In the last 12 months, we’ve witnessed incredible headphone/headset releases. Recently, an incredibly innovative and crazy portable music player popped out and the whole idea behind the product is great! It is a player that you can carry anywhere you want and you can connect your favorite pair of cheap earbuds and this player will make them not-cheap instantly.
A company called Woojer made a product that goes by the name “Strap” and it literally lets you feel the music that you’re listening to. As the name says, it is a strap that you can carry around your chest/shoulder and it vibrates along with the bass treble for further music experience. Thanks to Lewis from UnboxTherapy we’re able to see what more it is capable of.
What is this strap?
This “Strap” player is easy to adjust and wear, and the volume of your audio, as well as the intensity of the haptics, are all controlled through a simple interface on the front of the unit. This is a much more impressive looking piece of hardware than the original and takes much less time and effort to put on and take off.The draw is the emotional connection you get from games when you can feel the bass in your chest and back. The hardware peels off the higher-frequency sounds and finds a smart place to put the barrier between sounds you hear, and those you feel.
After you connect the Strap to your console or PC through one audio cable and connect your headphones to the Strap so you can hear what’s going on, lower-frequency sounds in a certain range will make the front and back pieces rumble against your body.It’s something you have to try during an intense gaming session to really understand. Your body drops into fight or flight mode when you hear something loud enough to feel it in your chest, and providing that kind of primal reaction is the goal of good haptics.
The hardware runs for about eight hours on a three-hour charge and comes complete with all the cables you need. Every audio source you’re already using is compatible with it, as long as you can connect via Bluetooth or a standard audio cable. This sort of thing isn’t cheap, but it adds much more to your games than you may expect.
How powerful and expensive is it?
A device like this is certainly hard to go without an app nowadays. It has a specially created by Woojer app that you can use to adjust it however you want to. When used together with the Woojer Strap or Woojer Vest, the app amplifies the fully immersive haptic sensation by delivering the bass frequencies directly to your body. Amazing for music lovers and gamers. Strap & Vest catapults any multimedia experience with hi-fidelity haptic feedback. The immersive sensation augments the rich emotion of sound exactly the way you love it.
Woojer is a pioneer in the field of haptic technology with a fundamental patent portfolio and products that deliver high fidelity tactile sensation which reproduces the rich emotion of sound. Here’s what people who tried Woojer have to say: ” I feel like I’m in Vegas.” ” Wow. This would be awesome with Battlefield 4.” ” I can FEEL those explosions rocking my body.” ” It’s like I’m standing just in front of a large Subwoofer. This is crazy.” ” I FEEL like I’m dancing, but I’m not moving.” ” It’s like I’m touching a speaker.” Get ready to rock and FEEL the Sound. The “feel” is actually the slogan of the product, which is not just a great marketing strategy but is actually the whole truth behind the device. Judging by the reviews and feedback by those who tried it, we can clearly understand that its a powerful player. As a music lover, I really love how they came up with such an interesting and crazy idea and the price of $170 is reasonable, if you can afford it of course. It’s not a device that’s made to suit all, so think twice whether you’re going to need such an intense experience or not, before you buy it.
