Virtual Barbershop
Sunday, March 2nd, 2008Don your earphones/headphones and listen to this sound clip for your (free) virtual haircut. It sounds so damn realistic! No screamers, I promise! Remember, don’t use speakers, use only earphones or headphones! Trust me, it’s worth the 5 minutes that you spend.
Edit: I did some more search online, and here’s what I got:
These super clear audio files are called holophony (holophonic sound recordings) and are designed to be listened to with headphones for the best effect. They have been recorded with a dummy head that has two microphones, one in each ear. The shape of the head and ears are designed to be similar to a human head to most closely replicate real human hearing. It’s pretty incredible.
Grab your headphones and have a listen. While the content itself isn’t that engaging, the sound effects will probably have you listening a second time.

Head over to the site for a (slightly) clearer sound of the virtual barbershop, and more holophonic examples.
