On Tuesday, JoeSoft announced the immediate availability of Hear, a sound enhancement program for Mac OS X. Hear's features include 3D sound, an equalizer, speaker correction and more.

"Once you've listened to your music or movies with Hear, you will never want to be without Hear.”

Hear's features include 3D sound, an equalizer, speaker correction, center channel control, a virtual subwoofer, ambience and fidelity control.


Hear is a universal application, requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later and is priced at US$49.95.

Sceptical? No. Curious? Yes.

Tonight when I get home I'm probably going to download and demo it. If it doesn't work, I'll have a good old mocking laugh and trash it. If not, I'll probably still trash it, say a few words of admiration and possibly post a message here about what I thought about it. Then trash it.

Unless it really is top notch, in which case, they'll get their $US50.
