Dr. Chesky says……Is it possible to hear an all natural 360 degree soundstage with just headphones and no artificial processing?
The answer is maybe. It depends on a few things. Everyone's ear pinnas are different, just like your fingerprints. In other words, people that have pinnas that closely match our B & K Binaural human shaped head microphone’s "ears" will hear the most precise and immersive sound field; those whose pinnas don't match exactly will still hear an immersive soundfield. We have recorded a great selection of music and tests to demonstrate that it is possible to be enveloped in a 360 degree soundfield with just a pair of headphones, without any ARTIFICIAL processing or additives, just all natural 100 percent organic Binaural. Of course, all headphones sound different and the immersion may vary, depending on the design of the headphone, and how it matches your pinnas. So if you have the chance, try listening with different full-size headphones as well as in-ear headphones. We wish you great listening.
Part of the Chesky Binaural + Series, all recorded with a single microphone, the band appears right before you with this spacious, lush and multi-dimensional recording. Now headphone users will hear the same three-dimensional sound and imaging as audiophiles have for the past 25 years with Chesky Recordings. Also these new Binaural+ Series albums capture even more spatial realism for the home audiophile market, bringing you one step closer to the actual event. You will hear some of the most natural and pure cool music ever recorded.
With You're Surrounded, Chesky Records releases the world's first binaural surround album for headphones.
Is it possible to listen to an all-natural 360-degree sound image using only headphones and without artificial editing?
The answer is, perhaps. It depends on a few things. The auricles are different in each person. In people whose auricles resemble the auricles of the Chesky B&K binaural-shaped head, hear a distinct and consistent sound field. Those whose auricles do not match exactly will still hear an impressive sound field. Chesky has recorded a wide range of music and tests, demonstrating that it is possible to listen to a 360-degree sound field with just a pair of headphones without artificial processing. Of course, all headphones sound different and the sound impression can vary depending on the design of the headphones and how it matches the ear cups.
Discover the full power of your headphones and immerse yourself in the world of binaural sound.
