Bloody oath. There's a kids channel on tv I usually watch whenever my internet's not working and sometimes there's enjoyable stuff and sometimes weird stuff.
If you ever test kids' headphones again, you should add "chewing on the chord" to the "man-child tantrum" test. Chewing on the chord is how my child ruined her last two sets of headphones.
"I said I wanted plum liqueur with my Ferrero Roche's" is genuinely one of the funniest things I've ever heard in my life. I genuinely lost it when I heard it, and I also imagined a little chubby British kid in like a tweed suit bashing a pair of Mezze Elite's as he yells at his butler for not getting him his plum liqueur.
@@THESLlCK I honestly had no fucking clue what the JDM stuff was about, the plum liqueur probably hit differently since I'm a pretentious home cook, so I sympathized.
The quick blink of text says "I'm sorry that the camera was out of focus. I aim to do my best and today I have failed you. Now many will go on wondering if they truly were called the Rockpapa's, which no doubt will weigh heavily on folks mentally. I hereby pass the blame to Frank as she is unable to argue back" Edit: Yo 2k likes

@@WyvernDotRed haha! Shame i couldn't do that at all! I'd get those for gaming and probably just use them as speakers as that's what i do with my old Skullcandy headphones since the one cushion disintegrated

I was watching Ashens do a headphone test the other day, imagine my disappointment when he tested the mic and it wasn’t Dankpods doing a story. Never mind Spider-Man that’s the collab we need.
for the record, those "rockpapas" are quite generic. in fact my family bought me 3 pairs of headphones that looked the exact same as the rockpapas with different branding and in under 2 days they all died internally. Good thing my Sony MDR-XB550s (that don't even have a headstrap anymore bc of just putting them on and off for multiple years and require me to wear a damn hat to keep 'em on my head) are still going strong!
what huh? how do you keep them on with a hat? are they just glued to one dedicated headphone hat? i have a hard time visualising how you would use a hat to keep the headphones on
I never noticed the audio quality problems RUclipsrs have until I got good headphones, and I see now why there are so many people whining in the comments about volume and music levels and background noise
I’m happy for them, but bruh those are WAY to good for children! My first pair of headphones were the Sennheiser HD 206 and those are perfectly fine for kids!
They have 100% been selling those Rockpapas (under various names) since at least 2013. I had a pair of headphones back then that were exactly like that except with a different color scheme (red and black) and a slightly different cable. Other than that it's totally the same plastic castings used, with that little silver disc on the sides. Although, the quality of the glossy plastic on the rockpapas looks a touch more dollar store-esque than what they used on my old bois. They were cromulent for my child ears.
Like, why doesn't Samson or Meze just blow the atomic pants off the kid headphoney market by releasing a "SR850 Mini" (or Junior Edition?) and "Meze 99K"?
The reason I think the JBLs did as good as they did against the "Tantrum Test" is actually BECAUSE of its moving parts. When the impact came in there were loose joints that the force could be dispersed through meaning the parts can bounce safely, the rigid ones had no give, so all the force was absorbed by the material, meaning there was no dispersion, no bounce, so they broke.
it’s absolutely hilarious to me that he compares $10 kiddie headphones from kmart to professional level quality $400+ headphones. poor kmart nuggets never stood a chance from the start
10$ kiddie headphones my backside, those are the same price as decent audio gear. Yes the comparison with old mate sanny is still unfair, but that's the reference he uses with all headphones, it's not there because it's competing in the same segment.
JBL are surprisingly good more than I realised. I recently bought a new gaming head sets by JBL and they are so good. They are really comfortable and have great quality sound.
I am 99% sure I had the jBL ones in black when I was younger and as ironic as it might sound: those were the ones that got me interested in „good sound“! Before that I always used those round apple in ears to look cool and from there it was such a step up!
