The song was recorded by Fraunhofer IIS employees and binauralized with Fraunhofer technology from the MPEG-H Audio System, so it's best to enjoy it with headphones!

When the enchanting melody of »Silent Night, Holy Night« surrounds us, we are all likely to feel the festive spirit immediately. It is one of the most famous Christmas carols in the world, having been translated into more than 350 languages and individual dialects. »Surrounding« and »individual« are also two key characteristics of MPEG-H Audio, a fourth-generation audio codec developed here at Fraunhofer IIS.

The MPEG-H Audio system allows you to fully immerse yourself in soundscapes and customize them to your preferences whether you‘re streaming music and films, watching TV, or in the car.TV viewers in South Korea and Brazil are already enjoying its benefits on the new UHD TV.
