Composed of 重(じゅう) (heavy, deep) + 低音(ていおん) (low sound, bass). This word emphasizes the physicality and weight of deep bass frequencies — not just low pitch but the kind of resonant, chest-thumping sound you can feel in your body.

Frequently used in product descriptions for audio equipment (headphones, speakers, subwoofers) and in music discussions, especially for genres like hip-hop, EDM, and club music.
