Interesting to see how a 1970s technology is suddenly gaining attention. Many people I know can't really tell the difference between mono and stereo.

Say thanks for VR and 360 things.

Problem is that this tech is not so good. It is better than stereo mikes, but it is just too few of them too close.

It might find favor with the ASMR youtubers as a binaural sound source. Also, clould be good for recording 5.1 foley and ambience. Or it could such... but Zoom makes good products, so it's worth a listen...
