OSSIC X is creating a new type of headphones, by combining 3 dimensional audio algorithms with the users head and ears, to provide a deeper audio experience than one normally gets with traditional headphones.  The OSSIC 3D headphones can be used in a variety of applications for a better sound experience, including virtual reality, gaming, movies and of course music.

OSSIC X 3D Headphones Startup

OSSIC is based in San Diego, California and raised nearly $3 million from a Kickstarter campaign.  The company started its fundraising efforts in February 2016 with a goal of raising $100,000.  The campaign was fully funded within hours of launching and ultimately received more than 10,000 backers.  According to the Kickstarter campaign updates, OSSIC plans to deliver its new headphones in November 2016.

The OSSIC startup was founded in 2014 and was previously known as Sonic VR.  According to their website, the founders of OSSIC have over 50 years of combined audio experience and worked previously for Pioneer and Logitech.
