Trolling Dankpods with AliExpress Headphones

[@LinusTechTips]

Heads up: The Satyr 1 design by Capra Audio is a really fun project that can be printed and assembled in a weekend and will leave you with a very well regarded pair of headphones (when you follow their instructions and use the recommended materials, Capra Audio makes that very clear). We decided to use parts from AliExpress and no instructions to troll Dankpods. Check out the Satyr 1 by Capra Audio at their Cults3D page. cults3d.com/en/3d-model/gadget/satyr-1-headphones"

[@CammyFi]

You're goddamn right they're a capable set of high-quality headphones, Capra Audio is no joke.

[@PimpmasterMcGooby]

Great to hear a clarification on this! I hope you get the chance to do a video in the future, showing off a bunch of properly assembled DIY headphone designs and how they perform against each other and consumer products. Featuring designs built to spec from the likes of Capra Audio and head(amame). I think that would be an interesting video, also showing how DIY can offer strong performance for the price.

[@sidesaladaudio]

Happy to see this note up. It's always great to see when good projects in the community get some recognition, especially when they do offer great value and a fun project that is rewarding to do.

[@FlameSwordedLink]

Happy to see the note, hopefully people notice it too!

[@vishalkalicharan7710]

Timpods is Australian?!

[@DankPods]

It was an honour and a privilege to be jet lagged and incoherent on a channel I’ve been watching since 2016! I had to do my best to not geek out anytime I recognised anything 👀 Everyone from LMG was killer, the organisation was seamless and it was genuine fun to play with audio nonsense with youse. Also Canada was cold. Thanks for having me! (The lack of sausage rolls in Canada is upsetting)

It's so weird hearing DankPods' voice coming out of a real human being and not from some hands in front of a green iPad. Like I can't connect his voice to his face in my mind.

[@markmathews2143]

I like what's happening with LTT at the moment. After all the controversy, it's like they reset, slowed down a bit and started making videos again that don't always focus on specs and look at other ways to have fun with tech like they used to. For a few years there, they focused on too much tech specs, pumped out to many videos and lost sight of their original goals. It's good to see them back in action like this.

[@i5usko]

Nope it's It's Dankmus!

[@smith7602]

Are you telling me he's not just a pair of disembodied hands hovering over a Shrek green iPad?

[@CadgerChristmasLightShow]

He shows himself all the time on his other channels and streams

[@smith7602]

@CadgerChristmasLightShow That's just his ol' mates: James, Wayne, and Frank. Dank can't show up in most videos because he's always landing in jail and Frank won't pay bail.

[@Punz18]

It was only a matter of time with Dank Pods making good content on Floatplane, him going to LTX, LTT labs having an audio testing set up, and Dankpods' general charisma and increasing popularity on KZbin

[@shadowtheimpure]

Wade came out of absolute nowhere at the perfect time. He's got a charisma that never ends and he covers so many different categories of content that he's got a bit for everyone.

It's really too niche for LTT, and it already has a few other channels that deal with it. Same as the Dayton's or Marty's for subwoofers

[@JonathanVandeHei]

@@benwu7980 but they’ve built cool custom before like the all wood PC. A only semi janky Bluetooth speaker, various custom cases. They have the knowledge and equipment in house to do something cool. Why not show off a little and show what can be done for those that don’t mind a few hobbies. I miss the builder/maker content we used to get more of.

[@capraaudio]

If they had just followed the instructions and used the correct parts it would have been a high quality version.

[@sidesaladaudio]

This was a fun (and cringy) video to watch. Building and tuning headphones are a lot more complicated than it may seem, especially when going in blind, but it's super rewarding. Also, I love that you guys had Wade on as well. He's sparked an interest in audio in a lot who otherwise may not have been that interested in it before. Also... Capra Audio deserved better. Next time, follow the instructions. 😂 You'll get something much better
