About the company
Subpac designs wearable audio hardware that lets users physically feel bass frequencies to deepen their listening experience. Its flagship product, the Subpac X1, is a vest-like or backpack-style device that rests against the body and converts audio signals into vibrations you can feel, typically routed through the C1 Box and a companion app. This makes bass and low-end content tangible beyond traditional speakers or headphones. The system pairs with existing audio sources and software so creators and music lovers can experience immersive sound in a hands-on way. Compared with typical audio gear, Subpac emphasizes tactile feedback as a core feature and offers a complete ecosystem (hardware, a control box, and an app) sold directly to professionals and consumers, with limited-release drops that create urgency. Its goal is to change how people relate to sound by enabling physical sensation from music, with potential benefits for emotional, physical, and mental well-being.