Hard impacts affect tense/rigid things a lot more than loose things. Loose things are more compressible, which means they can absorb the momentum of collisions easier. That's why the big blue and orange bois didn't make it
I gotta hand it to JBL. As much as I hate their 3 inch long cables, they know how to make durable products. I have a set of their wireless buds that are almost 2 years old now and for how much paint I've gotten on them and how many times I've dropped the buds themselves onto the floor, they still sound great and don't show one bit of wear other than the little bits of paint in the button crevices that I can't get out
I've had not one, not two, but three pairs of their wired earbuds and they all have died within six months to a year. So I'm not that sure about they making durable products
@@skelector I've been using jbl for around 5 years, the wired headphones are good but they die in one ear within a year. I got a bluetooth pair and they have not broken except for the foam wearing down over use.
I have a pair of kids skylanders branded headphones that sound REALLY GOOD against all odds, i had to repair a joint on them a while back but they are still very usable and have totally livable and even enjoyable audio quality
This video made me think of a nightmare start-up that sells subscriptions to a service that streams your device's audio to a pair of audiophile-grade headphones going into a set of freakish ears on a stand and streams it back to you. You can choose which model of headphones you want to use.
There needs to be a children's audiophile pair, able to fit small heads, able to "last", have fairly balanced and clear sound and not be so loud that they damage their hearing
I really have to say, the JBL’s actually impressed me. As for the others and how much they were….. please just get your kids quality headphones! Thank you again for the amazing content Dankpods!
Dankpods screaming " _Plum liquor!!_ " while aggressively beating headphones against the ground, in the background is the best out of context thing I've ever witnessed
5:45 hey its a pair ive used before! Really cheap sounding, really annoying because they constantly whine at you when they are like 50% battery, but actually really comfortable for laying down. Yeah these where my sleep headphones for a while.
They don't sound THAT bad. Gifted them to my cousin an ended up listening a out an hour to my own music, hehe. They have bass, mids, treble, it's all there and somehow okay for 50 bucks. Can recomend the TUNE 600BTNC or something in that range, if you want something really cheap with anc and usable sound.
Mate, I found out HyperX made a planar magnetic gaming headset in a mixmax with Audeze. That's got to be something you have to put on your to do list, they sound insane! Also, as a former fat kid, I'm glad they're making headphone for kids with overdeveloped heads.
I got a pair of those “Rockpapa” headphones from Menards (a home improvement store) a good 8 years ago and the ear muffs bits got so hard and uncomfortable after a while. Mine were red and black though.
Those JBLs look like a reskinned version of the regular ones they sell, and I can say from experience, those mfs are durable as hell. My pair went with me to school, and all sorts of places. Hung around my neck, dropped a million times, shoved in bags, and worn all day for 2+ years. Eventually, it was the battery that gave out, but I was seriously wearing them like every second of the day, so I would not be surprised to see them last years. They were just some random wireless $50 AUD headphones I picked up from Officeworks.
So I’ve realized that the Freakish Ears on a Stand only provide an accurate representation of soundstage with in-ears since it’s a binaural mic rig, thus making headphones sound artificially wide while using anything else
I don't even care about music or headphones that much, but somehow I've found myself watching every one of Dankpods videos. You sir are hilarious and make watching headphone reviews interesting. Keep on being you!
Dank, mate, I want to thank you. I've always enjoyed music and always appreciated good audio quality, but never knew about the world of the audiophile. Then my RUclips recommend a video of you screaming into a cheap nugget microphone and I learned how much more there was to enjoying music. Now, 8 months later, I have a Tidal subscription and just got my first pair of open backed overears(just a cheap set, the AKG 240 studios, nothing special or fancy yet) and my man it is life changing. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos and bringing this world to the average person.
I have a pair of those JBLs (the regular version, not the kiddies one) and I've had it for 3 years now. It's built to last considering how rackety it sounds. The ear pads wore out after 2 years but they sell replacements for it for next to nothing (on Wish/Aliexpress at least)
I have the cheaper/older version of those headphones for like 4 years now they are completely buggy, pads are dead and some plastic broke but I still use them everyday.
