SubPac M1 Review: A Subwoofer You Wear Like a Backpack

gizmodo.com

The SubPac M1 is an intriguing wearable subwoofer that offers a unique music experience by letting you feel the bass. It's a thrilling tool for DJs and producers needing deep bass, and a fun addition for gamers and movie fans. However, its bulky, awkward controller and cumbersome wires detract from usability, making it impractical for everyday use. At $350, the SubPac is more a novelty than a necessity, particularly given the design flaws and the dorky public appearance it creates. While it adds a new dimension to music appreciation, investing in quality headphones might be a better choice for most.

Absolutely Ground-Breaking

We are in love with this piece of gear - we use it for producing songs, videos and for DJing live in our performance setup. Its great to combine this with Sennheiser headphones like the HD-600 for a perfect representation of your mix. You can feel the sub bass without it taking amplitude from the high frequencies. This is the future. Although you couldn't really take this on a plane without disturbing people (you can still hear it thump), but it would be absolutely capable of being a road warrior in hotels etc. You could easily produce top-quality mixes on the go. We have two of these, and one of them blew out already - so be careful with turning up the intensity knob. Luckily SubPac has good customer service and was able to repair that unit and get it back to me soon thereafter. These will probably sell-out consistently for years to come.
