Woojer Strap: The Definitive Review

[@kennethchanner5830]

$119 right now. Just ordered one. Gonna wait for the ryg to come out to see how it does in the reviews.

[@whiskeyweekly7533]

As a person who bought one, I would strongly recommend not buying it. I was looking forward to this so hard and was really let down. I probably used it 3 times and now it's back in the box. When turned up, you could hear it vibrating loud enough that it was easily audible with my open-backed headphones. Watching people react to it was such a farce in my opinion. It literally just feels like something's vibrating on you in two specific areas. Nothing like "being a concert" like they claim. Keep your expectations low and this might be okay for you. It will by NO means be "mind blowing."

[@llxltwistedlxll]

You wanna sell yours?

[@GeorgeGarciaobi-gueygarcia]

thank you for the honest feedback. remember propaganda "fake news" is always going to try and get you to buy what they sell.

[@charliedosh6163]

Totally agree. I was pretty pumped for this...but underwhelming once I got it. Not crazy about it.

[@MrGamingPlays]

how is it for gaming in monitor and vr gaming? have you tried yours on those? cuz i mainly wanna use it for those not just listening to music and few tv shows here and there but mainly gaming

[@duhmez]

I got mine and it is NOT "intense" or WOAH! Like people on KZbinr were saying. I even saw a guy or two saying he had to turn it down because it was too intense as to be distracintg. it feels like getitng tickled with a slight vibration, like what a game controler is ding when it vibrates. Very weak vibrations and also only on certain frequencies. My Metallica music I was plkayinmg at max setting was almost not moving at all. Maybe when I strap into VBR itl be a bit better with gun shots and stuff, feeling al little more immersive. I wonder if many of the reviews I have seen have just been using the TEST TONES video specifically set to make it vibrate the most, and not real actual things like music or games?

[@phillipallen3468]

This is THE best review of this product I've seen so far. Well done.

[@Jeffdachefz]

Underrated channel. Nice review.

[@KarlMeyer]

Thanks!

[@Word_Wise_Woman]

I agree, very detailed and love how he even went in depth with the female helper. That really helped me a lot! 👍🏾

[@Hanzi2u]

The back thing on the strap immediately turned me off in this Edit : Great review man you deserves more subs. I did sub

[@Red23UK]

Two years later, and nothing popped up. Sucks to be me :(

[@angelalovell5669]

P.S. Double plus thank you for the review re:women's bodies because that is EXACTLY what started me off looking for video reviews of this. I was like "Wait, they're pretty much just showing that one woman with it on her hips.... wait, did that guy wear it diagonally across his chest?" It's kind of telling that they don't seem to have addressed any of this yet. Thanks for the review. With what's going on now, I feel like people are way more likely to be looking at items like this, especially as physical stimulation to negate anxiety and pain. I'm kind of curious as to why they're still crowdfunding, if that's the more financially viable option for smaller companies these days, to conduct sales this way long term or for the first few iterations. Hm.

[@BlackRoseInTheIce]

Glad ya made this review. This helped me a lot about my decision, didn't thought that woman would have issues using them.

[@christophermauro-barias5255]

i was considering buying because im into high quality music but after watching this review im passing. ty.

[@Czakerka]

Same here 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@flaviuspopan8024]

Keep up the great reviews, I really appreciate the depth you reach with these devices. I picked up a Strap yesterday so I look forward to testing it's freq response in greater depth. Thanks for the info!

[@KarlMeyer]

Thanks!

[@BassLast]

Hi, thanks for reviewing this. I have two questions that you may have the answers to: 1. If it transforms stereo to mono, what about the headphones output? Do I still get stereo in my headphones when they're connected through the woojer? 2. Does it transfer microphone signal? If I play online with a headset will I be able to chat normally if my microphone headphones are connected through the woojer?

[@georgemparkertv]

Seems the app is good if the belt is under clothing in cold weather and you can't get to controls.

[@KarlMeyer]

This is a totally valid point.

[@40blockstudios60]

Wonder what affect these type of things have on your internal organs?

[@billedmonds7958]

I have just received the vest edge device and it's awesome! In the UK it was £300 which is pretty good for a device with so many actuators. I'm not a small guy, so it's a tight fit, but I don't care. It's a tool for home use. I got the strap adge for a girl friend and she has the same issues with it. She likes the effect, so gets by it. Of course that meant that I had to buy her a new cell phone with better Bluetooth, so it's getting up there in price, but I help all friends as much as I can. It has been an extraordinarily expensive two weeks, but so be it.

[@kyb0]

I'm happy to sub at 1k, cant wait till you blow up. This video came up on auto play I as using this as background noise, but hearing your review had me intersted. Your content is solid. Great vid keep it up!

