The Basslet is a wearable subwoofer for your body. Using a whole new technology for sound, it delivers the beats and basslines of your music directly to you – so you can literally feel the music. The result is a powerful sound experience that headphones alone cannot provide.
The Basslet is a masterpiece of engineering. It puts the power and accuracy of a large sound system into a device that fits on your wrist. It is completely silent to the outside world – and despite the size, it makes you feel like you are surrounded by sound.

“An accessory that takes listening to music from just another hobby, to a truly immersive and memorable experience. The Basslet changes the way we listen to music.” – The American Genius
“We could think of Basslet as the subwoofer for headphone wearers as well as a way to make music an even more visceral experience.” – Ask.Audio
Sound is meant to be felt, not just heard. It’s the physical dimension that makes the difference.
Feel the music – anywhere you go
Today we take our music with us – on the bus, at the gym, on the plane. With the Basslet, we can finally take the massive experience of live music anywhere we go.
DJs & music creators: feel the sound
Low end gives music its power. With the Basslet, you can feel the thump of a kick drum or the groove of a funky bassline throughout your body.
Immersive gaming & VR
Jump into your game and feel the heat of the action as if you're there.
Connect it to your favorite devices
The Basslet works for anything that has sound: connect it to your smartphone, laptop, gaming console, VR headset – even with your old Walkman. No app needed.
Connect the sender to your phone, laptop or music player and plug in your headphones.
Strap the Basslet to your wrist – you’re done!
The Basslet is packed with innovative technology designed in Germany. Our LoSound engine (patent-pending) effortlessly recreates bass frequencies down to 10 Hz. It provides a bass-optimized frequency response and large dynamic range to handle low end peaks with extreme accuracy.
The high precision of the LoSound engine results in a deep sound experience – creating the illusion of standing next to a subwoofer. Our tech is based on an innovative voice-coil design with highly optimised magnetic flows which allows it to be extremely powerful yet remarkably compact.
It’s one-of-a-kind. There is simply nothing like it out there – and we're very proud of it.
The Basslet is truly designed for everyday life.
The Basslet comes with a small sender that plugs between your headphones and any device with an audio jack socket.
When creating the Basslet, our intention was to combine our sophisticated technology with a clean and timeless design that reflects our high standards in terms of quality, usability and comfort. We wanted a design that supports a single purpose - feeling the music - without any distractions. Everything you see on the Basslet follows that purpose.
In order to meet our high standards, we partnered with the award-winning design studio WertelOberfell to create a product that looks and feels instantly familiar. The materials were carefully chosen to make the Basslet comfortable, light, and fit for your everyday activities. The Basslet is engineered as a single system optimized to deliver maximum vibrations to your body – built to make you smile.
And if you want to create your own look, the Basslet strap can be easily replaced with any 24mm watch strap.
