Because it was a different culture. Imagine that I will tell you all the stuffing of the iPhone and how it works. so that you can fix it yourself, which will encourage you to learn new skills, because it is extremely not difficult.. A huge number of engineers and it fell in love with their professions in childhood, reassembling it as a designer. It depends on how the whole world goes to the point that you don't even know how your application works, or the device scares you. This means that everything depends on the honesty of company managers. They can even stuff a bomb and no one except amateur specialists will know it.
I don't want any more Stalins, but Soviet engineering was so cool and honestly inspirational. Out-of-the-box thinking was common, repair and learning encouraged. Meanwhile Apple would send armed thugs to burn down your house for opening your own iPhone if they could get away with it.
All old electronics were like that around the world. Computers in the 80s like the IBM PC and Commodore 64 came with full service manuals or schematics (respectively).
As others have also noted, there is one thing that is very cool about the old Soviet tech - it came with a proper instruction manual that often even included complete wiring schematics and repair instructions. I still have couple of Game&Watch clones ("Elektronika") with complete PCB schematics printed in their instruction booklets.
Which makes sense given how expensive and in some cases how long it took for you to get it. The idea kinda was "hey if it's broken you fix it cause you're not buying a new one"

My grandfather was a musician and he had various Soviet audio devices. And once he gave me huge and super uncomfortable Soviet headphones, I already forgot the name. I immediately put them on the shelf and forgot. And then, somehow it happened that my Razor headphones broke, I remembered those that had a big jack, I cut them through the adapter, and damn it, the razor didn’t have such a clear sound, it was some kind of ancient magic . Moreover, I could even hear from which side the opponents were moving, as in modern gaming headphones. Then someone threw these headphones out of their parents like trash. It's a pity.

The ТДС-16 are actually a very interesting pair, still very desirable in Russian audiophile community. There's people who mod the hell out of them and seem to be getting a very solid sound. The reason being their orthodynamic construction (aka isodynamic), a technology not seen much nowadays. Diagram at 5:45 explains very well how they work: a very thin 10um membrane has an electromagnetic coil evenly distributed across its surface. The coil is formed by pattern-etching a thin layer of metal deposition. Then the membrane is sandwiched between two perforated magnets. Very light weight of the membrane in this construction is supposedly very good for accurately reproducing high frequencies, and the uniformity of magnetic field should be good for bass. The most common mod appears to be to stuff some cotton or fabric into the casing to dampen the sound and make them sound less tinny.

My Dad can speak Polish (my Dads side of the family is Polish, he was born in Australia and so was I) and somehow my Dad said that Polish is a very simple language even though it really doesn't seem that way. The only things i've picked up from him (and of course my Babcia and Ciocia arguing) is a few swear words they yell out in Polish. All in all, the only thing I can really say i've learnt about speaking Polish is that swearing in Polish is addictive (to me at least).

Fun fact: the ОТК (Отдел Технического Контроля; “Division of Technical Control”) stamp is placed to signify that a product has reached minimum manufacturing requirements, usually meaning to a military standard. Basically a proof that a product has passed quality control, as products that failed the tests wouldn’t be allowed to be sold.
Military? LOL, no. The factories that produced anything for the army had a separate military quality control dept (army folks literally) and civil folks could barely ever get a hold of military qualified products. But if you somehow did you could be pretty sure it was aerospaceworthy quality.

With all my respect to HD600, they were designed to please the users. And TDS 16 were designed to comply with all audio standards, and like any monitor headphones, they will please the professionals. And they are orthodynamic, which means they have extremally smooth frequency response. Three stamps mean that in case headphones are damaged you could got them fixed three times free of charge.
Yes. Not only smooth frequency response but also crisp transients etc. Reasonable comment without stupid jokes and other idiocy. Also these headphones require a good amplifier. I do not remember exactly, but it needs some proper output impedance or something like that. And this guy in the video used some external soundcard which is not made to drive isodynamic speakers

About grammar and completely silent - it is lighter than yours, but any "but" - tin. Overall, Russian is something between Spanish and German. But given the literary past - and a rather sublime language..... If it's not all about foul language) All in all, success. It will be better to teach by talking to the carrier.

