With the AMBEO LAB app, sound truly comes alive and transforms your environment into an interactive audio visual soundscape. Users can capture, touch and shape sound. In addition, to deliver the best music quality experience, Sennheiser has partnered with Magic Leap to develop the AMBEO AR One in-ears. Seal off external noise for full focus or turn Transparent Hearing on to hear interesting sounds around you and blend them with your virtual immersive audio soundscape.
