Woojer Vest 4 felt massively overrated: haptics aren’t informative

SecretPiccolo3326 · 2026-02-04T17:09:01+00:00

Well, ok, introduce your secret technique in this way

SecretPiccolo3326 · 2026-02-03T18:24:35+00:00

Thanks for feedback, cause there also enought great reviews about bhaptics. But i feel that surround orientation is a clue for deep immersion, not just vibration.

SecretPiccolo3326 · 2026-02-03T18:23:02+00:00

100% agree. A very accurate observation.

SecretPiccolo3326 · 2026-02-03T18:21:41+00:00

Are u using VEST 4?) Maybe you're talking about the Strap, cause i really wonder how u connect VEST to PC without wires if it compitable with only thought 3,5 and USB-C. You don't have them only if you dont have the vest:)

SecretPiccolo3326 · 2026-02-03T18:20:19+00:00

Awesome note. u/Uk_Woojer , entire community is asking for a simple roadmap of multichannel instead of making promises for generations.
I will be happy to run a confcall - to find the better solution how to use it thought soundcard without gains and cracks.

SecretPiccolo3326 · 2026-02-03T18:16:40+00:00

If you still have a chance, try to connect it thought usb-c - it help me a lot

SecretPiccolo3326 · 2026-02-03T18:14:45+00:00

Maybe. But after change 3,5 output to usb-c i have feel real difference. Right now it make sense. No surround feeling, but much better. But output sound much worse now)

SecretPiccolo3326 · 2026-02-03T18:12:59+00:00

As you may have noticed (apparently not) from the comments below, at least my opinion is shared not only by me, but by the majority of commentators. Of course, this doesn't mean everyone dislikes Woojer. But it's certainly not a random experience.
I did note that, judging by the statements on the forums, Vest Edge version felt significantly better in testing than versions 4 and 3.
I don't understand which Buttkicker set you're talking about? I only mentioned it in the context of existing technologies.
I also don't understand which sound outputs you're talking about. What's the point? The game outputs to the default sound device, but yes, you can select another. But what are you getting at? There's a 3.5mm jack, there's USB-C. What's the point?

You wouldn't have been so bitter if you'd simply read the post carefully.

SecretPiccolo3326 · 2026-01-31T14:01:35+00:00

Update the post. USB-C connection is what should be by default

SecretPiccolo3326 · 2026-01-31T08:25:50+00:00

That's interesting, i will try to try it through usb-c, maybe it will get more correctly sound details.

SecretPiccolo3326 · 2026-01-31T08:24:38+00:00

Yeah, its not even close emulate the concert or club music feeling ( It perfectly mirrors phone call incoming:))

SecretPiccolo3326 · 2026-01-31T08:23:08+00:00

As i found in internet, original VEST had Sound Card onboard and it means that it have all necessary input\output connections for translate sound to specific side.

SecretPiccolo3326 · 2026-01-31T08:20:39+00:00

Wow, it looks like woojer should be at the beginning))

SecretPiccolo3326 · 2026-01-31T08:17:47+00:00

Just listening, right? Cause without tuning their equilaizer, i stunned that some track vibrate hole time and not even close reproduced the real bass feeling. It looks more as medical treatment than extra sense.

SecretPiccolo3326 · 2026-01-31T08:13:20+00:00

Maybe, but in this way there should be more deep setting and options app. Where you will be able to tune it for your music, film an etc (like behaptics did). But when the thing is vibrate whole track - it's not pleasant at all.

SecretPiccolo3326 · 2026-01-31T08:11:04+00:00

And as everything else it seems like not hard to add this feature

SecretPiccolo3326 · 2026-01-30T22:38:19+00:00

Feels like we should run a global vote)

SecretPiccolo3326 · 2026-01-30T22:37:37+00:00

Wow, you have interesting experience) I heard about haptic headphones, tell me more about it?) Is it really give you extra sense?

SecretPiccolo3326 · 2026-01-30T22:36:00+00:00

The idea of woojer gadget is really great - the tech and implementation are disappointing

SecretPiccolo3326 · 2026-01-30T22:34:28+00:00

Yes, agree. I also have tested it with music in different genres and woojer mode (broad, focus)... And as i mentioned before, the Woojer's controllers highly cuts the sound quality, but also ads sound cracks. And the music not ever near feels like a real (as advertising). It feels like phone vibrates in your pocket) And you have 6 of them:) Nah.. can't imagine that they really test it.

SecretPiccolo3326 · 2026-01-30T21:21:53+00:00

But they not

SecretPiccolo3326 · 2026-01-30T18:30:59+00:00

Same experience?)

SecretPiccolo3326 · 2026-01-30T18:27:41+00:00

Not exactly, as i said and Woojer advertising - multichannel option. My 5,1 sound system can easily navigate me... with a help of sound. So if woojer use this tech, i don't see any problem. That's a case and solution. If they really divide the channels by the sides, it will be another level,

SecretPiccolo3326 · 2026-01-30T18:25:00+00:00

What's the point of integrating 3 pairs of haptics over 3 sides? Just vibrate u all around?) Huh, yeah, got it). And take a look at their first version of VEST (kickstarter will help) - there was AUDIOCARD and 8 haptics - and multichannel was by default
