Whether it was Gunship and the pounding Drone Racing– the kick drum alone makes it worth taking a look at– Woojer Company Stock… 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 beside a bass bin in a nightclub, and if you’re a fan of music the Woojer Vest Edge brings it to life in a way you can’t easily replicate. If you’re a fan of classical music or 60s pop there’s going to be less of a draw, however if your taste skews towards the heavier end you’ll discover it tough to go back.
I followed up my musical jaunts with some film time. This was where I took my very first foray into VR with the Vest Edge, and the set up on Oculus Mission 2 was speedy and basic. Taking the 3.5 mm feed from the Oculus into the Vest Edge’s control system, you then connect your earphones in series before depositing them on your head. I fretted that there ‘d be a lot of loose cables, however with some positioning under and around the Vest Edge there was never anything in the way, and nor did it restrict my movement.
If you have actually inspected out apps like Prime Video VR or Bigscreen you’ll know that they put you in a virtual movie theater, and watching blockbusters in VR can be quite unique. Including in the Vest Edge tips things firmly into ‘almost as excellent as the genuine thing’.
I don’t think I ‘d invested much time thinking about how filmmakers modify the sound mix to draw the audience in, however the absence of low frequencies in the opening was hammered house once they appeared, adding serious depth to both the superhero and the soundtrack action. I liked this; it’s definitely like having your own cinema, and given that I ‘d paired the Vest Edge with Razer’s haptic-toting Nari Ultimate I was experiencing every blow, every blast, simply like you would in a fully equipped movie theatre.