@cruising Okay, but this comment doesn't change the undisputable fact that capitalism doesn't work, and neoliberalism has failed us, and if you think capitalism is better than communism then you're hilariously wrong. and that's just the facts. Capitalism and all non-marxist school of economics are the worst economic systems and will always be the worst economic systems, and that's the undebatable truth. there is no ethical consumption under capitalism, and all who support it are bootlickers. Have fun tasting shoe polish, you'll be tasting it a lot under an exploitive, oppressive, capitalist system, being a wage slave. Even modern day china under the revisionists is still a better place to live than fascist America because atleast then China will transition from Deng Xiao Ping Theory to a Communist economy, and even under the current economy of the People's Republic of China it's still leagues better. There has never been a successful Capitalist country to date that has existed, the United States is a failed project, and the myth of the American Dream and this myth of "America" is collapsing, people are finally waking up and realizing it never materially existed in the first place. and only got to it's position by mass exploitation and being the cheif exporter of suffering among the world through many interventions that were done unjust and overthrowing of governments for her own benefit for the sake of imperalism, and what many people don't know is that the Americans actually started the Cold War through their warmongering and were responsable for many things such as the veitnam war, and the Cuban Missile Crisis to name a few. and it increasingly shows through the rise of exploitation of the proletariat by the bourgeois (which would not happen on a Communist economy), and exploition of the environment by the top 1%, imperialist act as if they wanted to “save the planet” when actually they just want (as usual) to exploit the natural resources, and accerelate climate change until nothing can be done and everyone's universally screwed behind the point of repair, sectarianism, democracy, and the rise of the alt-right and reactionaries. But it's okay if it's a liberal democracy, right? In the name of freedom and democracy in which it barely offers to its own citizens.The dictatorship of the proletariat has shown to be the best way to ever run a country, "Democracy" has shown itself to be wasteful and ineffective time and time again. The US is still #1 when it comes to spectacle, the illusion of choice and manufacturing consent. Elections are exhausting and accomplish nothing in American democracy aside from polarizing our population, and allowing our government to completely abandon any commitments it’s made to the American people in the past 4/8 years. If you consider how democratic a nation to be based on its real accomplishments; faithful representation in government, quality of life, per capita greenhouse emissions, rate of incarceration etc America is thoroughly outcompeted on the world stage. And before you say "WhAt AbOuT ThE UsSr", As American Imperalist Propaganda would like to make you believe, the root cause of the USSR's collapse was the poor economic growth it recorded from 1970-1991. Many in the west see the stagnation and collapse of the Soviet Union as an inevitable consequence of central planning. A fundamental flaw in this argument is that it assumes that the economy of the USSR under Stalin was the same as the economy of the USSR under the leaders that succeeded him. Yes, although the USSR did not abandon planning after Stalin died, its control over it greatly diminished, leading to negative outcomes. As G.I. Khanin put it in his article, The 1950s: The Triumph of the Soviet Economy. After 1953 there was a sharp weakening of the state's supervisory functions in the economy. The totally justified and timely reduction of the punitive function of the MVD in the political sphere was accompanied by a similar reduction, if not abolition, of that function in the economic sphere, where it had played a positive role by providing the political leadership with objective information about the state of affairs in the economy. This reduction was entirely in the interests of the economic nomenklatura, a considerable part of which wanted a lack of supervision so they could both paint a favourable picture of the situation and enrich themselves. At the same time, there was a reduction in economic supervision by other control organs (the procuracy, the ministry of state control and departmental control organs). In other words, the control system which is absolutely essential for any centralised system, and especially in the command economy, where control by the market is absent, was to a significant degree dismantled in the 1950s. When the dangerous consequences of this were partially recognised at the beginning of the 1960s and more careful checking of the activities of economic organisations and organs of power began, a very significant level of corruption and abuse was revealed. Around 12,000 leading personnel, including 4,000 party workers, were brought to court then for these abuses. 44 The weakening of control by the centre was named by Mancur Olson as the major reason for the steep decline in efficiency of the command economy after the death of Stalin: 'As soon as communist power began to be dispersed communism was doomed to collapse' As G.I. Khanin notes, this type of weakening of state control is not viable for centrally planned economies. Stalin's model provided valuable information to the central government, which is essential to any centrally planned economy. This change served the interests of no one except the opportunistic nomenklatura. Khanin goes on to note the awful reforms put in place by the post-Stalin government In the second half of the 1950s ill thought-through and hasty economic reforms were carried out, which seriously worsened the management of economic life. Although the branch system of management had many shortcomings (departments were too closed and little account was taken of local peculiarities), the system of management of industry and construction introduced in its place in 1957 had even more (localism, loss of management of branches as a whole, and territories now became closed). It seriously obstructed the management of scientific and technical progress. In conclusion: The changes in the economic mechanism and the methods by which it operated noted above meant that by the end'of the 1950s the classical command economy system formed in the 1930s-1940s was to a considerable extent dismantled and came to have in many respects only a formal character. This fact played a very important role in the slow-down in the economic development of the USSR from the end of the 1950s. Hence claims that the command economy was the cause of this slow-down are very superficial. Little remained of it by this time. In support of this idea I shall quote the vehemently anti-communist Egor Gaidar and the experienced economic manager N. Nazarbaev. The former called 1929-53 'the only period when communism triumphed'.47 Nazarbaev wrote in 1991: 'For three decades [i.e. since the end of the 1950s] we simply have not had a planned economy. The term concealed not simply other methods of economic management but appallingly bad management and irresponsibility. Besides that, the United States is surprisingly (or very unsurprisingly, to those with a brain) not the "freest" country in the world, it is true that the United States generally allows a relatively greater freedom of speech and freedom of the press than many other countries. But only in the sense that there is usually less suppression of publications and ideas here through laws and government force than in many other countries. The reason for this is that the U.S. ruling class has come close to perfecting the suppression of ideas it disapproves of through an alternative method; that is, through its control of the economic system and its nearly total control of the media and means of communication and education in the country. Thus, individuals can usually say what they like even if it goes against the interests and desires of the capitalist class, but still only on the condition enforced by the capitalist ownership and control of the media, that very few other people will ever get a chance to hear what the dissenters have to say. It is the genius of this evil system that it still effectively silences most dissent while loudly proclaiming the supposed freedoms of speech and the press! However, whenever the ruling class does feel seriously threatened by information and ideas that go against its interests, it does not shrink from forcible suppression, no matter what its Constitution says about the freedom of speech and of the press. At the present time the (so-called) U.S. Justice Department is attempting to intimidate, and even arrest and jail, some of those who engage in purely verbal support work for people’s struggles against injustice around the world. Their excuse is that free speech must be suppressed in order to fight “terrorism”. And besides, if capitalism is so good, then why is there a recession every other day, insanely high pay gaps between the rich and the poor, and people starving on the streets, these are some basic questions most capitalists cannot give good answers to because there is no good answer, these issues would not be issues in the first place under communism. Capitalism is a system of pure greed and doesn't benefit the working class at all while Communism is a system based off of human need, you'd be foolish to support it.

