Whether it was Gunship and the pounding Drone Racing– the kick drum alone makes it worth checking out– Woojer Edge Werbung… or The Word Alive’s Quit While You’re Ahead, I loved listening to music in this way. It’s somewhere in between being down the front at a gig and standing beside a bass bin in a club, and if you’re a fan of music the Woojer Vest Edge brings it to life in a way 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 heavier end you’ll discover it hard to return.
I followed up my musical jaunts with some film time. This was where I took my first foray into VR with the Vest Edge, and the set up on Oculus Mission 2 was easy and quick. Taking the 3.5 mm feed from the Oculus into the Vest Edge’s control system, you then attach your headphones in series before depositing them on your head. I worried that there ‘d be too many loose cables, but with some placing under and around the Vest Edge there was never ever anything in the method, and nor did it limit my motion.
You’re best served here with some powerful programs; I’m thinking more Michael Bay than Michael Moore. While you can have this established for regular watching– it’s a cinch if you’re hooked into your DualSense or Xbox controller– VR watching is unconditionally the method forward. If you’ve taken a look at apps like Prime Video VR or Bigscreen you’ll know that they put you in a virtual movie theater, and viewing hits in VR can be quite special. Adding in the Vest Edge pointers things securely into ‘nearly as good as the real thing’.
I went with Spider-Man Homecoming as my first port of call, and things started out fairly suppressed. I do not believe I ‘d invested much time thinking about how filmmakers modify the sound mix to draw the audience in, however the lack of low frequencies in the opening was hammered home once they appeared, adding serious depth to both the soundtrack and the superhero action. I enjoyed this; it’s absolutely like having your own movie theater, and considered that I ‘d paired the Vest Edge with Razer’s haptic-toting Nari Ultimate I was experiencing every blow, every blast, just like you would in a well-equipped movie theatre. No, wait. It’s better than that