[@stonechops]

I like this guy, he’s throws out so much shade. 😂

[@robertruff8050]

Just received mine this is 6/27/22. I have reviewed your review and some of the posts. I'll see how it goes myself and report back. I especially like how you added the female perspective to the video. The marketing videos makes it look like no sweat, no configuring issues when the female wears them. 🤔 That's really good to know...since I was going to get one for my daughter if this worked out, but maybe this one is not right for her, at this time. We'll see how it goes.

[@gunnerman1880]

Thanks for your help on buying this I saw it on FB for£99 but I think it maybe worth waiting for the update version when it comes and hope it's improved.

[@collectiveheartbeats4264]

Hey man. Great Channel. First off I want to say I ordered the subpac before I watched your reviews. a bit excited I can't wait for it to get here and I was watching your reviews just to see what the woojer was. I'm happy to hear that I made the right choice I just wanted to say thank you for taking your time to review both items. Also I was talking to some friends about the subpac and the woojer. I'm glad you touched on the woojer and how it fits on a woman's body. That way I can relay it to her. That is something I never even thought of and that is a very important thing. Thanks again man I will definitely subscribe to your Channel. Keep making awesome videos. Your great at it.

[@KarlMeyer]

Thanks! I'm glad I could you found it helpful!

[@janred94]

Watching this because I wanna decide if I am going to buy the new Woojer Vest Edge. I had the M2x before but sold it. When you say this strap thing has like 1/2 the strength of the M2x... and the new transducers they use are advertised as 3x stronger (52mm transducer instead of 32mm)... And their Vest Edge uses 6 of those AND stereo input/output... for 299$ plus shipping on Indiegogo currently. Also they basically advertise through one of their pictures 1-500Hz. Will you get one?

[@BeardedKenyan]

How the hell do you have less than 1k subs? This was a wonderful review and have one on the way. Always good to know and prepare for the negatives so nice to hear some from someone who knows their shit.

[@DuabStrayzzz]

Their second-generation Woojer vest edge is out and I ordered one. Will be here in 2 weeks

[@BenVanLooy]

Can you review the new version please? 😯

[@ofek5365]

I'm not going to compare them.. 1 second later Comparing them the rest of the video Anyway, nice review

[@plamp]

Stereo for bass doesn't really make sense as it is usually summed to mono during production to keep it clean an powerful. Great review, thanks

[@danceempireaustraliadea5297]

Dude pretty clear why they would make an app. I hey want to see the Data, how many people using how often at what settings etc. etc. They want to go to the doctor so they can see where they can improve on

[@baroquedub]

Would agree with other comments about it being underwhelming and not really worth recommending. For me the deal breaker was the latency you get when used via Bluetooth. I specifically wanted to use it with my phone, connecting to both a Bluetooth speaker and the Woojer (a usecase they said would be possible on the Kickstarter page). Problem is the delay between the two Bluetooth devices is too great. The Woojer is noticeably later than the speaker audio. This isn't just the delay in the bass (wired there's no such problem). I have a subpac which I much prefer for full VR but the one place I've found the Woojer strap useful is when traveling with an Oculus Go. Lying in bed watching a film, I place the strap on my chest (wired with throughput to headphones) for a DIY IMAX experience :)

[@omnipotentgoku]

Hey this was a great review. Definitely saved me some cash. Hurry up and get that KZbin money so you can buy the backpack and review it

[@DuabStrayzzz]

Keep making content man I enjoy the stuff

[@gotahave]

I don't have one of these devices but on your "why have an app". I suprised at you. What if the person wants to wear it under a jacket of sweater over the device. Then how does he increase or decrease the feeling of the base. Thus the app. Got it ? Good!

[@jordanmichael4228]

Can’t wait for your Woojer vest review !

[@patrikkeusch7343]

very good review thank you. Very professionell, good quality

[@ZstormVR]

By far the highest quality youtuber with the lowest amount of subscribers. Keep this up and you will go incredible places on youtube my friend. Super super high quality.

[@KarlMeyer]

Thanks!

[@jetbot33]

Thanks for the honest review man

[@Tobeon2]

Thank you for your practical & in-depth review!!

[@walnutz917]

The app is prob used for stealth use . under a shirt or jacket when you don't have access to the buttons

[@TalkinKush]

Just backed the strap edge series. Super excited to try the 2.0 Version

[@AussieAdventurer]

Hi Can you clarify for me something please I also backed both the strap and tbe vest- my question is, is the strap that is currently sold via Indigogo the updated version of the strap in this review? 🤷‍♂️ I know the Vest is the updated version being now totally wireless as compared to the abundance of wires in the older vest- Anyway i hope and think it is going to be a great experience with either the strap or the Edge Vest as i want to use them for watching movies with the recently launched Cinera Edge Pro HMD 🤩

[@futvnyc]

If the buttons break its cool having a app to change the buttons.

