BST-300EX, 300 Watts RMS,Tactile Bass Shaker, 4 Ohms Impedance - Turn Any Surface into a Speaker System - Generates Subwoofer Lows

Update: 12-14-25 I am now on my third computer chair, and this thing is still rocking. My latest setup has a surround speaker mounted to the back of the chair and it reflects off the wall and back to my ears. Works perfect. I did end up upgrading the amp to the Fosi Audio M01-BT Bluetooth 5.0 300 Watt Subwoofer Amplifier and it drives this much better than my smaller amp. Original Review: My goal with this setup was to build a immersive bass system I could use with my Sony V-6 headphones and not bother anybody else in the room. So I purchased the Dayton BST-1 50 Watt and paired it with the Fosi Audio MO4 Sub amp that was rated at 100 watts. It did "ok" but would get unbelievably hot to the point of not being able to even touch it after only playing some good bass music for about 1/2 hour. Amazon was gracious enough to let me send it back. So I was looking for a replacement and walla, this beautiful thing had just been released. And the first reviewer was having the "exact same problem" as I was. I was a bit nervous as I did not know if the Fosi M04 had the beans to push this big boy. So I got to doing some research and found an amazing article that talked about the chip that they used in the Fosi M04 amp and how amazing it was, and if I wanted the most out of it, I needed a good 24v 5amp or better power supply as the one that comes with it is only 19 volts and is a cheapie. So I got to looking and found the Shnitpwer 24v 10amp power supply and ordered that too. Got it all on the same day and went to work bolting it to my "gaming chair" : ) To say I was blown away would be an understatement! I simply did not realize how under powered the BST-1 really was until running this for the first time. I could tell immediately, the quality of bass was not only much more powerful, but way more defined. Sub 30hz lows were really lost on the BST-1 but on this bad boy it came out powerful and clear. So I decided to test how many beans this setup really had and found a very nice track, POWER GLOVE @ DIGITAL MIRAGE 3 on Youtube and let it ride. If you like 80's retro techno and like bass, this will be a real treat. This is a hard hitting track that last 30 minutes. I figured, if anything was going to show it's limits, this would do it. 30 minutes of intense music later, the BST-300EX was not even fazed and was still cool to the touch. The new 24v 10 amp power supply didn't have any issues at all and the Fosi Amp was cool and happy. If your even considering getting a quality bass shaker for your setup, I would not even look at the BST-1. For the small difference in price, this is simply a no brainer. The Fosi M04 Sub amp was more than enough to run this on my setup, but keep in mind that I'm running a pre-amped ASUS XONAR SE sound card with a boosted output of 64ohms. I think that if I was just running normal outputs, this would not be able to push the BST-300EX to it's potential, as you would need more juice to make it, "or you" happy. Fosi makes a 220 watt amp, the Fosi Audio TP-02 TDA7498E that should do the job quite nicely. Over all, this is a impressive shaker and paired with the above mentioned extra's, it really pounds. I would be hard pressed to go back to just using my headphones by themselves again. The immersiveness that this thing brings to the table is unbelievable. Using this with games like Starwars Jedi Survivor is simply next level, and makes you feel like your really in the game. And all this while my wife sits across the room doing her own thing, and not being bothered by my "going on's" is worth every penny.

I didn't want a huge investment or anything complicated. Booty shaker was too expensive. Two of these plus the 600w amp was around $350 all in. Not bad for the added realism. I route my PSVR2 to a small 2-channel mixer then back to the attached earphones (PS channel 1, Bluetooth audio channel 2) so I can jam Spotify like a radio through my phone when playing games and adjust the volume of either input. I took a 3.5mm to RCA to feed the 600w amp, and output to two of these with banana plugs attached to the chair. I tested these with a snare drum stand. Liked the results so I hooked two of these up to my sim racing chair with nano tape and velcro. One to the back and one to the butt. These things make games a million times more immersive and will shake you to kingdom come. I power them both with the Fosi 600w amp. Another reviewer said he can't play games without this. I can totally understand why. Wow wow wow just be warned, there's no going back after you experience this. You've been warned. Update: These have changed my life. I daydream at work all day about getting home. Immersive is an understatement. I've added two 50W shakers under the pedals. I run these through a mixer and split the signal between the PSVR2 and the shakers independently. All 4 shakers (two 50W and two 300W) receive signal from a 600w amp and are distributed through a 4-way switch with amp in. Since there's 4 pairs of outputs that can all be used simultaneously, I plan to add another pair of 300w shakers and maybe some speakers for added realism.

