Gear SubPac Gives You Portable Low-End Sensations

Posted by Dave Segal on Thu, Mar 7, 2013 at 10:53 AM

"The SubPac is going to revolutionize how people experience music forever," says Todd Chernecki, co-founder of SubPac. According to SubPac's website, the product "is a high-fidelity portable tactile audio device that quietly and directly transfers low frequencies to your body," at a price similar to that of premium headphones. For people who think it's not enough to simply hear music but to feel it, SubPac could be a real ~~game-~~ internal-organ-changer.

SubPac has endorsements from such top-flight musicians, labels, and organizations as Adrian Sherwood, Kode9, Mala, Joker, Pinch, John Tejada, Hyperdub, and Decibel, so maybe there's validity to the grandiose claims. One wonders if it's going to come in various sizes, though. Seems like the larger one's back is, the less impact the SubPac will have.

Check out the Kickstarter video for SubPac below.

I was expecting a 2Pac/SubPop artists mashup. This still sounds cool though. Mashups are over.

I got to try one out and it made such a difference, than using just the headphones. I heard all the parts of the song that you really only heard when you blasted the music.
