Sonarworks, the audio software used by studios to record artists such as Rihanna and Coldplay has partnered with Drop to deliver a next-generation audio experience through their Sonarworks SoundID personalized sound app.
SoundID looks set to be a paradigm shift in how we perceive sound quality by moving away from a “one fits all approach” to a custom listening experience for individuals.
The SoundID audio technology is being added to the Drop + THX Panda Wireless Headphones, the company’s top-of-the-range offering to deliver their purest audio offering.
Think of the sound profile as your fingerprint but even more unique to you thanks to smart algorithms and machine learning that evolve over time so you can listen to your favourite songs in unrivaled clarity.
You can create your free profile in minutes and with a simple test that will determine your SoundID based on your “unique hearing ability and listening preferences which automatically save on your Panda headphones.”
“We’re excited to team up with Sonarworks to expand the features of Panda,” says Chief Product Officer and Co-Founder at Drop, Will Bright. “With the inclusion of a parametric equalizer, listeners can tune their SoundID profile and create separate EQ profiles. Once loaded via the SoundID app, these profiles are managed by the DSP cores in Panda, so the EQ is applied no matter what source you use.”
What the Drop + THX Panda headphones look set to offer is an audiophile listening experience without the need for wires. Thanks to Drop’s “3P Signal Path, a combination of high-bandwidth Bluetooth audio codec; a zero-distortion THX AAA™ amplifier; and phase-correct planar-ribbon drivers”, wireless performance is now right up there with wired. Drop + THX Panda headphones now have the lowest distortion of any wireless headphones currently on the market.
SoundID enabled Drop + THX Panda Wireless Headphones are available for $399 at drop.com.
