This tiny $100 box lets you really feel the bass, even using headphones

We don’t experience music solely with our ears — we have the capacity to sense it all over our bodies. Feeling the bass thud in your chest at a concert or at a movie theater is a vital part of the experience, and we often miss that in the home environment. So, what if you could get that same sensation while playing a PS4 game, or listening to an album on Spotify? That’s exactly what the Woojer is designed to do, and this tiny box effectively adds another layer of immersion. In fact, it might just be the next piece in the virtual reality puzzle.

Plug in your audio device over a standard 3.5mm jack, and the Woojer will send out strong vibrations that match the bass notes perfectly.

By placing this device against your chest or the small of your back, these strategically placed vibrations supposedly trick your brain into feeling that your entire body is being surrounded with vibrations. ExtremeTech’s very own Sebastian Anthony has tried out this device, and the results seem surprisingly positive. If you want to feel your music without investing in an elaborate sound system, this seems like the perfect solution.
