How do those tiny headphone drivers manage to create deep, powerful bass? On today’s episode, hosts Robert and Sarah explore the science behind low-frequency reproduction in miniature. From driver design and enclosure tricks to the role your ear canal plays, they’ll break down how headphones pull off the illusion of full-range sound. It’s not just magic—it’s smart engineering. Whether you’re a headphone junkie or just curious, you’ll never hear your favorite tracks the same way again.