7:03 the funniest part about those headphones that they called "telephone" or "head telephone".

"head telephone" - this is what they say only at the department of sound engineering in some universities, where one of the elderly teachers with a Soviet education remained) "головные телефоны" - так говорят только на кафедре звукорежиссуры в некоторых вузах, где остался кто-то из преподавателей преклонного возраста с советским образованием) Да и не то чтобы говорят, скорее требуют так писать в курсовых и дипломных работах, но это не обязательное условие, разумеется.
@@terra__ maybe the second variant would be more accurate (or maybe "on-ear-ies"), I don't know how best to translate this. This word ("Naushniki" - "na" is "on", "ush[i]" is "ear[s]") has a "-ik" suffix at the end (upd. "-n" also a suffix), which I think indicates that it is "something that which is worn on the something (ears on this case)". The last "i" indicates plural. One earpiece will simply be "Naushnik".

My grandfather was a musician and he had various Soviet audio devices. And once he gave me huge and super uncomfortable Soviet headphones, I already forgot the name. I immediately put them on the shelf and forgot. And then, somehow it happened that my Razor headphones broke, I remembered those that had a big jack, I cut them through the adapter, and damn it, the razor didn’t have such a clear sound, it was some kind of ancient magic .

The ТДС-16 are actually a very interesting pair, still very desirable in Russian audiophile community. There's people who mod the hell out of them and seem to be getting a very solid sound. The reason being their orthodynamic construction (aka isodynamic), a technology not seen much nowadays. Diagram at 5:45 explains very well how they work: a very thin 10um membrane has an electromagnetic coil evenly distributed across its surface. The coil is formed by pattern-etching a thin layer of metal deposition. Then the membrane is sandwiched between two perforated magnets. Very light weight of the membrane in this construction is supposedly very good for accurately reproducing high frequencies, and the uniformity of magnetic field should be good for bass. The most common mod appears to be to stuff some cotton or fabric into the casing to dampen the sound and make them sound less tinny.
Why don't they use that tech anymore

Basically a proof that a product has passed quality control, as products that failed the tests wouldn’t be allowed to be sold.
We have something similar in India too. The BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) does the same. Probably was inspired from Soviet Russia.
So it's basically "QA Passed" stamp.

You are welcome.
With all my respect to HD600, they were designed to please the users. And TDS 16 were designed to comply with all audio standards, and like any monitor headphones, they will please the professionals. And they are orthodynamic, which means they have extremally smooth frequency response. Three stamps mean that in case headphones are damaged you could got them fixed three times free of charge.
Yes. Not only smooth frequency response but also crisp transients etc. Reasonable comment without stupid jokes and other idiocy. Also these headphones require a good amplifier.

@@eublyafar I've been learning Russian for 2 months now, and I still feel lost with the language. It's very different from English.
@@kjullthedemon As a carrier, I will say: Russian is too simple and twofold at the same time. If we talk about pronunciation - everything is simple and without surprises. Meaning of words.... We can have one word with multiple meanings (for example, like your "red" or "blue" - we have two different colors, and you just have "red"); wordplay is a different story. About grammar and completely silent - it is lighter than yours, but any "but" - tin.
Overall, Russian is something between Spanish and German. But given the literary past - and a rather sublime language..... If it's not all about foul language)
All in all, success. It will be better to teach by talking to the carrier. So quickly you will begin to realize all sorts of illogicalities and communicate not with your tongue and ears, but with your soul. Especially when the brick falls on the leg :)

