DTS Announces Deepak Chopra iOS App Using Headphone:X

DTS announced an iOS app from Deepak Chopra and Above Technologies that’s encoded with DTS Headphone:X technology. Within the app, called The Non Local, Chopra narrates poems inspired by "Healing the Heart" meditations by 13th century Persian mystic Rumi. The app is designed to help users “calm down, reduce stress, normalize your blood pressure and sleep better by listening to sound in a holistic manner," said Chopra, an alternative medicine advocate, saying he chose the DTS technology for its “immersive sound.” An Android version will be available in December, DTS said Friday. A DTS spokesman told us roughly 10 apps integrate Headphone:X. Hardware products incorporating the technology include the Turtle Beach Ear Force i60 headphones and Turtle Beach Ear Force Z60 PC headset. The Vivo Xplay 3S smartphone, from China, integrates DTS Headphone:X, too, he said.
