June 3 2024, 06:10
IDUN audio announced that its spatial audio software for wireless headphones and earbuds is now available on the latest Bragi 5 audio platform. The partnership between the Danish developers of advanced embedded audio solutions and the German smart hearables pioneer will enable users of Bragi-enabled headphones and earbuds to experience the immersive world of spatial audio, responding to a growing consumer demand for more dynamic and realistic sound experiences.
 

Spatial audio is rapidly gaining popularity among consumers seeking a personal and more immersive listening experience. By simulating a three-dimensional sound environment, spatial audio allows listeners to perceive sound as if it were coming from different directions and distances, enhancing everything from music and movies to gaming and online meetings. 

The embedded approach pioneered by IDUN audio, is based on its spatial audio software that can be configured to enhance any listening situation, independently of the playback source device. Its software engine can render many static or moving sound sources in any acoustical space, from a small room to a large concert hall. For manufacturers and brands, this partnership expands the number of software options available through Bragi's latest experience platform, Bragi 5, allowing users to select and activate the features they value the most.

"Partnering with Bragi is a significant step forward in our mission to bring high-quality spatial audio to a broader audience," says Pauli Minnaar, CEO of IDUN audio. "With the integration of our technology into Bragi's platform, millions of users will now have access to more engaging and lifelike audio experiences on their existing Bragi-enabled headphones."
 

Bragi, renowned for its innovative approach to smart audio products, sees this partnership as an opportunity to provide even more differentiated products to the market. "We are excited to welcome IDUN audio as an important component of the Bragi 5 experience," adds Nikolaj Hviid, the company's founder and CEO. "Our customers have expressed a strong interest in spatial audio, and with IDUN audio's solution, we can now offer this sought-after feature to our partners and end users."

IDUN audio's advanced spatial audio engine for personal audio devices has been embedded on leading platforms and chipsets such as those from Qualcomm, Airoha, Greenwaves and BES Technic. The highly efficient physics-based spatial audio implementation will be accessible to all compatible Bragi devices like those based on the latest Qualcomm S3 Series SoCs, through a simple app update, making it easy for users to instantly enjoy superior listening experiences.

IDUN’s solution will now be available in the Bragi app store, allowing users to create more elaborate and personalized spatial audio experiences. IDUN's software supports precise low-latency head tracking and will be available in both Dynamic spatial audio, as well as Static spatial audio. "We expect that as more and more headphone brands release solutions with integrated IMU sensors the Dynamic solutions will become the predominant choice  among the users," explains Ivan Sandager, Chief Commercial Officer at IDUN audio.

More information on how to get access to IDUN audio’s spatial audio features will be provided in the IDUN audio and BRAGI websites.