[@ClearHeatVision]

Really thorough review, Karl! Thank you!

[@xxvodanhxx]

I have to say Woojer customer support has been phenominal. They go above and beyond to handle any issues that you may have and provide the help that you need, and for me, its been above and beyond any other customer support i've had for any product.

[@KarlMeyer]

I've never had any big issues, so that's good to know!

[@ryananderson5202]

Bots and mods in the comments supporting the product. That's chineese capitalism

[@BlissImagine]

OK I just watched your video 'cause I'm thinking about purchasing this from my sons. I'm wondering two years on is there anything now that you could recommend where you can feel the bass? Both of my sons are huge gamers but my other son loves music specially while he's working. So would you please recommend something:...thanks for any help you can give me..

[@KarlMeyer]

Right now the best option that I’ve tried is the woojer vest edge. Games and music both work wonderfully.

[@razbakar7889]

Honest, candid and brave reviews are few and far between: I thank you for yours, sir! I was interested in the Strap to attach to my Oculus Quest 2 unit but when I heard you said: 'They downmixed the sound to MONO...(!!)' you got me off the whole idea. The initial issue I heard was sync delays. Nevertheless.. all good! Thank you!

[@CameronKalegi]

Huge miss on the mono mix down! Completely agree a stereo experience would have been a strong subpac differentiator. Wonderful review overall, your production quality is really on point! Side note - Two products that seem up your alley for future videos: Smith Optics Lowdown Focus & The Basslet. Keep up the great work

[@KarlMeyer]

Thanks!

[@michacolumbus]

Really enjoyed the review 👍🏻

[@nightchild4256]

I'm too lazy to go through your video catalog. Your statement at :30 seconds in was you were doing a comparison video. Did you forget to link it in this video or has the link broken after 3 years?

[@KarlMeyer]

This one took way longer than I thought it would. I hope you found it useful!

[@KcLee677]

Actually l'll use a stool for gaming and it's work well. Kinda feel free to have something poke me. Sold.

[@jonnyd8399]

I know this was from 3 years ago, are there any updates or changes in the tech? Do you have another wearable transducer suggestion that wont break the bank? The strap is currently $99 for refurbished condition. Actually, I can solder and sew, what is the desired frequency range, make I can make my own....

[@patrickmccrank8414]

How about a link for the sub pac you mentioned several times.

[@1987FX16]

Not one bad comment on woojers KZbin videos. Almost like they are deleting the negative comments and reviews.

[@jacobkercher9648]

It overheats, distorts headphones, doesn't stay on your chest, doesn't sync with headphones bass, has tiny battery life, constantly have to restart it. There is absolutely nothing that works on this entire device. The website filters out any negative reviews and tells you the average is 4.8 stars. Im pissed

[@sebaqw]

Great video and editing! You have amazing skills and you have a promising futute. Grets quality video!

[@jack40734]

Where are you guys getting these? They are all on 'pre-order' only? Which suggests that they haven't even gone into production yet?

[@Psyniigianni]

You can also wear it over your shoulder coming across your chest, problem solved. Hopefully the edge will be better. I had their first model.

[@TheLillianYoung]

PsyniiGianni Scott In the beginning he concluded that you can’t because it slips. That’s his experience anyway.

[@MarvArthurFord]

Excellent review. Thank you! This was really informative and to the point. Best review I've seen for this. You've really helped save me from purchasing, as I couldn't find much info and have been debating taking the plunge or not. Based on the details you highlighted here I would have been a bit disappointed on balance so have decided against it. +1 subscription from me!

[@BeachNative78]

I love your reviews and plus I think you’re SO CUTE! Totally subbed!

[@HypnogicianUK]

222 comments! I'm 223, I'll just say I'm deaf! I used an app on my phone to control the sound on my hearing aids so there is less buttons! I've just ordered this, I'll let you how I feel about it from a deaf professional magician/hypnotist perspective 🙏

[@phillipallen3468]

As of 8/16/20, the company website is selling the strap for $130. See Meyer's link. It'll take you right there.

[@TrevorJones1]

i can think of 1 and only one reason the app is useful. If im in public and dont want to be suspiciosly fiddling with my belt like batman I might prefer to control it with the app. or if im on a packed bus or subway train ot would be hard to get to the controls but you probably have your phone in you hands so..

[@gunnerman1880]

Can get for just over £100 was wondering to get or not but I think you've made my mind up so maybe wait for v2

[@kimbo4850]

But what does the product do? I don't understand what it is haha, does it vibrate with the music or something?

