I have recommended this project to many people

Pros:

I use them everyday on my commute. It allows me to make quick videos of what I see and hear, not what a single microphone hears. I Love it!

Cons:

Like many BT enabled devices it picks up interference, especially on a busy NYC street.

Hey All. I want to point out some other cool features now available on our spanking new website: 1.Learn how to record binaural 3D audio to any device: https://hookeaudio.com/how-to-re... 2.Not sure what binaural audio is? Neither did we! Learn more about it: https://hookeaudio.com/what-is-b... Remember hearing is believing. It’s so awkward “writing” about something you have to “hear” in order to really feel the immersive sonic experience. So check it out. Eargasm away! Manhattan

Hi all - real review from a real user here. Been traveling with these headphones all over the world for more than a year, paid full retail for them. The sound quality is incredible. Every time I show a recording to someone, they end up looking over their shoulder thinking something is there - the spatial quality of the sound is like you're there. The main downside is the app is a work in progress. The video is a bit jumpy and the re-pairing process after every recording is a real bummer. But I've found with the long battery life I just let it roll as I'm at a concert or walking through somewhere sonically interesting. I do hope they fix the video issues - I know it's on their radar and it'll get ironed out soon. In the end it's about the sound and the sound is incredible!

I can't wait to share our next update with you! Thank you so much for your support and incredible feedback along the way. Record on!

Hey Hunters! David here, mobile maker at Hooke, I just wanted to share some features about our iOS and Android apps with you all. See, there’s never been a stereo Bluetooth microphone on the market that wanted to send two channels of lossless pro grade audio to a smartphone. The phones would have no idea what to do with the codec we’ve built. So building the apps was much more than just integrating a camera. They need to make the handshake with the wireless codec, and do it both on Android and iPhone.  App Features: •1080 & 4K Video capture •lossless .wav or .mp3 audio capture •ability to lock camera focus / lock camera exposure •Shoot 24fps  •image stabilization •dual lens zoom Enjoy!
