These headphones promise better bass by transmitting it through your skin, not your ears
Sonic Lamb's new Beyond headphones deliver low-frequency pulses through your skin for 'visceral sound'
Sonic Lamb has unveiled a new pair of headphones called Beyond, which promises to deliver a more physical sensation of bass by transmitting low-frequency vibrations through the skin rather than the ears. These headphones, scheduled to launch in the US in November 2026 at a price of $249, feature Impulse Drivers in each ear that generate vibrations as low as 2Hz, synchronized with audio to replicate the physical sensation of speakers pushing out sound.
The company claims this technology, which was already tested in the first generation of Sonic Lamb headphones in 2022, really works and adds a new dimension to music. The Beyond headphones offer 10 intensity levels and personalized profiles for different activities such as music, movies, gaming, or adjusting audio to personal preferences.
They also come with Bluetooth 5.4, LDAC, aptX Lossless, Bluetooth LE Audio, LC3, USB-C digital audio, 3.5 mm analogue audio, multipoint connectivity, and a dongle for low-latency gaming connectivity. The headphones have a battery life of up to 40 hours. While the design was previously criticized as unrefined, audio experts praised the sound quality, comfort, weight, and padding, comparing the experience to being at a live concert.
