This is 3Dio Binaural Audio

Put on headphones and enjoy this video compilation of some of our favorite binaural sounds recorded with a selection of different 3Dio microphones.

What is a binaural recording? Binaural recording is the process of capturing audio using two microphones shaped like human ears. 3Dio microphones feature two prosthetic, human-shaped ears spaced roughly 5" apart with microphone capsules embedded in the ear canals. Binaural microphones capture audio the same way your real ears hear sounds. In other words, they mimic human hearing. When you listen to binaural recordings using headphones, the result is a natural, three-dimensional sound that gives the listener the sensation of being in the space where the audio was recorded and allows the listener to pinpoint the location of those sounds in space. This phenomenon gives every recording a visceral quality that only binaural audio can provide.

What amazing sounds will you capture with a 3Dio microphone?

jesus christ that lightning at the start scared the hell out of me

[Perpetucake]

Not a single girl licking the ears as is their most common use now, 0/10

[loucipher]

basically every films with atmos tracks sound like this nowadays when you watch with headphone

[gummypoppa]

These guys really made it, thanks to the "ASMR sensation" on YouTube. Amazing

[LowLightVideos]

This sounds really great with a Dolby Atmos phone and no headphones.

The Sparkler was very clearly 3D because it went beside your head, but the tap dancing was too far away (and in one location) to work three dimensionally but the echo was realistic.

I'm listening to this with Polk Stereo Dimensional Array speakers (which compensate for interaural crosstalk) and the effect is pretty cool! Kinda better than headphones coz the sound is in front of and around me instead of in my head.

That baby in 3:55 melted my heart, anyone know the link to the full video?

[unoriginal_animations]

I plan to buy the FS-2W-001 soon (because it's the only one I can afford at present) but not for ASMR as is the common use, but for something that I think is way cooler.

[Koffiato]

Great yet horrifying experience. I'd give this a ASMR destroyed binaural audio/10

[UNBOXBURRITO]

I love binaural audio, need to buy a creepy mannequin head now

[RelaxingWalks]

Is the thunder clipping at the beginning digital or analog? I'm assuming it's digital.

[epiphoney]

Do the type of headphones matter? I have usb EarPods. I guess sound imaging quality of headphones helps.

[vaporii]

Oh jeez, the light flickered while there was thunder in the beginning

[moonstation]

Sparkler moving up and down sound 🤯 Htf?!?

[ramzamountain]

How well does it operate if liquid get in it?

[DFAT]

time to buy the freakish ears on a stand

[loncydale]

"It should sound like a NY city"

Looks like a London -_-

[TheHighPriestessStudio]

What recorder was used in conjunction with the 3Dio?

[bartonseagrave]

No moving drums going around my head, where’s Jimi to add some guitar.
