We’ve seen weird gadgets, fancy wearables, and unbelievable designs all this long, but how far can one go with ? Apparently, to pretty out-of-the-box levels if you live in a world where using such audio gear is a normal affair. Created by a DIYer who goes by the alias name Pud Makes Headphones on Instagram, this project is a fascinating find for music lovers.
Pud has an uncanny knack for making headphones that a user like me would dare not touch because of all the bulk. That said, the creation is unique and brings back the charm of CD players to the current times, when wireless headphones, audio codecs, sleek design, and comfort are prioritized over everything else. The pair of cans (literally) is wireless (well, partly) as they are powered by a rechargeable battery pack, which supplies power to the CD player to function normally for an extended time. So, you can walk around the block with these chunky pair of headphones on, listening to music, and everyone giving you a second stare!
Designer:
The bulky frame of the headphones houses a multifunctional remote control, the CD player, a slot for placing the disk cases on the top, storage for 10 CDs in each can, the wire module, and a jewel case box. That adds a total weight of more than two pounds to the headphones without even placing the discs or CD spindle on the side. By the look of things, the CD frame is salvaged from a car’s audio player for one simple reason: it has the front-loading mechanism. These headphones will last for some hours on a single full recharge of the batteries, so you can go around the town showing them off. The CD player’s insert disk section is positioned in front for easy accessibility. The unit looks hardcore, and only for audiophiles who listen to music at high volumes, since the speakers are embedded into the cans.
A strap keeps the rig firmly in place over the head, and I’m sure you are bound to get headphone hair from these in just a couple of hours. There is an adjuster to fit any head size, still the thing looks too bulky for sensitive users like me who suffer from headphone clamping force, even with the most comfortable pair. Even fighter jet pilots or Formula 1 drivers, who have very strong necks, will feel this one to be intrusive. In fact, Pud himself has worn them for no more than 30 minutes in one go. Perhaps he can go a step further and get a vertical turntable and mount it on the chest with linear dampeners, so that it doesn’t move too much. Or maybe get a chin strap to secure the thing in place. That said, jogging with these on is certainly not advisable!
