Here’s the magic: human ears are notoriously bad at hearing pure sine waves below 80 Hz. However, we are excellent at hearing the harmonics of those waves. If you have a bass guitar playing a low E (41 Hz), your ears might struggle to perceive that note on AirPods. But if you add harmonics at 82 Hz, 123 Hz, and 164 Hz, your brain reconstructs the missing fundamental. You feel the low E, even though the speaker never reproduced it.
Because RBass doesn't actually boost the sub-100 Hz region (it adds harmonics above it), the low end stays tight and separated. Your kick and bass can coexist without clashing.
