Whether it was Gunship and the pounding Drone Racing– the kick drum alone makes it worth taking a look at– Strap With Vive Woojer… or The Word Alive’s Quit While You’re Ahead, I adored listening to music in this way. It’s someplace between being down the front at a gig and standing next to a bass bin in a bar, and if you’re a fan of music the Woojer Vest Edge brings it to life in a manner you can’t easily duplicate. If you’re a fan of symphonic music or 60s pop there’s going to be less of a draw, but if your taste skews towards the much heavier end you’ll discover it hard to go back.
I followed up my musical jaunts with some movie time. This was where I took my very first venture into VR with the Vest Edge, and the set up on Oculus Quest 2 was quick and basic. Taking the 3.5 mm feed from the Oculus into the Vest Edge’s control unit, you then connect your earphones in series prior to depositing them on your head. I fretted that there ‘d be too many loose cables, however with some placing under and around the Vest Edge there was never anything in the way, and nor did it limit my motion.
You’re best served here with some effective programming; I’m believing more Michael Bay than Michael Moore. While you can have this established for routine watching– it’s a cinch if you’re hooked into your DualSense or Xbox controller– VR viewing is unconditionally the method forward. If you have actually checked out apps like Prime Video VR or Bigscreen you’ll know that they put you in a virtual cinema, and seeing hits in VR can be quite unique. Including the Vest Edge tips things securely into ‘almost as good as the genuine thing’.
I went with Spider-Man Homecoming as my very first port of call, and things began reasonably subdued. I don’t think I ‘d invested much time thinking about how filmmakers modify the sound mix to draw the audience in, however the lack of radio frequencies in the opening was hammered home once they appeared, including major depth to both the superhero and the soundtrack action. I loved this; it’s definitely like having your own movie theater, and given that I ‘d combined the Vest Edge with Razer’s haptic-toting Nari Ultimate I was experiencing every blow, every blast, much like you would in a well-equipped movie theatre. No, wait. It’s better than that
