In this video, I'm reviewing the APL Duopan plugin, a new panning tool that combines traditional amplitude-based panning with time-based panning approaches based on psychoacoustic principles. I'll demonstrate its features including the T-A slider for blending panning methods, the head shadow functionality that mimics natural frequency dampening, the dual band option for frequency-specific panning, and its seamless integration with immersive audio formats.

In this detailed comparison of the Sony MDR-MV1 headphones against the Ollo Audio S5X and Sennheiser HD490 Pro, I discover that the concept of "binaural-optimized headphones" might be oversold, as all three high-end headphones perform nearly identically for binaural audio, suggesting that buyers should focus more on personal comfort and sonic preferences rather than specific binaural capabilities.
