Drop your cynical protective shields and listen up. MyEars 3D Audio is not the ‘virtual surround sound’ you think you already know. Where other products use generic Head-related Transfer Functions (HRTFs) to filter the sound, MyEars lets you build a custom HRTF to suit your ears and the headphones of your choice.

What better holiday gift to yourself than customised headphone listening profiles to enjoy the future of headphone gaming?