I have the BST-300 on my sim rig. Mounted to the seat back. It works great. I paired it up with a 300w Fosi mini amp. Works exactly how it should. I would highly recommend it for haptic feedback on your rig. The price is great for the quality.

This thing rocks. I paired it with a TB10D and screwed it right to the back of my chair. Set it up in Voicemeeter Potato, applied a low pass filter, and even on 50% volume this thing shakes the hell out of you. Setting up is fairly easy. Plug the amp into your sound card, screw the shaker to your surface, set up voicemeeter, apply a low pass filter, and you're good to go. The thing is built like a brick shithouse. My only concern is depth of screws into the substrate and thats a me problem, not a problem with the product. This setup cost me $180 all together. Freyja is $300. This is a clear winner on both price and performance.

So Iv owned a few of the smaller, Dayton BST-1 shakers for a while (& love them), I decided to try this larger model using a mini amp that output about 100-125watts RMS at 4 ohms and wasn't very impressed. I then added the smaller BST-1 to the same amp, mostly to drop the ohms (to 2ohms) to try to get more power, I tried using channel/s from my main Yamaha home theater receiver and I could feel it but again, for the price wasn't impressed. Iv ran two BST-1 on my SIM rig with a mini amp and they shake like crazy, but once I bit the bullet and got a more powerful amp closer to 300watts RMS it woke the BST-300EX up considerably. Since I have two BST-1 on a MUCH less powerful mini amp I can say I wonder if I could have gotten similar results with two of the smaller BST-1, instead of one BST-300 and without the need for a more powerful amp but I think the 300EX handles the super SUPER low notes better. Its a good product and is clearly rated for 300w RMS so I cant knock it, (BTW If your new to transducers/bass shakers/but kickers I suggest reading how & how NOT to mount them, its usually very simple lol). I have them under my home theater couch and mounted to my sim rig and they're a game changer. Have fun!

Fantastic upgrade

Super works perfect

Rated it a 5 because if you want a bass shaker, you will love it. It sounds like an airplane close distance from above the house -- very annoying. It's in a room at the back of the house and you can hear the rumbling all the way in the front of the house, as well as in the apartment beneath us ,and if we had a tenant above us, it would annoy them too. If you want to drive co-tenants crazy, this will surely do the job. If you want a rumbling shaker sound for whatever your reasons may be, this will surely do the job.

This thing shakes!!!! It’s way more clean then I expected, and is able to fill in the subsonic bass that is missing from standard subwoofers

BST‑300EX を実際に使用してみました。確かに持続的な低周波には強く、地鳴り系の重低音やエンジンの唸りのような連続振動はしっかり体感できます。しかし、期待していたような パルシブ（瞬間的）な低音のアタックには追従できません。 音楽ソースの体感としては 80Hzあたりのウッドベースが限界で、それも開放弦の60Hzになるとかなり厳しく、50Hz以下のバスドラムのような瞬間的なキックはまったく再現できません。構造的にストローク量重視の“重いタクタイル”なので、瞬発力よりも持続力に振った設計なのだと思います。 「低周波の震えを強く感じたい人（開放弦不可）」「SF映画の効果音的重低音」には向いていますが、 「キックのアタックを体で感じたい人」「風のような軽低音を体感したい人」には向きません。 用途が合えば優秀ですが、パルシブな低音を求める場合は別の選択肢（高性能なサブウーファー）を検討した方が良いと感じました。

Très bonne qualité, utilisé pour mettre sous un siège de simulateur d'avion de combat (DCS), en fonction bass Shaker il est un peu trop puissant, à refaire je prendrai la taille au dessous.

Fantastic shaker would highly recommend very usefull for people who live in flats and can not use subwoofers.
