Whether it was Gunship and the pounding Drone Racing– the kick drum alone makes it worth having a look at– Woojer Vs Feelbelt… 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 club, and if you’re a fan of music the Woojer Vest Edge brings it to life in a way you can’t quickly 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 heavier end you’ll discover it difficult to return.
I followed up my musical jaunts with some film time. This was where I took my first venture into VR with the Vest Edge, and the set up on Oculus Quest 2 was swift and simple. Taking the 3.5 mm feed from the Oculus into the Vest Edge’s control unit, you then connect your earphones in series prior to transferring them on your head. I fretted that there ‘d be too many loose cables, however with some positioning under and around the Vest Edge there was never ever anything in the method, and nor did it limit my motion.
If you’ve examined out apps like Prime Video VR or Bigscreen you’ll know that they put you in a virtual cinema, and watching smash hits in VR can be pretty special. Including in the Vest Edge pointers things strongly into ‘nearly as great as the real thing’.
I selected Spider-Man Homecoming as my very first port of call, and things began relatively suppressed. I do not think I ‘d invested much time thinking of how filmmakers modify the sound mix to draw the audience in, however the lack of radio frequencies in the opening was hammered home once they appeared, adding severe depth to both the superhero and the soundtrack action. I liked this; it’s absolutely like having your own movie theater, and considered that I ‘d matched 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
