Basslet is exactly "watch size" subwoofer. At first glance it looks like a strange wristwatch with no dial, but there is no clock function, it is a device made just for playing the bass. The model name is engraved on the inner part hitting the wrist.


I think that there are many people who thought "Connecting with smartphone and Bluetooth etc. to play bass ......" In fact, Basslet is actually a device that does not require any application at all. As a result, you can even use smartphones to connect to a DJ mixer and experience the bass, or even use it by connecting to the old cassette tape walkman.


Basslet body size is 34.4 × 37.5 × 8.7 mm, weighs 134 grams. It is set to cover low to mid bass from 10 Hz to 250 Hz, and it is possible to play for up to 6 hours with 1 hour charge.


And the device which sends the signal wirelessly to Basslet is called "Sender". By inserting this Sender between earphone jack and earphone / headphone that I use all the time, sending only bass components to Basslet, I am sending normal music to earphones. The Sender is battery-powered and has a built-in battery in its main body.


The connection method is like this. Because there is a smartphone, we tend to think "Would you like to use the app?", But Basslet is a device that can be used by itself.


In the body of Basslet, batteries and drivers for producing vibration, control boards and controls are mounted. (GIF animation will be played by clicking the image)


The product package includes a replacement belt, a Basslet body, a Sender, a USB cable for charging, and a quick start guide not shown in the picture.


When listening to music, as well as playing games you can also add power. I can not judge the effect until I actually feel "bodily sensation", but it is a matter of how much force is added to this small device.
