Hardcover Book: The Technology of Binaural Listening for $106

And now some lightweight reading 🙂 The 511-page “The Technology of Binaural Listening (Modern Acoustics and Signal Processing)” (March 2013) in hardcover is on sale for $106~ by Amazon actual. A couple of sub-90% marketplace sellers have it for under $100 shipped, but they are not Prime eligible. The sale is such that the used prices are higher than the new condition prices. The hardcover is lower than the Kindle even.

There are two ways to look inside at the above Amazon page. The Kindle sample shows the first paper of the book (“Introduction to Binaural Processing”), while the “Look Inside” on the hardcover shows random pages throughout the book. The combination of the two can help you get a pretty good feel on whether this is something you’d be interested in.

A total of 18 research papers are included. This is not a consumer-facing book.

As of 6/14/17 recheck this sold out: in “Used – Like New” condition (damaged original packaging) for $86~ by Amazon Warehouse Deals actual. There’s only one used listing for them at the moment.

They are also available in “Used – Demo” condition for $90 plus shipping at Adorama.com. Shipping appears to be $5 flat ~ at least for my three test zipcodes (East, West Coasts, In-Between).

PS: there are three models currently in the HD 25 line. The “normal” HD 25, the “HD 25 Light” and the “HD 25 Plus”. If you think that’s too much, Wait until Samsung’s marketing team gets a hold of them, “HD 25 Active”, “HD 25 Duo MEGA”, “HD 25 Alpha”, etc 😉