@MisterSerpent oh damn that's long
@cruising Okay, but this comment doesn't change the undisputable fact that capitalism doesn't work, and neoliberalism has failed us, and if you think capitalism is better than communism then you're hilariously wrong. and that's just the facts. Capitalism and all non-marxist school of economics are the worst economic systems and will always be the worst economic systems, and that's the undebatable truth. there is no ethical consumption under capitalism, and all who support it are bootlickers. Have fun tasting shoe polish, you'll be tasting it a lot under an exploitive, oppressive, capitalist system, being a wage slave. Even modern day china under the revisionists is still a better place to live than fascist America because atleast then China will transition from Deng Xiao Ping Theory to a Communist economy, and even under the current economy of the People's Republic of China it's still leagues better. There has never been a successful Capitalist country to date that has existed, the United States is a failed project, and the myth of the American Dream and this myth of "America" is collapsing, people are finally waking up and realizing it never materially existed in the first place. and only got to it's position by mass exploitation and being the cheif exporter of suffering among the world through many interventions that were done unjust and overthrowing of governments for her own benefit for the sake of imperalism, and what many people don't know is that the Americans actually started the Cold War through their warmongering and were responsable for many things such as the veitnam war, and the Cuban Missile Crisis to name a few. and it increasingly shows through the rise of exploitation of the proletariat by the bourgeois (which would not happen on a Communist economy), and exploition of the environment by the top 1%, imperialist act as if they wanted to “save the planet” when actually they just want (as usual) to exploit the natural resources, and accerelate climate change until nothing can be done and everyone's universally screwed behind the point of repair, sectarianism, democracy, and the rise of the alt-right and reactionaries. But it's okay if it's a liberal democracy, right? In the name of freedom and democracy in which it barely offers to its own citizens.The dictatorship of the proletariat has shown to be the best way to ever run a country, "Democracy" has shown itself to be wasteful and ineffective time and time again. The US is still #1 when it comes to spectacle, the illusion of choice and manufacturing consent. Elections are exhausting and accomplish nothing in American democracy aside from polarizing our population, and allowing our government to completely abandon any commitments it’s made to the American people in the past 4/8 years. If you consider how democratic a nation to be based on its real accomplishments; faithful representation in government, quality of life, per capita greenhouse emissions, rate of incarceration etc America is thoroughly outcompeted on the world stage. And before you say "WhAt AbOuT ThE UsSr", As American Imperalist Propaganda would like to make you believe, the root cause of the USSR's collapse was the poor economic growth it recorded from 1970-1991. Many in the west see the stagnation and collapse of the Soviet Union as an inevitable consequence of central planning. A fundamental flaw in this argument is that it assumes that the economy of the USSR under Stalin was the same as the economy of the USSR under the leaders that succeeded him. Yes, although the USSR did not abandon planning after Stalin died, its control over it greatly diminished, leading to negative outcomes. As G.I. Khanin put it in his article, The 1950s: The Triumph of the Soviet Economy. After 1953 there was a sharp weakening of the state's supervisory functions in the economy. The totally justified and timely reduction of the punitive function of the MVD in the political sphere was accompanied by a similar reduction, if not abolition, of that function in the economic sphere, where it had played a positive role by providing the political leadership with objective information about the state of affairs in the economy. This reduction was entirely in the interests of the economic nomenklatura, a considerable part of which wanted a lack of supervision so they could both paint a favourable picture of the situation and enrich themselves. At the same time, there was a reduction in economic supervision by other control organs (the procuracy, the ministry of state control and departmental control organs). In other words, the control system which is absolutely essential for any centralised system, and especially in the command economy, where control by the market is absent, was to a significant degree dismantled in the 1950s. When the dangerous consequences of this were partially recognised at the beginning of the 1960s and more careful checking of the activities of economic organisations and organs of power began, a very significant level of corruption and abuse was revealed. Around 12,000 leading personnel, including 4,000 party workers, were brought to court then for these abuses. 