0:11 Oh I actually bought one of those recently for my 1 year old! It's a walker toy. Basically gives the child something to lean on while they learn to walk. The stuff on the face is to capture their interest so they play with it.
The microphone audio is so nostalgic! This sounds just like the old recordings I took when I was 5, and it brought me back to the good old days! (2010 - 2018)
You know, with as many times as you've said that good audio stuff stays good, I wonder if the Rockpapa's adjust as far up as they do because they're meant to potentially be the only set of headphones a person ever needs. Like, you'd buy them for your 8 year old, and they'd still fit when the kids in their 30s. Edit: The fact that they survived the Tantrum test confirms it for me. Built to last.
I hope he reviews more JBL headphones, I'm a strong advocate of the professional variety they provide, like the LIVE and TUNE ones, they also sell in ear monitors and speakers too!
@@mateuszzimon8216 JBL may be owned by Samsung but their sound producers aren't. JBLs actually sound really fucking good for their money, except that 50 dollar childs toy, which is to be expected its a childs toy
@@JAL_EDM TBH They really didn't sound terrible, not to mention were fairly cheap and held up really well in the tantrum test. Was quite pleasantly surprised.
I actually had the JBL headphones one time! I loved using and It was pretty durable for like 2 years until my brother stepped on it. Now the power button is jammed and I cant use it anymore, but the main frame never broke or even budged in the slightest. 9/10 would definitely recommend for your children (works great for any age though)
There is only one real set of kids' headphones that I'm aware of, the JVC HA-KD10. Not only it fits little people's heads properly but it has a small brainbox that regulates the volume to the drivers - e.g. even if you start the music at full blast it will gradually increase the signal to the drivers. It also has its own volume knob. The only downer is it needs triple AAAh's.
@@benuscore8780 Just a resistor wouldn't be able to account for devices with very high or very low output level. Basically a compressor. Another problem is that resistors will change the frequency response, as the amplifier will have a capacitor to remove the DC in the output stage, and that forms an RC filter with the driver. Although audiophile quality isn't the main concern for kids head phones.
Tbh sometimes when they're more "bendy" they survive strong impact than having it be more solid in their design. Unless the kids actively try to break it ofc
Oh the fully solid adjustment leg build of the one that Dank thought was going to survive reminds me of the Hesh (yes Skullcandy) headphones back when I first started using them, they broke in that exact spot every time. Yup even putting them in your bag the wrong way would break them and they cost about $40 (on sale)-$60 (05-08 models), but the plastic they used as the adjustment legs left a lot to be desired. I actually tantrumed a headphone to death when the Bluetooth connection stopped working correctly and was cutting the sound out. Even plugging in the cord didn't do anything. It started with one side not working. I'm still on my 2nd pair (3rd according to the phones being called Hesh 3) of the Bluetooth variant after three years, despite it sometimes having problems, it still works fine (although I lost the cord for it). Current headphones were from around 2017-2018 or '18-'19.
Still rocking Hesh2, third pair with 4th pads and 7th cable. First fell of stairs, still on my head. After this started rattling. Second was dropped to water. I don't wanna buy new BT because they can't be used with cable. Perfect for winter with velvet pads
Skull candy used to have a line of kid headphones. I was little-ish when I got them but they lasted a long time. I went from listening to kids music to finding my own personal music taste
The hinges give it more freedom of movement therefore it could take hits easier. The lack of hinges made it rigid, so there wasn't any room to dissipate the tantrum
I believe this is the first time I've commented on here, but I've been watching you for quite some time now. And honestly, man, I've watched all your vids on YT, and this "Mad Child Tantrum Test" is by far the funniest thing you have ever done. Lol. It's funny when you yell random nonsense into mics. It's funny when you smash stuff (usually with the 1 Grit). Add those two things together and it is magic in the forest, my man. I truly hope these Man Child Tantrum segments return. Lastly, I just want to say I hope your Twitch stuff works out, congrats on your 1 Million subs on YT, and I hope you have a good day/night. Cheers, mate!
