Sennheiser has created the world's first intuitive, compact and mobile binaural recording headset. The Ambeo Smart is a ground-breaking headset that captures immersive 3D audio with mobile device simplicity placing the listener inside the soundscape and playing back the direction of sounds and natural spatial characteristics of a location.
Sennheiser has partnered with the award-winning manufacturer of professional audio devices Apogee, an industry leader at the forefront of digital audio recording, for the creation of this breakthrough product. The Ambeo Smart Headset's detailed and realistic recording is achieved via two omni-directional microphones integrated in the ear pieces that work alongside a premium A/D converter, mic preamp and SoftLimit from Apogee. The two microphones capture the subtle differences in timing, volume and timbre that occur as sounds from different directions reach each ear. When played back on headphones, the result is a truly stunning lifelike audio experience in picture-perfect fidelity the company says.
The Ambeo Smart Headset enables consumers to precisely record in 3D directly onto Apple iOS devices featuring a Lightning connector. A version for Android devices is planned for release later this year.
The Ambeo Smart Headset also offers Transparent Hearing, an important safety feature that lets you hear what is going on around you while using the headset. The Transparent Hearing feature can be conveniently adjusted using the headset's 3-step rocker switch. The earphones also deliver excellent linear sound attenuation, limiting external noise and offering the same effect as with high-quality earplugs. For the ultimate in comfort and sound quality, the optimized earhook design minimizes structure-borne noise, while ensuring an excellent secure fit for incredible sound and comfort on the move.