[@jesserivera2890]

boi this is back in 2018 and nothing popped up in 2022 xD what have you been doing my g?

[@KarlMeyer]

I ded

[@Zzues]

Excellent review, thanks.

[@187nellybelly]

Awesome review (way more detailed than Unbox Therapy) I have a dirt cheap alternative Skullcandy Crusher Headphones wired are $37 on amazon and they vibrate a lot when there is bass!

[@bertwets]

Hi thank you for the info and the video, just bought one.I will see when i recieve it.For what the app i think it could be useful when you are wearing it beneath the jacket or jersey.So you can change volume or vibration without taking of jacked ..mmm i suppose any way thank you for the info!!

[@NemorisInferioris]

Great review! You deserve more subscribers

[@fmadrid91]

Can you test it out on the PS five? Can you test it out on the AirPods Pro?

[@tcpiptv]

Great review. Thanks for your effort.

[@christofferravn4486]

[@organicmusicspace]

I bought one. Good idea but not good for music. Maybe good for explosions only.

i just still haven't found someone explain what it feels like what does it fukin do?

[@slon5634]

Fantastic video! 👏

[@peterl.104]

Can she put the battery pack in the front and the subwoofer on the back?

[@necrago]

Guess I'll have to wait for that comparison. EDIT: Still waiting.

[@nikandluketravel]

Rear battery back is an instant turn off.

[@andreamarchisi3260]

Low frequencies have no direction for us, so have no sense to have a stereo low frequencies. That's why it not important where you put your subwoofer.

[@norvarg712]

Review the strap 3 please

[@qfina]

Woojer themselves advertise this diagonally across the chest, presumably because horizontal looks like some sort of medical apparatus.

[@supremeguy2859]

Please keep making videos !

[@Fall508River]

Do I really have to download the app to use the device??

[@LippyArt]

Hi, Can it be used with Bluetooth headphones?

[@AVIRUPDHAWA]

Hi, looking forward to woojer vest edge review.

[@giavanti0003]

What if the button stops working? Hey! There's an app for that!

[@ermiegray9979]

Does it work on Blue tooth

[@natannatan319]

I ordered the new Woojer Edge that's on their kickstarter. wondering weather it;s even worth it now that I saw this review, as it down mixes the stereo into mono.

[@zackbapty]

For what it's worth, I am pretty sure the audio in the headphones will still be stereo, it's just the bass vibrations that will be mono. There's no reason for them to turn a stereo signal into mono for that

[@christianvilla7647]

Great Review!

[@derekhudson3415]

You're doing it wrong. Strap it straight to the dome baby! }_{

[@damrongrid]

Wow! You saved me !

[@Lu-cho]

3 years ago On sale $150 Today black Friday $150. Just a vibrating THING???? woow. Nothing spectacular here.

[@benjamincrocker9440]

How or what is it

[@eriksmith2703]

Any way to demo somewhere?

[@Red23UK]

Can't it be worn diagonally, like a seat belt?

[@umloiro3219]

Yea

[@nora26knation45]

What if you want to listen to music?

[@TastyZoidberg]

Might fit for women with smaller chest, as you say. Or slimmer waist.

[@ian71x96]

Hmmm, interesting. I've just received my Woojer Strap, and honestly... I've been fooled by advertising again. I've operated easier Go-Pro cameras than this. Sure it vibrates... to sound, but I'm disappointed to say the least. Thinking it would vibrate to prominent beats. When playing Green Day, it vibrates to something but I'm damn sure it's not to the beats of the music. I'm glad I didn't fork out for the ridiculous £375 - £499 Vest.

[@theycallmedday1645]

I paid 120$ for the edge strap 😉 early bird/contribution price

[@Pyrish]

How is it? Do you have the same feedback as this video, or have some of these issues been addressed?

[@timeless3d858]

More demonstrations from Alaina please

[@alexandresavardo]

Has anyone tried this for classical music? Does it change anything at all in that department? Or is it just worth it for loud techno beats or such?

[@KarlMeyer]

It would only work well for music that frequency’s below 150-100hz. So bass, tuba and drums might come through but that’s it. Probably not worth using for classical

[@Gaming-Legends007]

Better off buying an interactor, same thing made in the 1990,s larger no Bluetooth but very cheap, around $30

[@ladislavkral2063]

Very good review i have same opinion like you. But 1 thing i could say if you expect very much from a woojer strap you will be dissapointed. As Karl sayd .Its the cheapest way of this technology so its (good) that means 3of5 stars. I was expecting so much from woojer strap and I can´t say im dissapointed but aswell not surprised very much. Anyway your Reviews are perfect if i go for something (new) like this product I will check your review first keep going Karl .

[@theone614777]

It cost $124.95 on amazon. 50% off
