A few days ago I got you some speakers that were as loud as a rock concert, making you feel the music better but today, after researching more into this music device space, I found something never seen before, something that truly blows my mind. What if you could physically feel the music, on your body, in your soul? What if you could put on a futuristic device, get some headphones and play your favorite track while feeling everything. Pretty cool, huh? Well, that’s what Subpac brings to the table, a whole new experience.

Features

This bad boy has an audio frequency that goes from 1 to as high as 200Hz, that is more than any audio lovers may ever need. In case you’re worried that it might be too heavy and create you discomfort after wearing it for a more extended period, then, there’s nothing to worry about because it only weighs 1.47kg with its battery included.

Also, I know that some of you might want to take it on for a full day, wear it on the subway to work and back home so you might be afraid that the battery wouldn’t hold that much but again, there’s nothing to worry about. It has a rechargeable battery of 2400mAh which they predict to keep you going for as much as seven hours in one charge; I think that’s pretty good.

The beauty is that Subpac works like a speaker, but instead of transmitting the audio frequencies through the air, making noise, they send them through a tactile membrane making you only feel the music. Thus, it’s quiet, and nobody can hear your music, only you can feel it.

Design

Ok, I get it, you might think that wearing a full body base is not worth it for this experience but don’t get scared the design isn’t that bad actually. They managed to fit this music powerhouse into a rather small “backpack,” and I think that’s genius. The design is unique, it has the appearance of a backpack but at the same time it looks like it’s some armor from an SF game or movie, it has the best of both worlds. You can wear it over anything, and people would think that you have a regular backpack on but they would have no idea what impressive design you are actually using.

Thanks to its size you can easily fit it under a jacket or even wear it under a normal backpack filled with your stuff while still feeling the music. It’s so subtle that people wouldn’t even notice it, thus opening the doors to a lot of usage scenarios.

Usage

The possibilities for this device are just endless; you could use it in pretty much any audio experience you can think of, just let your imagination flow. If you’re a music producer, this would be perfect for you because besides just hearing your music, you could feel it, thus getting an idea about how the crowd would experience your music at concerts and knowing what else you could tweak.

You can also use it as a gamer to fully experience the virtual world that game brings to the table. If you’re using it with a VR set and some controllers, then, it would almost feel like reality. The technology is evolving so rapidly that we will soon be able to experience the virtual worlds in whole new ways.

And nevertheless, you can use this beast even if you’re just a hardcore music fan to get the most out of your songs, experiencing the physical feeling, not just audio one.

Conclusion

So overall idea, the subpac is for any audio lovers, regardless of the domain they are active in. It’s a complete beast that will make you experience your audio in a whole new way.

But, for this greatness, you gotta be ready to pay the price. The subpac is listed at €360 on their official site, and that’s roughly $420. For sure, it’s a bit pricey but keep in mind that it is break-through technology, something the world has never seen before.
