Sonic Lamb Beyond headphones use skin vibrations to boost bass
Sonic Lamb’s Beyond headphones add bass you can feel as well as hear.
The headphones have a driver in each ear that sends low-frequency vibrations through pads resting against the skin.
The vibrations follow the music, and users can choose from 10 intensity levels and personalized profiles for music, movies, gaming or other preferences.
Sonic Lamb says the headphones will go on sale in the US in November 2026 for $249.
They also support several wireless and wired audio options and offer up to 40 hours of battery life, but do not have active noise cancellation.
The new model builds on Sonic Lamb’s earlier headphones, which were praised for adding a physical sense of bass to music.
The company has not stated when the Beyond will be available outside the US.
Sonic Lamb’s Beyond headphones use vibration to let listeners feel low-frequency sound through their skin.
An Impulse Driver in each ear sends vibrations through the headphones’ “wooferpads,” with frequencies as low as 2Hz.
The vibrations are synchronized with the audio, and users can choose from 10 intensity levels and personalized profiles.
The headphones are due to go on sale in the US in November 2026 for $249.
They include Bluetooth 5.4 and offer up to 40 hours of battery life, but do not have active noise cancellation.
