When you sit down on a massage chair, close your eyes and prepare to truly relax, the moment the music starts often determines whether you can fully "enter the zone." Research shows that high-quality surround sound effectively activates the parasympathetic nervous system, helping the brain transition from a tense "fight mode" to a state of deep relaxation. This is precisely why OSIM has invested in and innovated audio systems for our massage chairs over the past decades — evolving from early Bluetooth speakers and surround sound systems, all the way to our latest collaboration with French premium audio brand Devialet.

Why Audio Quality Matters for True Relaxation

Modern neuroscience research indicates that genuine relaxation cannot be achieved through muscle relief alone — the auditory experience is equally crucial in activating the parasympathetic nervous system. When audio quality is insufficient, such as thin tones or lacking bass, the brain struggles to fully immerse itself in a relaxed state, significantly reducing the soothing effects of the massage. This is why OSIM has continued investing in audio technology for years — because a massage chair that truly allows you to leave behind daily stress must synchronise auditory and tactile sensations, guiding users into a deep state of wellness.

The Evolution of OSIM Massage Chair Audio

While early massage chairs were equipped with audio systems, the sound was one-directional with limited bass — not enough for modern urban users seeking the ultimate relaxation experience. From introducing surround sound to theatre-grade immersive audio, every OSIM audio upgrade aims to make at-home stress relief deeper, more therapeutic, and closer to truly "immersive."

2000s	Built-in audio devices were introduced to massage chairs, opening up the possibility of "audio × massage" integration
2010s	Surround sound was introduced — sound shifted from one-directional to enveloping users from all sides
2020s	Upgraded to 3D stereo sound for more realistic spatial perception, marking the first integration of 5-senses synergy
2025	uDream.AI partners with French premium audio brand Devialet, combining world-class acoustic engineering with patented SAM® technology to redefine immersive home acoustic therapy

OSIM x Devialet: Bringing French Premium Audio Into Your Home

While most massage chairs in the market still settle for basic stereo output, OSIM chose a completely different path — we don't just upgrade audio, we fundamentally rethink the possibilities of home acoustic therapy. That's why, on our latest flagship OSIM uDream.AI, we partnered with French premium audio brand Devialet — a globally renowned name for theatre-grade and high-end home audio — to bring acoustic experiences once exclusive to professional audio-visual spaces into your private wellness sanctuary.

Patented SAM® Technology: Sound That Physically Embraces You

Devialet's patented SAM® (Speaker Active Matching) technology is the soul of OSIM uDream.AI's audio system. This technology fine-tunes audio signals in real-time, delivering clarity and precision that faithfully reproduces the original sound for a pure and full listening experience.

More importantly, the rich, powerful bass delivered by SAM® technology can "embrace" your body through sound during massage programs. Low-frequency sound waves resonate through the air and your body, working in synergy with the massage movements to help your brain enter deep relaxation faster. This is why OSIM uDream.AI doesn't just let you listen to music — it lets you feel wrapped in it.

FAQ

Why do massage chairs need high-quality audio?

Research shows that high-quality audio effectively activates the parasympathetic nervous system, helping the brain transition from a tense state to deep relaxation. When audio quality is insufficient, the brain struggles to fully immerse in a relaxed state, significantly reducing the stress-relief effects of the massage. Only when auditory and tactile experiences work in sync can true wellness be achieved.

What is Devialet, and why did OSIM choose to partner with them?

Devialet is a premium French audio brand globally renowned for crafting theatre-grade and high-end home audio systems, widely regarded as the pinnacle of modern acoustic engineering. OSIM chose to partner with Devialet to bring acoustic experiences once exclusive to professional audio-visual spaces into the home wellness setting — delivering unprecedented immersive therapy for users.

What is SAM® technology and how does it benefit users?

SAM® (Speaker Active Matching) is Devialet's patented technology that fine-tunes audio signals in real-time, achieving original-sound reproduction with exceptional clarity and precision. For users, the rich bass delivered by SAM® technology resonates with the body through sound waves, synergising with massage movements to help the brain enter deep relaxation faster.

Is OSIM uDream.AI suitable for use as a home audio-visual device?

Absolutely! OSIM uDream.AI features Devialet speakers and patented SAM® technology, providing theatre-grade immersive audio. Whether listening to music, watching movies, streaming series, or playing white noise for sleep, you can enjoy high-fidelity audio. Its home aesthetic design also makes it an art piece in living rooms or rest areas.

How does the audio of OSIM uDream.AI compare with the previous uDream Pro?

uDream Pro already features 3D theatre-grade audio with powerful surround effects. The latest OSIM uDream.AI builds on this foundation by partnering with French premium audio brand Devialet, integrating world-class acoustic engineering with patented SAM® technology. Simply put, OSIM uDream.AI elevates the audio experience from "home theatre-grade" to "professional theatre-grade," delivering even deeper immersive wellness.

Does music therapy help with sleep?

Yes. Research shows that soft music — particularly classical music and nature sounds — can stimulate melatonin secretion, lower heart rate and blood pressure, and effectively aid sleep onset. OSIM uDream.AI combines Devialet high-fidelity audio with the built-in "Sleep Dream Program," providing ASMR whispers and sleep-inducing sound frequencies to create a premium sleep aid experience.

What type of music is best for playing on OSIM uDream.AI?

OSIM uDream.AI paired with Devialet high-fidelity audio is suitable for nearly all music genres. For relaxation and stress relief, we recommend classical music, lo-fi, jazz, white noise, or nature sounds (like rain or ocean waves) — these effectively activate the parasympathetic nervous system. To experience the bass impact of SAM® technology, try movie soundtracks, electronic music, or live performance recordings to feel sound waves transmitted from the chair throughout your body.

Can OSIM uDream.AI connect to a phone for music playback?

Absolutely. OSIM uDream.AI supports Bluetooth connectivity, allowing you to wirelessly stream music from your phone, tablet, or computer via platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, or YouTube Music. It also includes built-in proprietary wellness music and ASMR sleep audio that play automatically with massage programs — no manual switching required.

Hong Kong homes are small — is OSIM uDream.AI suitable for compact apartments?

OSIM uDream.AI features a thoughtfully designed compact structure, making it more space-efficient than traditional massage chairs and especially suitable for small to medium-sized Hong Kong apartments. Recommended placement includes a corner of the living room, study, or rest area beside the master bedroom. Even in limited spaces, simply leaving about 10cm of clearance behind and 80cm in front is enough to enjoy the complete massage experience.

Will the audio from OSIM uDream.AI disturb family members or neighbours?

No. OSIM uDream.AI's audio system uses precision soundstage design, focusing sound primarily around the user's head and shoulders to create a "personal acoustic space." Even at higher volumes, sound doesn't disperse outward like traditional speakers. Given Hong Kong's dense residential environment, this design lets you enjoy the immersive music experience to the fullest — without disturbing family members or neighbours.
