So stoked you checked these out! Our Open-backs are a little less BOOMY.😂 You aren't the only one who didn't like the cable so we updated it! Cheers! Edit: there's an update in our Shorts 🩳
i feel like the biggest thing here is repairability, if you drop them and something snaps you just reprint it. if you want a different color your reprint it, if a port breaks you just replace the port, speaker pops you can replace it so on and so forth. i really like this honestly
Yeah, with these you could even frankenstein other head phone drivers and adapt them to fit. You could have a rack of the gods where all the gods share the same face, it'd be great.
Crazy thing is a pretty big portion of that improvement is slicing software and better filament manufacturers. The machines themselves haven't changed that much outside of getting cheaper and having more options.
Damn $130 for the parts alone is steep, but the fact they give you the files for free is amazing, I would expect them "free" bundled with the hardware.
@@klasztornik847 I've used my buddies kraken and tbh they were very uncomfortable and just tbh not great. Myself I've had Logitech G pro X wireless for 2 years and I've enjoyed them but they were 250 USD when I bought them
Forcing companies to provide schematics and/or CAD files for their products would be huge for right to repair. If you break some dumb plastic bit you can just make another yourself at home or at your local library.
Imagine making several pairs of 3D printed dirty buds just so *_they can be sacrificed to the audio gods via Maraca Cracker 9000_* Disclaimer: I do understand that in theory this is a terrible idea as making x amount of dirty buds Will lead to unnecessary waste of time, electronics, and general e-waste. *_I, however, love chaos._*
Sadly you can't exactly print electronics. At least not the kind needed for earpods. There are experimental machines capable of laying a single, thin wire into printed material, but that's only good for antennas and rudamentary circuits
So in terms of 3d printing modifying those headphones, there is already an upgrade to turn them into open back headphones if that's your thing. And they look incredibly cool.
@@Fishy_Gal I have seen some really squishy filaments online, although the only flexible one I have is still rather stiff and would definitely not be good for the ears but would be perfectly fine for the head band
Hi! avid 3d printer here. TPU is a really good material for that application its a rubbery thermo plastic that can make soft parts i will try some ear cups! @@SergioEduP
I’ve made a few pairs of these, and can confirm that they have a printable version of the headband strap in the latest release. I may try and print one out of TPU for the next pair I build! No file for the cushions though. It’s certainly possible to design and print a cushion, but I don’t think that would be terribly comfortable, even with a very soft TPU filament.
He never fails to surprise me with his video ideas. Like, we started with fixing iPods, then to moding iPods, then to tech reviews and now this, I'm not complaining tho!
Man, even back when I was in high school a few years ago 3D printing was really just limited to modeling, prototyping and novelties like your Shrek. It's amazing that you can now make genuine bespoke products with those doodads now
Ok, I'm not even kidding when I say this. I just finished making mine and was testing them when this video came out. So far, they're pretty good. I got the 50mm drivers and apart from a not too great upper end, they are pretty good. For 150 US(including shipping) plus material cost, not a bad set of headphones.
I got to try these at LTX. They are genuinely nice people who make something in the headphone space I have not seen. It's making something on a 3D printer that is a more practical project that is still fun. Fully customized headphones that are more or less user fixable. Their most expensive drivers are right up there in terms of quality with those $200-250ish US headphones, Plus if you make them open backs you can do hole pattern designs if you wanted to. The other thing that kind of blew me away was they have a headphone mock up page and you just get a typical color wheel and whatever colors you decide on it will then show you the closest filament match to those colors and links to buy them.
Dank the fact you mentioned Slam by Pendulum just makes me love this channel even more I have used that as my alarm for years because the bass literally rattles me awake
These things are great, I’ve printed two pairs so far, and will likely build more for the fun of it. They do have an open back version that is more balanced. My first pair of these was printed when the drivers were out of stock everywhere, so I used some 40mm planar drivers I already had. They need a powerful amp, but they sound pretty decent!
actually you can print the ear cups and the band at the top. there’s a type of flexible plastic that’s kinda like rubber called TPU that you can print with. you could even print some of the ports and other metal bits with metal filament 2:06
This would be a really cool platform for experimenting with can design; you could go into solidworks or something, make five different can shapes that are all compatible with the headamame kit, and see what they all sound like! Great for the aspiring electroacoustic engineer. In fact, I think I'm gonna go do that. Cheers
I had no idea about this, but it’s perfect for me! Definitely considering getting it because I was already looking into new headphones, and my 3D printer has been sitting still for a while
These are surprisingly good. And yeah, these are not audiophile headphones, but they aren't marketed for audiophiles, they're marketed for 3d printingphiles. If that's a word.
Some days I'm feeling super depressed and nothing is bringing me joy but then I see a dankpods video and my day is immediately and immeasurably improved. I appreciate this man's unmatched joy and positivity so much.
