It was reminiscent of times before iOS and Android, when Windows was trying to be the OS for phones a new approach to sound design for headsets was needed. No wonder then that previous software and hardware solutions failed to secure a permanent space in the hearts of most gamers. Without that critical personal HRTF information, surround sound on headphones sounds mechanical and artificial. We went back to the drawing board and realized that the reason Atmos and DTS could never deliver was because those solutions had no knowledge of a user's unique ear profile. In 2017, Embody’s team of gamers and strategic partners came together with a singular mission: to finally deliver on the promise of a realistic 360 surround sound listening experience on headphones. Headsets are the most accessible and viable way for gamers to experience surround sound.Ītmos and DTS made the promise of bringing that same home theater visceral experience on headsets. But how many gamers can spend 10’s of thousands of dollars on a surround sound system? Plus we need to be able to communicate clearly with our team members, which is pretty difficult when you have 8 speakers blasting high octane combat sounds at you and your microphone. We knew that games like Overwatch, COD, and CS:GO all support multichannel audio and playing them on a full 7.1 home theater system offers an incredible experience. Sounds like a promise made by Dolby Atmos and DTS decades ago! And you are right, it was a promise we were all cheering for. Turn your headset into a Surround Sound System. Embody is democratizing spatial audio for all gamers! Join us.
