Bionik Gives The Mantis VR Headphones A Proper Release Date

Finally, after a long wait, the Mantis VR Headphones by Bionik is getting released, adding a new audio option for VR game lovers who may not be fans of other models being over their ears. The Mantis will be coming out on August 1, showing off a lightweight plug-and-play design that's both dust proof and tangle proof, and very easy to install as you simply clip them to the VR headset. The headsets are going to run you $50 and you'll need to own a VR device as they do not come with one or are packaged with one. Below is a quote from Amir Navid, Bionik's SVP for Product Development, talking about the headset's innovations before it comes out in three weeks.

Bionik Gives The Mantis VR Headphones A Proper Release Date

"Our goal with Mantis was to make the immersive PlayStation VR experience more visceral and profound by blocking out distractions and reducing the amount of gear you need to put on." …"Sound is an integral part of how we experience our surroundings. It taps into our emotions, it changes how we feel about things. The Mantis allows you to experience this powerful new technology with all your senses engaged. It integrates seamlessly with the PSVR® hardware with minimal size and weight and allows you to suspend disbelief and focus on the virtual environment created."