44 The weakening of control by the centre was named by Mancur Olson as the major reason for the steep decline in efficiency of the command economy after the death of Stalin: 'As soon as communist power began to be dispersed communism was doomed to collapse' As G.I. Khanin notes, this type of weakening of state control is not viable for centrally planned economies. Stalin's model provided valuable information to the central government, which is essential to any centrally planned economy. This change served the interests of no one except the opportunistic nomenklatura. Khanin goes on to note the awful reforms put in place by the post-Stalin government In the second half of the 1950s ill thought-through and hasty economic reforms were carried out, which seriously worsened the management of economic life. Although the branch system of management had many shortcomings (departments were too closed and little account was taken of local peculiarities), the system of management of industry and construction introduced in its place in 1957 had even more (localism, loss of management of branches as a whole, and territories now became closed). It seriously obstructed the management of scientific and technical progress. In conclusion: The changes in the economic mechanism and the methods by which it operated noted above meant that by the end'of the 1950s the classical command economy system formed in the 1930s-1940s was to a considerable extent dismantled and came to have in many respects only a formal character. This fact played a very important role in the slow-down in the economic development of the USSR from the end of the 1950s. Hence claims that the command economy was the cause of this slow-down are very superficial. Little remained of it by this time. In support of this idea I shall quote the vehemently anti-communist Egor Gaidar and the experienced economic manager N. Nazarbaev. The former called 1929-53 'the only period when communism triumphed'.47 Nazarbaev wrote in 1991: 'For three decades [i.e. since the end of the 1950s] we simply have not had a planned economy. The term concealed not simply other methods of economic management but appallingly bad management and irresponsibility. Besides that, the United States is surprisingly (or very unsurprisingly, to those with a brain) not the "freest" country in the world, it is true that the United States generally allows a relatively greater freedom of speech and freedom of the press than many other countries. But only in the sense that there is usually less suppression of publications and ideas here through laws and government force than in many other countries. The reason for this is that the U.S. ruling class has come close to perfecting the suppression of ideas it disapproves of through an alternative method; that is, through its control of the economic system and its nearly total control of the media and means of communication and education in the country. Thus, individuals can usually say what they like even if it goes against the interests and desires of the capitalist class, but still only on the condition enforced by the capitalist ownership and control of the media, that very few other people will ever get a chance to hear what the dissenters have to say. It is the genius of this evil system that it still effectively silences most dissent while loudly proclaiming the supposed freedoms of speech and the press! However, whenever the ruling class does feel seriously threatened by information and ideas that go against its interests, it does not shrink from forcible suppression, no matter what its Constitution says about the freedom of speech and of the press. At the present time the (so-called) U.S. Justice Department is attempting to intimidate, and even arrest and jail, some of those who engage in purely verbal support work for people’s struggles against injustice around the world. Their excuse is that free speech must be suppressed in order to fight “terrorism”. And besides, if capitalism is so good, then why is there a recession every other day, insanely high pay gaps between the rich and the poor, and people starving on the streets, these are some basic questions most capitalists cannot give good answers to because there is no good answer, these issues would not be issues in the first place under communism. Capitalism is a system of pure greed and doesn't benefit the working class at all while Communism is a system based off of human need, you'd be foolish to support it.

