WHISMR Headphone Festival 2025 Autumn WHISMR LLC (Representative: Yuji Yamada), developer of the 3D audio brand WHISMR, will be exhibiting at the Autumn Headphone Festival 2025 (organized by Fujiya Avic), to be held on Saturday, November 1, 2025. In addition to the currently available binaural ASMR microphone “WHISMR W-BM1,” the venue will also feature the first public unveiling of a prototype of a new option, the “Face Mask (Silicone Rubber),” which improves sound localization. This is a must-see exhibit for producers and ASMR creators pursuing 3D sound expression. Exhibition Information Exhibition Name: Autumn Headphone Festival 2025 Date and Time: Saturday, November 1, 2025, 11:00 AM – 6:30 PM Admission Fee: Free Venue: Venue: Station Conference Tokyo, 5th and 6th floors Location: (Sapia Tower, 1-7-12 Marunouchi, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo) Official website: Autumn Headphone Festival 2025 | Fujiya Avic – New and Used Products Booth Name: WHISMR Booth No.: 602A-D 3. About the WHISMR “Face Mask (tentative name)” (prototype) The “Face Mask (tentative name)” is a new, exclusive option from WHISMR developed to improve the unclear sound image in the frontal direction when using binaural microphones that do not have a head structure. By reproducing more natural sound propagation characteristics, it delivers a realistic, three-dimensional recording experience. Its design allows for easy attachment and detachment to the W-BM1, so even existing W-BM1 users can upgrade the quality later. In addition, the silicone rubber material allows for a wide range of applications, depending on the creator’s ideas, such as ASMR recording and acoustic research. This prototype will be exhibited as a way to expand the possibilities of new expression.

With binaural microphones, which generally do not involve the head, sound from the front passes through with almost no diffraction, which can cause a hearing loss known as the “center drop phenomenon.” A face mask made of silicone rubber can improve this center drop phenomenon and improve the quality of the sound image from the front. About WHISMR “W-BM1” The WHISMR W-BM1 is a compact, lightweight, and portable binaural microphone. It eliminates the need for an additional audio interface or batteries and allows you to record immersive binaural sound using only your smartphone. Anyone can easily get started with ASMR and binaural recording, and it’s suitable for a wide range of users, from field recording in production environments to beginners. Equipped with a built-in bus-powered audio interface and a digital filter for binaural frequency response correction, it’s suitable for a wide range of uses, from ASMR using soft silicone earbuds to immersive 3D sound recording.
