Hi PH community! 👋 Think of the last amazing thing you saw and easy it was to capture and relive on your phone. Now think of the last amazing thing you heard and how disappointing it sounded when you tried to capture and relive it. We're currently recording the world in mono (one channel), but we hear it in binaural (two channels). Half the audio means only half the story is being told. It can and should be better. Hooke Verse brings pro grade, immersive 3D audio recording to a device you already own: Bluetooth headphones. Life’s special moments deserve to be amazingly captured and shared. Hooke Verse does this without adding a piece of gear to your life and a price that makes sense.

Includes an inline analog to digital converter for wired recordings. ✅ SHARE: 3D playback can be enjoyed by anyone on standard headphones or stereo speakers; social media sharing functions can be accessed directly in-app; YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Dropbox, Google Drive ✅ BE HEAR: Hear sound as if you're there; product packaging can be transformed into a portable binaural head to record in 3D.

Hey PH! Geoff here, head of digital at Hooke. Just wanted to share some of our favorite videos captured in 3D audio. Watch with headphones to hear the magic:

This is a great tool for chronicling adventures outdoors. I sometimes find myself in wet environments during my travels (e.g. rain, snorkeling, canoeing, etc.) - is the Verse rated IPX7 or IPX8?

Thanks!

Pros:

Amazing recorded audio quality, Intuitive UX, comfortable fit

Cons:

More colors

The Hooke Verse is for me the best product I ever bought. It’s like VR for the blind. Even though I have a great sight I live a very sound based life and I love sharing my ambient soundscapes with people living on the other side of the globe. And when listening back to my recordings it’s like reliving the moments again and again. It feels like teleportation.

Apart from the high spec recording audio quality, the app and integration with the mobile phone makes it an easy to use product for everyone. Cannot recommend it enough for those that want to make the best our of their recordings!

Pros:

Gives your phone or DSLR the ability of recording, real, binaural 3D sound.

Cons:

I cannot think of any!

I backed it on kickstarter, and it's one of the few hardware kickstarter projects I don't regret backing.

Pros:

The Hooke makes it really easy to record good quality binaural ("3D") sound to any external recorder with a stereo mini jack input.

Cons:

The Hooke app, at least on android, isn't very good - it's unreliable and unintuitive.

A even more high end solution for studio recording would have been a nice alternative too.

Pros:

Comfy to wear, good sound quality, good battery, 3d-recording!, doesn't fall off while running. My Kickstarter set got stolen –now rebuying!

Cons:

In the start, the app did have some problems. Lately it has been much more stable.

Makes concert recordings in your phone 100x better. Also great for asmr

Pros:

Mobile binaural recording straight to your device at a good price point

Cons:

Could use an app update

If you haven’t tried the product you can’t even begin to imagine all the opportunities in audio you are missing.

Pros:

Unique product created by a dedicated and user focused designer.

Cons:

Not enough people know about Hooke

I have recommended this project to many people

Pros:

I use them everyday on my commute. It allows me to make quick videos of what I see and hear, not what a single microphone hears. I Love it!

Cons:

Like many BT enabled devices it picks up interference, especially on a busy NYC street.

You may THINK you have great headphones, but you must at least try out Hooke!

Pros:

Hooke takes sound to the next level and changes the way you experience listening to music and other recordings.

Cons:

None

Hey All. I want to point out some other cool features now available on our spanking new website: 1.Learn how to record binaural 3D audio to any device: https://hookeaudio.com/how-to-re... 2.Not sure what binaural audio is? Neither did we! Learn more about it: https://hookeaudio.com/what-is-b... Remember hearing is believing. It’s so awkward “writing” about something you have to “hear” in order to really feel the immersive sonic experience. So check it out. Eargasm away! Manhattan

Love this product and recommend to all my friends

Pros:

Best sound ever. Very easy to use.

Cons:

can't think of any

I also love recording nature with Hooke!

Pros:

The 3D recording gives the experience of being in the audience. Love watching everyone's faces as they experience the 3D!

Cons:

At first I had a ittle difficulty pairing it to my Android, but Customer Service is excellent!!

Hi all - real review from a real user here. Been traveling with these headphones all over the world for more than a year, paid full retail for them. The sound quality is incredible. Every time I show a recording to someone, they end up looking over their shoulder thinking something is there - the spatial quality of the sound is like you're there. The main downside is the app is a work in progress. The video is a bit jumpy and the re-pairing process after every recording is a real bummer. But I've found with the long battery life I just let it roll as I'm at a concert or walking through somewhere sonically interesting. I do hope they fix the video issues - I know it's on their radar and it'll get ironed out soon. In the end it's about the sound and the sound is incredible!

Hooke Verse easy to sync with both iPhone and Samsung phones. Used both.

Pros:

Great for recording music venues and any important event where you want surround sound. Recorded friends band that he then used to get gigs.

Cons:

None

Finally great sound to match the quality of my smartphone camera

Pros:

Incredible recording quality, great sounding playback, nice build quality, clever app, wireless

Cons:

None come to mind

Amazing sound!

Pros:

Such a great product for those looking to record quality sound at a reasonable price

Cons:

Excited to see this available everywhere

Hey Hunters! David here, mobile maker at Hooke, I just wanted to share some features about our iOS and Android apps with you all. See, there’s never been a stereo Bluetooth microphone on the market that wanted to send two channels of lossless pro grade audio to a smartphone. The phones would have no idea what to do with the codec we’ve built. So building the apps was much more than just integrating a camera. They need to make the handshake with the wireless codec, and do it both on Android and iPhone.  App Features: •1080 & 4K Video capture •lossless .wav or .mp3 audio capture •ability to lock camera focus / lock camera exposure •Shoot 24fps  •image stabilization •dual lens zoom Enjoy!
