"For iOS Devices with Lightning Port Only"

Common sense says there are much more USB C out there than Lightning Port , but I guess this is not for us non Apple people

Bought one for a stocking stuffer. Or some other excuse because it looks like a sweet deal.

These are a tad niche, but an amazing price--gonna try them out at work. Thanks OP!

Well I mean there's this as the cheapest

Anker has a proper one "designed" for lossless audio for $40 on Amazon as well.

Tempting.

What is 3D Audio and why do I need it?

3D Binaural Audio recording is the process of capturing the world around you as you hear it. Sounds that occur behind you will truly sound as if they are coming from behind again. While similar to surround sound, the resulting recording is actually a stereo audio file. AMBEO Smart Headset can record 3D binaural audio onto any video file and anyone can experience 3D sound simply by listening back on any pair of stereo headphones.

How does “Active Noise Cancellation” work?

Sound from the AMBEO Smart Headset´s built-in omnidirectional mics is actively processed to generate a “negative image” waveform. The idea is a physical principle of noise and anti-noise. An artificially generated sound field that is phase-inverted to the sound field of the noise in our ambience and has the effect of cancelling out the unwanted low frequency noise which is close to the ears (with the stereo microphones). Sennheisers sophisticated electronic circuit calculates a sound wave that is phase-inverted by 180 degrees to the unwanted noise. It is most effective on continuous sounds such as airplane engine noise, rumble, and ventilator fan noise.

What is “Transparent Hearing” and how does it work?

Using the AMBEO Smart Headset’s built-in mics, the Transparent Hearing feature lets you hear outside sounds and create the perfect balance between your surroundings and your music. This is ideal for bikers, walkers, joggers and anyone else who wants to be aware of what is going on around them without removing their headphones.

With the free AMBEO Smart Headset app (available on the Apple App Store), it´s possible to select one of three Transparent Hearing presets or enable all 3 levels of Transparent Hearing in the App for a handling via remote control / rocker switch:

• Reduce Level: when you are in a loud environment such as a concert, this setting offers the hearing protection of earplugs but with a reduced level of surrounding sound. So if you think the music is too loud choose this reduced level and protect your hearing while enjoying the concert without compromises in sound quality.

• Natural Level: The level of surrounding sound is at its natural level, neither reduced or amplified. This is the recommended Transparent Hearing level when you do a recording with the AMBEO Smart Headset to stay connected to the scene although being blocked by Inears. You still be able to react accordingly to the situation you are in.

• Amplify Level: Surrounding sound is amplified, so you can hear every nuance.

Good reviews overall, but this is a very very niche product: if you are into video recording and audio recording, This might be for you

Take note that while your video might have binaural audio with rich 3D sound, sharing such video using today's platforms like Instagram and Facebook etc. will "flatten" the sound for most listeners

If these were USB-C I'd buy a pair
