Whether it was Gunship and the pounding Drone Racing– the kick drum alone makes it worth checking out– Woojer Vest Edge Manual… or The Word Alive’s Quit While You’re Ahead, I loved 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 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 classical music or 60s pop there’s going to be less of a draw, however if your taste skews towards the much heavier end you’ll find it hard to return.
Taking the 3.5 mm feed from the Oculus into the Vest Edge’s control system, you then connect your earphones in series prior to transferring them on your head. I worried that there ‘d be too many loose cable televisions, but with some positioning under and around the Vest Edge there was never anything in the method, and nor did it restrict my movement.
You’re finest 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 viewing is categorically the method forward. If you’ve checked out apps like Prime Video VR or Bigscreen you’ll understand that they put you in a virtual movie theater, and watching blockbusters in VR can be quite special. Including the Vest Edge tips things firmly into ‘almost as good as the real thing’.
I went with Spider-Man Homecoming as my very first port of call, and things began fairly subdued. I do not think I ‘d spent much time thinking about how filmmakers fine-tune the sound mix to draw the audience in, however the lack of radio frequencies in the opening was hammered home once they appeared, adding serious depth to both the superhero and the soundtrack action. I liked this; it’s absolutely 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, similar to you would in a well-equipped movie theatre. No, wait. It’s much better than that
