69-year-old MP3 inventor wants to build the best headphones in the world​

Karlheinz Brandenburg is a world-renowned researcher in the audio field and co-invented the MP3.

Guitar music fills the room. Rich sound from two speakers gives you the feeling of being in a concert hall. If you then put on headphones, this acoustic experience changes – nothing.

The sound continues as if the guitarist was sitting right in front of you, and the sound changes as the wearer of the headphones moves closer to the speakers or further away – unlike other headphones where it stays the same. It is the perfect acoustic simulation of movement in a natural environment. Until now that didn’t exist.
