Music has been an integral part of almost anyone's life for many years, impossible to deny. Bluetooth headsets, classic headphones for smartphones and PCs, like the simplest stereos in any car, each device is functional to be able to listen to the songs we love, like the catchphrases that arrive punctually every year. However, although some devices have already brought extremely interesting features to the market, we are witnessing a very particular fashion in the last few hours. It is a phenomenon born mainly on the Whatsapp platform, which has however taken over until it also fills Youtube and all the other social networks, including public posts and private chats. Let's talk about audio and 8D music, tracks capable of creating unique and engaging listening sensations, as long as you are equipped with any pair of headphones with two pavilions.
We are not talking about the advanced Dolby Atmos 7.1, but about a technology that can literally work on any headset used for both ears, optimally even on mobile phones. It takes very little to be able to deal with this phenomenon, it is within the reach of all regular listeners. Needless to say, the higher the quality of the audio output and the headphones, the greater the feeling perceived by the user for this phenomenon will obviously be. But what is it then? Well, let's find out in the next few lines!
A new 360 ° experience
Although you may have already experienced similar sensations to those transmitted by 8D audio and music, this time it is something rather peculiar. These technologies were born several years ago, despite having received their dose of virality only in the last few days. It is a phenomenon fueled on balance by the quarantine, which however arrived at just the right time, to allow all the bored people at home to discover new horizons of music and the sensations that our brain is able to stimulate. It is not the first time that such a phenomenon has been patented and made available to anyone, literally the right program is enough converting music to 8D becomes quite simple.
We have dealt with i in the past sounds bineural, which were able to create a somewhat similar final sensation for the listener, but these are techniques developed already at the base in a completely different way. If for the result of the bineural audio it was necessary to adapt the output frequencies with the right parameters, here instead we are dealing with an audio that is literally in motion, which manages to make the listening feel at the center of the sound. The aforementioned sounds, or noises, forced the brain to adapt a sound of slightly different frequencies for the two pavilions, allowing it to produce a specific sensation that many believe is extremely useful for relaxing and training memory. 8D music is a completely different kettle of fish but manages to give, as already mentioned, similar sensations.
It may seem strange, but the latter is really a technique at the mercy of anyone, since it is enough to actually allow the sound to move between the two earphones of the headphones in the correct way, almost as if it were in circles. Here because headphones are strictly necessary, which is why it can work smoothly on any device capable of playing music, since it is not processing but simple playback. We speak to the actual of a deception to our brain, which will be able to give us the aforementioned sensations with only a little effort. Don't worry, he will certainly not be offended, and your ears will be the first to rejoice without a doubt. You will find yourself in the center of a magnificent orchestra, or a dialogue, where you can hear the sounds revolving around you. You will have to deal with noises that can actually indicate your position, a bit like in video games. Explaining emotions and sounds with words is quite difficult, what to say: seeing is believing! In order to appreciate the depth of such a technique it is good to close your eyes, as you will avoid getting distracted and can concentrate to the maximum.

Is it really 8D music?
Although it is not a who knows how difficult concept, at least if properly simplified, the wording 8D is not exactly correct for this technology. It is a small lie "for good", designed to make the concept extremely clear and intuitive, bringing the concept back to the idea of 360 °. In reality, the words “360 ° audio” would have been more appropriate, but the web decided to use the four cardinal points and their angles as a reference. It is certainly not the first time this has happened, just think of 4K which is only the number of pixels horizontally possessed by certain panels, but who would ever buy a TV with 829.440 pixels? The important thing is to understand the concept behind this amazing idea, and why not, use it a little.

Is it malicious technology?
Although, as already mentioned, this is an idea with a few years on its shoulders, there are still no official studies that demonstrate a harmfulness of 8D audio and music. If with the bineural sounds we were dealing with an effort of the mind, which triggered the emotions, in this case we are dealing with actually regular frequencies, which simply give the effect of movement by cheating the brain a little. Presumably, therefore, it is legitimate to think that these are not harmful to the mind, at least if used with caution and not for several consecutive hours. After all any cap can cause headaches if worn for a whole day.
However, only the official studies will be able to give us a certain answer, so we would like to advise you at least not to use them to fall asleep, since if they were harmful they would apply their effect for a whole night. Before leaving you also, we would like to attach below an interesting song in 8D, which could make you appreciate the aforementioned technology to the fullest. In case you want to immerse yourself further in this universe, we recommend the following dedicated youtube channel.