My best friends uncle actually makes 3d printed houses for a living no joke. He posts that shit all the time on FB. He is a huge drum enthusiast to the point where he also got a masters degree in music just for drumming so the beginning of this video really made me chuckle.
Hey dankie. I love the colour splash when listening to the audio of both headphones. Its always nice to have some change of warmth and pretty much emotion with the colours. Very soothing.
3D printed headphones? Never heard of something like that before but yeah I remembered 3D printing being kinda niche before and now is cool but I'm amazed how 3D printing is and imagine in the future if we get more advanced with it. Also those leather ear cups look ones you'd see on a razor headset.
The fact that this man got me into iPods and the first one i got (this week actually) had to be fixed through one of his methods shows how much of a cult this guy is leading.
I love this concept! I can see this being the next trend amongst gamers for customizable gaming hardware. Being able to build your PC, Keyboard, and now headphones… gotta love it
Absolutely love Pendulum. Can't wait to see them next year. Their entire live setup is interesting as hell but I love the drum setup they have with the triggers. Would be cool to see something like that on The Drum Thing at some point.
Honestly if I had a 3D printer, I am designing the headphones from the ground up. Sure, I know how to use software like Blender, so I do have some advantage... But the idea of making headphones as I want em to be, then getting the drivers and soldering the wires, that would be so much fun for me!
As someone who just loves dumb bass, I have many of the crushers, and with most my music (all pretty bass heavy) I just have it full crank. I just find it enjoyable lmao, but these 3d printed headphones look sick and sounded pretty nice
That company: "Here's our headset design for free! It's 3D Print compatabile :D" Also that company: "Now. If you want your headset to actually be useful to you, gimme *$200* for the innards that are completely average and not that clear."
This has been what's been holding me back from buying the kit, but they do allow you to buy the components from the kits as separate parts if you don't need them. Which brings the price down. If you've already got 11cm pads and a mini XLR cable, all you really need to buy is the drivers and the XLR sockets from them. And if you're handy with a soldering iron, just the drivers.
Id love to have customizeable headphones. If i were able to add bluetooth and a large battery pack into those with an audio jack!? itd be an absolute must have!
Remember the old anti-piracy messages? "You wouldn't download a car?" "You wouldn't download a house?" Yes, actually, I totally would. Thanks to 3D printing that's a reality. I'd like to see Wade and co. 3D print a Ferrari-inspired body and fit it to a $500 Falcon station wagon chassis for Garbage Time. They could totally do it too because we're living in the future. To get back on topic - although I wasn't there to begin with; I loved these headphones. The green pea-ness brings a lot of joy. It's fun to look at. How close of a match are these to Wade's stalwart iPhone 5c?
My sound system is a Yamaha RX-Y367 with 5 HDMI in ports, optical, component, and line in for devices. I have 2 Bose bookshelf Model 21s and a Bose center speaker. I got all of it used for maybe $300 altogether. Not very much bass, but just a very clean audio experience. I don’t dare crank it to max volume because it pushes so much power, it’ll blow the speakers or wake the neighborhood. Compared to what you’d spend for a proper soundbar setup for a television with Dolby atmos and the like, it’s a steal. I have it hooked up to my TV with my PS2 and PS3 systems hooked into it. If I want to listen to music, I send it over to my laptop through HDMI. I’ve gotten my laptop to put out some pretty high quality audio to it. It doesn’t take much to find old stereos for a bargain or old used Bose speakers (provided they’re not Acoustimass). My motto is if you want crisp and clear audio, go Bose. It holds up, even in vehicles with Bose systems. I’ve tried cranking the bass on some of them, and it sounds terrible. But when you tune them for clarity, it’s amazing
I am absolutely going to get a pair of these at some point! I've got an awesome black cherry colored filament that I'd love to make a pair of these out of!
my guy knows Chick Corea, im so happy. I found his music on my own cause I wanted more jazz in life and I was so sad when he passed. all love out to ya, Mr. Pods.
You can fix a microphonic cable by doing a little butterfly loop near the cup, tied with a zip tie. The vibrations can't travel through bends in the cable.
If you want the stinky bass the DT990's are your friends with some deep, deep earpads (they don't work as well on the DT770's so I've found). For the lulz headphones/DIY kicks - go find some SHARP HP-400H - 70's chrome plated silliness with 4 drivers (the DIY part will be replacing the capacitors/resistors - they sound heaps better after the crossovers have been fixed up).
Listening to this on my own pair of head(amame) v2 headphones and I love them. they are a great upgrade over the v1 and while the hardware kit is a bit pricey I managed to source my own bits and spent less than 100 usd for the parts for two of these and will be making a second set for my girlfriend too. Its a fantastic project for the DIYers, or if you just like things that are open source or user repairable.
