An Indian audio model that’s driving revolutionary new options in private audio? Signal me up, for Rapture Innovation Labs’ quirkily named Sonic Lamb headphones! Their premise is straightforward – not solely must you ‘hear’ the music, but additionally ‘really feel’, be ‘immersed’ in and should you’re a bass-head, have the ability to unleash the ‘beast’.

The Sonic Lamb headphones are claimed to be the primary headphones on the planet with patented hybrid driver acoustics, through a mixture of 40mm dynamic drivers for frequencies above 120Hz and a 27mm impulse driver for 20-120Hz low frequencies. The air conduction from the previous is married to the bone conduction of the latter to breed a bodily sensation of sound through vegan leather-based “Wooferpads” (ear cups), every of which act as a transferring diaphragm when positioned atop your ears. Consider it as a subwoofer on every ear. 4 modes, every with rising ranges of bass – Hear, Really feel, Immerse and Beast – take you from delicate bass…to excessive bass!
But, for one thing that drew inspiration from high-fidelity headphones that the founder utilized in his childhood, the Sonic Lamb headphones should sound good, even with out the subwoofer smarts. And so they do – there’s a clear and pure sense to the audio, and relying on the music you like, you’d seemingly be switching between modes to get the correct quantity of heft into the devices and the vocals. I swung between Hear and Really feel modes on most tracks, and solely opted for the Immerse and Beast modes after I fired up the few hip hop or EDM tracks I like – they’re merely not meant for all genres and might get moderately fatiguing over longer durations. It’s whereas watching motion pictures and enjoying quick paced first individual shooter video games which you could actually admire these modes, notably in motion sequences.
All that is wrapped up in pretty plane-Jane black pair of closed again headphones which, whereas feeling nicely put collectively, is a bit plasticky, particularly when you think about the competitors it’s up towards at this value. It lacks lively noise cancellation, which implies these are greatest utilized in a house/workplace surroundings, not throughout journey. You do get USB-C charging, which additionally doubles as much as join the headphone in wired mode to a smartphone for top decision music.
