‘You don’t listen to this jacket. You feel it’: someone made a sci-fi jacket that includes 180 built-in speakers, and for way weirder reasons than you’d expect
Vollebak has introduced a unique Sonic Jacket featuring 180 built-in speakers designed to create immersive experiences. Unlike traditional audio devices, this jacket aims to engage the wearer through frequencies rather than music. The jacket is currently available for pre-order, with pricing details yet to be announced.
- ▪The Sonic Jacket is designed to help users achieve 'entrainment' states through its frequency output.
- ▪It features 180 speakers that cover a frequency range from 4Hz to 20,000Hz.
- ▪The jacket was created by a special effects team known for their work on major films like Dune and The Martian.
