SubPac develops immersive physical-sound hardware, including the SubPac M2 wearable vest and the SubPac S2 seatback device, that lets users feel low-frequency audio through their bodies. The devices are Bluetooth plug-and-play and connect to laptops and phones to reproduce bass that is otherwise felt rather than heard. SubPac positions its products for music creators, listeners, and applications in VR/AR, noting accessibility benefits for deaf and hard-of-hearing users. The company has attracted attention from music industry figures—Timbaland has partnered with the startup—and from technology investors. SubPac is pursuing broader adoption by approaching creators working in emerging immersive media.
