Your 17-year-old self would definitely buy this wearable subwoofer

One of the best parts of watching a movie in a theater is getting feel the explosions rattle your bones. And when we go to live concerts or dance clubs, we expect to the beat to pulse through our bodies. Fortunately, subwoofers can bring that visceral experience into our living rooms and home theaters. But what about when we’re listening to our headphones? Why shouldn’t we get to feel the bass then, too? Apparently, the folks behind the Woojer were thinking along those lines.

The technical term for a device like the Woojer would be ‘bass transducer,’ but they also sometimes go by ‘bass shaker.’ We prefer to think of the Woojer as a wearable subwoofer. Simply place it inline between your source (smartphone, tablet, laptop … anything you want to connect headphones to) and then strap it (or clip it) on. The device then uses the bass information coming from your music, movie, or game to drive a transducer that essentially vibrates in concert with whatever you are listening to. The result is bass you can feel, not just hear.

 

We were intrigued by the idea, and apparently we weren’t the only ones. Woojer enjoyed quick success on Kickstarter, and now has a working device you can go buy right now. But does it work the way it is advertised? Well, sort of. check out the video above for the details to see if wearable bass is all its cracked up to be.

One of the best TVs ever made is below $2,000, and comes with expert delivery
Panasonic Z95A

When you look through our current list of the best TVs, there are exactly two TVs that should stand out to you, even if you're a casual skimmer. The first is the Sony A95L QD-OLED, simply because it is at the top of the list. The second is the Panasonic Z95A, not because it's the runner-up (which it is) but because it's... Panasonic. It's just not a brand we see making winning TVs, but wow, what a winner the Z95A is. We immediately called it one of the best TVs ever made, something that will be apparent to your eyes if you get it. Now, what's exciting about this TV right now is that it has a low price. You can get the 65-inch version of the TV for $1,998 right now, a savings of over $1,200 off its usual $3,200 price point. You can even get a deluxe delivery and unpack for free if you select the right option on the sales page (accessible by tapping the button below). But, this deal has been around for some time now, since around the start of summer. With Prime Day here and ending soon, it's very likely the time for this deal to end as well. If you want one of the best TVs ever for under $2,000, be sure to tap the button below now.

An amazing TV under $1,000 has a sub $500 Prime Day price (and it’s ending soon)
TCL QM6K

We're now in the final moments of Amazon's summer Prime Day 2025 event, and finding critical last-minute deals. Here's one that almost fundamentally changes how you'll likely think about a product. See, we have a whole list of the best TVs under $1,000, a price point that a ton of people that love TVs just don't feel comfortable crossing. Then, we have a separate list for budget TVs, the best TVs under $500. Even though prices (which move up and down!) are quantitative data points, the differences between a sub $1,000 and a sub $500 TV feel almost categorical in nature, like the difference between water and steam. This deal take the $600 55-inch TCL QM6K (one of the TVs in our 'under $1,000' list) and pushes its price down by $152. This puts it at a price of $448, which is an all time low for it on Amazon, transforms it into an 'under $500' TV. Tap the button below to get the transformative deal while Prime Day is still here or continue reading to see why we liked it so much even when it was over $500.
