360 Reality Audio is a new immersive music experience that uses Sony‘s (object-based) 360 Spatial Sound technology. Individual sounds such as vocals, chorus, piano, guitar, bass and even sounds of the live audience can be placed in a 360 spherical sound field, giving artists and creators a new way to express their creativity.

Our aim is to get the creative potential of 360 Reality Audio into the hands of all creators. We’re continuously expanding our creation, distribution and music streaming partnerships to enhance music experiences.

360 WalkMix Creator™ helps both professional and amateur creators transform their stereo audio mixes into limitless 360 Reality Audio. Sound stems can be placed above or below, at front, to the side or behind, to bring music-loving fans right to the centre of an elevated musical experience.

Producers and sound engineers in music studios worldwide are finding new ways to connect with listeners, beyond conventional stereo, with 360 Reality Audio.

The 360 Reality Audio catalogue is growing rapidly – from legendary remasters to immersive live shows, and even Grammy Award® winning new creations like the latest Alicia Keys album, ‘Alicia’. Every day there are new things to stream and enjoy from your favourite artists and those you’re yet to discover.

Be immersed wherever you are with 360 Reality Audio video and audio content on the world’s best streaming services. Enjoy listening on headphones or 360 Reality Audio Certified speakers and home theatre systems.

You can experience 360 Reality Audio with your favourite pair of headphones thanks to the immersive sound field. Leading consumer electronics brands offer 360 Reality Audio Certified products, from headphones to home theatre systems, for an elevated experience.

In Stereo, sounds are sourced from just two speakers. With 360 Reality Audio, sound sources – vocals, instruments and effects – are each placed on a 360 sphere that surrounds the listener and creates an immersive experience.

In Stereo, music plays inside your head. With 360 Reality Audio, music surrounds and immerses you, with different sounds materializing from points all around your head.
