Virtual Hair Cut Anyone ?

You'll need headphones for this to work!

Dont listen it with your speakers and then with your headphones!!!
You will just ruin it.

Make sure there is no noise around, close your eyes, turn the volume up a little bit, hold and press headphone on your ears for better hearing, play it and enjoy this impressive audio work ( illusion ).

Not a screamer not a prank!

This is an ASMR Video so enjoy your virtual haircut... :D

It is again a demonstration of why this stuff has limited value. It is not universal and only works for the average cross section of people.

First of all, it's a bit of a mean demonstration since it focuses on the upper rear quadrant, which appears to be the easiest to get right.

For me, it failed in several ways. The guitar playing came from above my left. Unless it was intended for him to be hanging from the ceiling, that was not right. Also, with the scissors, the went properly from right->behind->left. But on the way back the sound stayed behind me and never went over the top as it was said.

So this demo failed for me as every other HRTF demo has failed. No sound from the front, no sounds from below.

How was the experience for others?

At my pc this was an awesome experience and a friend of mine also tried this out and he said WoW!
I have the razer Megalodon headset 7.1 but it doesnt work well with 7.1 so I had to set it in Stereo Mode to fully experience this.
Also I have tested this with the wireless Logitech G933 and I had the same awesome experience.
