's better to test this with your eyes shut - in those cases it didn't sound much different to stereo. The exception was the "rear" and that just sounded muffled. I think that for the majority of people, this comes down to suggestability... for a minority, it might make a difference.

[@anthonysonnheim4182]

I never seem to be able to pickup the front sounds with whatever 360 I try. It always seems to be coming from behind.

[@Cal2Or9ies]

It's nice, but I'm not paying $14.99 a month just to listen to music.

[@zUltra3D]

this

[@robertpetts6465]

I’m sorry but it sounds to me like the 360 effect is more like just panning sounds back and forth between the two channels, sort of like listening to a Led Zeppelin album.

[@yanzzx]

My headphones can do all of it

Sounds like a normal stereo sound to me. The test in the sony app is much more impressive.

Listenung on sony wfc 500, i cant beliving this, this wow rffect

[@gamespost1226]

Its a shame that I can’t even test this out with music unless I want to pay for tidal or deezer, as off right now I can’t tell weather 360 audio is something to be excited about, this video shows me that it’s a real thing and could potentially be cool but guesse I won’t find out for a fat min smh why deezer over Spotify?😂

[@Sanmiguelarcangel2024-u9b]

Ich hatte gestern erstmalig ein Deezer-Abo abgeschlossen. Ich musste gleich auf das Hifi-Abo für 19,99€ gehen, damit ich 360 Virtual Audio nutzen kann. Danach hatte ich mir die App Deezer 360 auf das Iphone geladen. Mobil könnt Ihr 360 Virtual Audio nicht nutzen, da die App keine Titel downloaden kann. Man sollte sich auch im Klaren sein, worauf man sich da einlässt. Ich habe nun einmalig das Hifi Probeabo für 19,99€ abgeschlossen, um herauszufinden, a) es gibt kaum Titel für 360 Virtual Audio b) die bereitgestellten Titel fast überwiegend Oldies (ca. 1962 - 1975) sind und auch so klingen (!) c) es so gut wie keine Titel aus der aktuellen Zeit und von heute aus 10-15 Jahre zurück gibt d) Künstler wie z.B. Doris Day, Barry Manilow usw. bei der kleinen Sammlung große “?” aufwerfen e) meist nur B-Seiten-Titel und wenig erfolgreiche Alben aus der alten Zeit bereitgestellt wurden f) die Soundqualität allgemein der Zeit zwischen 1960-1975 gleicht g) lediglich die Stereobreite künstlich weiter gezogen wurde (teilweise einfach Hall dazu addiert) h) vom Surround-/Dolby-Atmos-ähnlichem Kopfhörer-Klang keine Rede sein kann Ich glaube, dass Sony hier bewusst Geld in punkto Rechte/Lizenzen sparen wollte. Vielleicht kommt Sony auch erst gar nicht an Rechte/Lizenzen bekannter und erfolgreicher Titel. Kein einziger Titel beeindruckt einen in punkto Klang und schon gar nicht in punkto 360 Virtual Audio. Ich nutze den Sony WH-1000XM3, der ja extra 360 Virtual Audio verbaut hat. Wenn ich 360 Virtual Audio denke, dann eher an z.B. Pink Floyd (die beiden erfolgreichsten Alben), Jean-Michel Jarre (Oxygene/Equinoxe), Yello (alle Alben ab 1980), Hans Zimmer, Blank & Jones, Chill Out Music (ala Cafe Del Mar), High End Music allgemein (gibt genügend bekannte Einzeltitel). Es geht mir hierbei gar nicht um konkrete Genres oder Künstler (da bin ich voll flexibel). Es geht um Aufnahmen der letzten ca. 20 Jahre (ggf. auch älter), die persé schon eine beeindruckende Soundqualität haben und mit gezielt platzieren Soundelementen spielen. Hier hätte 360 Virtual Audio einen Mehrwert in punkto “bombastisches” Hörerlebnis liefern müssen/können. Deezer schreibt zwar überall, dass die Anzahl der Titel weiter wächst, aber seit Launch von 360 Virtual Audio letzten Herbst ist schon reichlich Zeit vergangen; und, man sieht das Ergebnis. Vermutlich kommen demnächst noch Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra usw. dazu, wenn ich mir den aktuellen Stand so ansehe. Mit Verlaub: 360 Virtual Audio wird letztlich eine Eintagsfliege gewesen sein, wenn das so weitergeht. Das Probeabo kündige ich natürlich gleich wieder.

[@Slayerized2701]

I don't think any record has mixed with a 360 audio approach yet. Maybe just cinema audio. All records are still on stereo, so this feature is useless and/or is just distorting original audio.

[@Ajajambo]

Angel Ramirez (M&F) completely agree, I was actually confused whether the software enhance the song to 360 or it must be recorded in 360 first. I installed Tidal just to compare song for song with ITunes and guess what it sounds the same. So I guess if the song isn’t recorded or mastered to 360 there is no benefits in using this option at this point until later ......

[@jeffsmith5207]

From what I can tell, Atmos is a channel based system. Meaning there is a defined channel for each of the locations they expect audio. You tell it where the sound is coming from, and going to. 360 Reality Audio is touted as being more of a 'sound engine' where a program is given parameters (X/Y/Y Coordinates, Yaw (maybe roll?)) and then produces this 'rendered' audio.

[@caseyblike5985]

In short, headphones vs. no headphones. I have Atmos in my TV room, 360 RA on my headphones/phone.
