Headphones at 5Hz?

Post by ManFromGlass »

So Sony says their MDR-M1 headphones can reproduce 5Hz.
What the heck would that sound like? A slow clicking? A sensation as opposed to a sound?
I’m assuming that’s not the frequency that crowd control sound cannons use to cause bowel evacuation.

Be careful if your nose starts to run while listening to 5 Hz on cans - it may be liquid brain leakage! :o

I think listening to music at 5Hz might be the ultimate hipster claim... ;)

A single cycle of 5Hz must be quite long. How would it fit in such small earcups . . . . . ?
