I bet you haven't seen a gadget like this before! 

Doing a little bit better raising money was another strange gadget Bassaware. They were on a funding platform called crowdsupply where they reached 11% of their goal. Here's all the info on Bassaware.

Like low, low notes when you listen to music? This is one of most bizarre gadgets I've seen in a long time. The bassAware Drop is a new type of wearable audio device that uses vibration to create a massive bass experience. Here's how the company describes it: Wear your Drop to experience immersive sound and heavy bass that you can FEEL, anytime you’re wearing headphones from any audio source: your phone, music player, tablet, laptop, or game console controller. And now with our new bassAware Boost Mic Mode technology, you can also instantly sync bassAware with your home stereo, the sound system at a club, or the PA system at any venue - perfectly in time with the music coming from the speakers. The Drop delivers an unbelievable personal bass Boost! It’s super portable - you can take it with you anywhere - it’s small, lightweight, and battery powered. Everywhere you go - you’ll feel that visceral punch like you’re in the club or in front of a giant stack of speakers. And now back to me. The unit runs on a 2600 mAh li-ion battery pack with level indicator for an estimated 12-20 hours of use for each full charge. I did try the bassAware Drop at the GetGeeked event in NYC. You can feel the bass, but I also felt weird having this device on my back. Maybe younger folks will like it more. The other problem to my mind anyway, is the price. It's $349 for the model that's ready to go out of the box, or $279 as a kit where you get all the hardware but provide the way to wear it.
