VR-Compatible Headphones

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

These High-Tech Headphones Can Be Used In Conjunction With VR Headsets

— September 15, 2016 — Tech
The JBL Everest Elite high-tech headphones have been getting a lot of positive reviews for their excellent sound quality and unbeatable ergonomic attributes, but these headphones can now be used in conjunction with the HTC Vive virtual reality headset to make it possible for you to enjoy a different level of engagement and immersion.

This system works by connecting JBL's proprietary Ambient Aware system with the HTC Vive activity perimeter, which makes it possible for the headphones to automatically go about reducing the audio and turn on the headphone's microphones so that you can listen to what's going on in your surrounding environment.

While there are lots of high-tech headphones out there, many people are concerned that these technologies make people too immersed in their own world, but the JBL Everest Elite's compatibility with the HTC Vive ensures that people can easily snap in and out of their surrounding environment.
Trend Themes
1. Virtual Reality Immersion - JBL's headphones' compatibility with VR headsets provides a complete immersive experience and presents an opportunity for companies to innovate on the VR technology front.
2. Ambience Mixing - JBL's headphones' integration of proprietary ambient aware system creates an opportunity for companies to innovate in sound quality technology.
3. Compliance to Environment - The perfect balance of sound quality and awareness of one's surrounding environment presented by JBL's headphones presents an opportunity for safety-tech innovation in high engagement scenarios.
Industry Implications
1. Audio Equipment - The JBL Everest Elite headphones' integration with VR headsets presents an opportunity for audio equipment manufacturers to innovate and create highly immersive audio experiences.
2. Virtual Reality - The JBL Everest Elite headphones' compatibility with VR headsets creates an opportunity to bring audio and VR technology together in a more comprehensive way.
3. Safety Technology - The JBL Everest Elite headphones' ability to switch between audio and ambient sound presents an opportunity for manufacturers of high-engagement equipment to create a new safety-tech technology in various industries like manufacturing, construction, healthcare, etc.
