Lately, visual content in the form of virtual reality and augmented reality is becoming more immersive. But, sadly audio content seems to have missed the bus, until now. Virtual reality won’t become truly immersive without focusing on the audio.

OSSIC X 3D audio headphone is already making heads turn. The hugely successful Kickstarter campaign, the company started, raised over $2.7 million, which is a lot higher than the target of $1 million set by the company. The OSSIC X also won the CES 2017 Innovation Award.

==The Need for 3D Audio Headphone==

Until recently, the best headphone experience one could get was from the Virtual Surround system. The virtual surround system uses the Digital Sound Processing technique to somewhat adjust the audio to give the illusion of directionality. The virtual surround system widely used in gaming headsets, at best, produces front-to-back effects. Even if the left-to-right stereo effect is added to the mix, users won’t really feel the sound emanating from the source in the 3D space. The 5.1 and 7.1 might help users experience the direction and depth of the audio, but we can’t wear them on the head. The OSSIC X 3D headphone will change the way we hear and perceive sound in the 3D environment.

OSSIC X delivers ten times the immersive experience given by current 3D audio technologies. OSSIC X ensures listeners get the most accurate audio placement and the best sound quality because of the following features.

Head Tracking: This feature will make the sound come from a distant source, outside the head. The sound will stay set in space.

'''Head Tracking''': This feature will make the sound come from a distant source, outside the head. The sound will stay set in space.

Head Calibration: Without using a lab, the head calibration feature will calibrate the torso and head. This feature ensures a higher level of immersion and enhanced sound quality.
