If you’ve been paying attention to the music scene lately, then you’ll know that today’s top tunes typically have one thing in common: they’re all about that bass. Fans of EDM (and Meghan Trainor) certainly get it. And according to a report published by the 2016 International Music Summit in Ibiza, the electronic dance music industry is now worth $7.1 billion, which is 60 percent more than it was just three years ago.
If tracks like “Don’t Let Me Down” by The Chainsmokers, “This Is What You Came For” by Calvin Harris and “Never Be Like You” by Flume are staples on your go-to music playlists, then you’ll love Sony’s EXTRA BASS speakers and headphones. From poolside listening to impromptu house parties and personal jam sessions, EXTRA BASS technology will let you turn up the bass in any situation. Read on to learn what fuels the Sony EXTRA BASS technology and which EXTRA BASS speaker or headphones were made for your lifestyle.
The Power Behind the Sony EXTRA BASS
The Sony EXTRA BASS headphones and speakers use Electro Bass Booster technology to bring those famous bass lines into focus and get you and your friends moving. The Electro Bass Booster button is custom-made for anyone who loves to dance and feel the music, literally. This battery-powered enhancer digitally increases low-frequencies in the music and maximizes the deep, punchy sound and rhythmic feel that bass-lovers dream of. This button can be turned on or off to suit the mood and soundtrack of the listener.
Each speaker and pair of headphones is engineered with the EXTRA BASS function in mind, crafted to ensure that listeners are able to hear and feel the exact amount of bass they crave. Whether you are pumping up the bass with friends, by yourself or on the go, there is a Sony EXTRA BASS audio gadget that is right for you.