As a Russian born Aussie I had so much fun watching this! I can translate if you keen to, but that was the first time in my entire life I saw headphones was called in Russian as "head telephone" on the box. That's totally insane!
P.S. Л or /| - for Left, П - for Right :D
Просто в электротехнике динамики/источники звука называются "Телефон"
And Д is a CAPACITOR!!! Ахаха
Nice video) Really Russian language isn't so difficult. ) For example ПРАВЫЙ ( П) is mean "Right", ЛЕВЫЙ (Л) - "Left" . In the USSR, people were more careful about technology, because it was expensive. Therefore, in the package with the instructions there are 3 warranty cards for repairing headphones. All the best to you from RF.
7:03 the funniest part about those headphones that they called "telephone" or "head telephone". It's funny because no one calls headphones like that in Russian (headphones are "on-ears" in literal translation).
Apparently these headphones are so old that the name is a literal translation of the word "head phone".
Блин, а я ещё думал, почему там написано телефоны?)))
@@CaptainReynolds-flyinspace Потому что когда копировали технологию, скопировали и название, бегло проведя его по словарю вместо того, чтобы придумывать собственное. А "наушники" это уже устоявшееся сленговое название.
"head telephone" - this is what they say only at the department of sound engineering in some universities, where one of the elderly teachers with a Soviet education remained)
"головные телефоны" - так говорят только на кафедре звукорежиссуры в некоторых вузах, где остался кто-то из преподавателей преклонного возраста с советским образованием) Да и не то чтобы говорят, скорее требуют так писать в курсовых и дипломных работах, но это не обязательное условие, разумеется.
"on-ears" or "on-ears-ies"? if you have only one earbud left its "on-ear-y" I think? :))
"on-ear-ing" smh
@@terra__ maybe the second variant would be more accurate (or maybe "on-ear-ies"), I don't know how best to translate this. This word ("Naushniki" - "na" is "on", "ush[i]" is "ear[s]") has a "-ik" suffix at the end (upd. "-n" also a suffix), which I think indicates that it is "something that which is worn on the something (ears on this case)". The last "i" indicates plural. One earpiece will simply be "Naushnik".
