Whether it was Gunship and the pounding Drone Racing– the kick drum alone makes it worth having a look at– Woojer Refurbished… or The Word Alive’s Quit While You’re Ahead, I adored listening to music in this way. It’s someplace in between being down the front at a gig and standing next to 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 reproduce. If you’re a fan of symphonic music or 60s pop there’s going to be less of a draw, however if your taste alters towards the much heavier end you’ll discover it hard to return.
Taking the 3.5 mm feed from the Oculus into the Vest Edge’s control unit, you then connect your headphones in series prior to transferring them on your head. I fretted that there ‘d be too many loose cable televisions, however with some placing under and around the Vest Edge there was never anything in the way, and nor did it limit my movement.
If you have actually examined 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 special. Including in the Vest Edge tips things strongly into ‘almost as excellent as the real thing’.
I opted for Spider-Man Homecoming as my first port of call, and things began relatively controlled. I don’t believe I ‘d spent much time thinking about how filmmakers tweak the sound mix to draw the audience in, but the lack of radio frequencies in the opening was hammered home once they appeared, including severe depth to both the superhero and the soundtrack action. I liked this; it’s absolutely 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, similar to you would in a fully equipped movie theatre. No, wait. It’s much better than that
