Whether it was Gunship and the pounding Drone Racing– the kick drum alone makes it worth having a look at– Woojer Vest Edge For Sale… or The Word Alive’s Quit While You’re Ahead, I loved listening to music in this way. It’s somewhere 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 quickly replicate. If you’re a fan of symphonic music or 60s pop there’s going to be less of a draw, but if your taste alters towards the heavier end you’ll discover it tough to go back.
I followed up my musical jaunts with some motion picture time. This was where I took my first foray into VR with the Vest Edge, and the set up on Oculus Mission 2 was speedy and easy. Taking the 3.5 mm feed from the Oculus into the Vest Edge’s control system, you then attach your earphones in series before transferring them on your head. I worried that there ‘d be a lot of loose cable televisions, however with some positioning under and around the Vest Edge there was never ever anything in the way, and nor did it restrict my motion.
You’re best served here with some effective programs; I’m thinking more Michael Bay than Michael Moore. While you can have this set up for regular watching– it’s a cinch if you’re hooked into your DualSense or Xbox controller– VR watching is categorically the method forward. If you’ve had a look at apps like Prime Video VR or Bigscreen you’ll understand that they put you in a virtual movie theater, and seeing blockbusters in VR can be quite unique. Including the Vest Edge ideas things firmly into ‘nearly as good as the real thing’.
I went with Spider-Man Homecoming as my very first port of call, and things started out fairly subdued. I don’t believe I ‘d invested much time thinking of how filmmakers tweak the sound mix to draw the audience in, but the lack of low frequencies in the opening was hammered home once they appeared, including major depth to both the superhero and the soundtrack action. I liked this; it’s definitely like having your own cinema, and considered that I ‘d paired 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
