I am afraid it was a major let down:
It uses HRTF to down mix the 5.1 / 7,1 audio from games / or any audio source,
Thus emulated surround sound, which is what I thought.
HRTF is very good, I use HeSuVi, which has umpteen different HRTF pre-sets to choose from. and it is very good.
10.0.0.0.1
But I just tested this THX Spatial audio from razer:
- Its a stand alone app, runs out side of Synapse (major Let down)
- The demo with in the app, to test the surround sound, after adjusting it, doesn't seem to work. As it goes round your head, the positioning of sound in the headset does not relate at all.. Very poor, compared to HeSuVi, Dolby Atmos App, and DTX Sound Unbound, or even windows spatial audio. There seems to be no positioning at all.. And the demo THX film on the last page, its a mess, nothing sounds where it should be. But i watch the same vid, using HeSuVi, then it is correct...
- THX should have just brought out a windows store App, like Dolby, and DTS have done, and allow it to work in the windows menu as Dolby and the others do..
- Having to rely on buggy razer drivers, Sorry Razer, but its true...
- Do not buy this in its current state.. Poor show from Razer and THX....
These are my own thoughts, on a first play through, I will keep playing with it to see if I can get it working as it is supposed to.. But first impressions, not good..