This video cost me a friendship. A friend told me not to buy from a certain brand because they 'broke so easily.' I did some snooping around and it turned out that the majority of complaints about them being so fragile were from people who made a habit of throwing them or slapping them on their desks due to a gamer tantrum. I told him as such, asked him if he'd done that. "I've only thrown them once!" He said, in a tone of voice that clearly said otherwise. "We're *gamers* so of course companies should build tough so we don't break their crap!" I shot him a link to this video. He hasn't talked to me since.
You know, I wonder if the persona he takes on during mic tests should have a name or not. Something perfect to go along with the raw stupidity of this mysterious man.
4:34 *Unessacary mini story time!!* I bought countless micro USB cables just to charge a phone and they always break at the metal bit. It's like this style of USB wasn't ment to be made.
When I was a kid I mostly just used Dirty-Buds (over ear edition). just those absolute garbage plastic headphones that would come with your walmart-brand portable CD player. But I am astounded by the price on some of these. Feels like you are mostly paying a huge ammount of money for a volume limiter (something that can be set on most devices anyways)
Did you have like those Sony over-ear headphones that were made to just sit on your ears, not cover them like the ones in this video? They had some thin, scratchy foam pad as a headphone ear cover, and came with almost every Walkman back in the day. I went through so many of those stupid things, usually because I either dropped them or accidentally stepped on them! 😄
11:29 I have a little step brother brother that has autism and is 6 or 7 yrs, he was able to lift (with ease) a 30lb ceramic lamp above his head, and throw it up into the air about an additional 3-4ft. He threw it higher than our tv, which at the top is about 8 or 9ft from the ground. I was more shocked than mad he did that in front of me.

Can we appreciate the fact that we see the old cameras and the watch featured in later videos during the headphone testing segments? Cause I appreciate that-
I can just imagine the snake starring at you confused and conserved as you repeatedly smash headphones on the floor while screaming like a man child haha!
@@elizabethkeen7851 I'm guessing you already know this is a joke right. Just asking...It's hard to tell... I hope your comment is part of the joke and not trying to negate my own.
I will now forever be upset with Frank for bestowing upon me the mental anguish of not ever knowing if the headphones are truly called Rockpapa or not.

"those wheels aren't JDM and not for my vintage Honda" literally every JDM nerd ever
You got a bot as your first comment. Congrats
When people think JapanRacing is a JDM brand.
"those wheels aren't even jdm" - I felt that.
They have 100% been selling those Rockpapas (under various names) since at least 2013. I had a pair of headphones back then that were exactly like that except with a different color scheme (red and black) and a slightly different cable. Other than that it's totally the same plastic castings used, with that little silver disc on the sides. Although, the quality of the glossy plastic on the rockpapas looks a touch more dollar store-esque than what they used on my old bois. They were cromulent for my child ears.
Like, why doesn't Samson or Meze just blow the atomic pants off the kid headphoney market by releasing a "SR850 Mini" (or Junior Edition?) and "Meze 99K"?
@@handlemonium Because they don't care about the sound quality only about the look and price
I have also owned a pair and it suited little old me back then
Even through my phone speaker or iPad, I can still hear the quality difference between the headphones
Someone needs to make a DankPods bingo card set. Panels like "pog cell" "the 1 grit" and "mic test"
The reason I think the JBLs did as good as they did against the "Tantrum Test" is actually BECAUSE of its moving parts. When the impact came in there were loose joints that the force could be dispersed through meaning the parts can bounce safely, the rigid ones had no give, so all the force was absorbed by the material, meaning there was no dispersion, no bounce, so they broke.
it’s absolutely hilarious to me that he compares $10 kiddie headphones from kmart to professional level quality $400+ headphones. poor kmart nuggets never stood a chance from the start
KB Ears would like to have a word
hd superluxs would like to have a word
10$ kiddie headphones my backside, those are the same price as decent audio gear. Yes the comparison with old mate sanny is still unfair, but that's the reference he uses with all headphones, it's not there because it's competing in the same segment.
yeah but they're 70 bucks tho, so yeah that's real headphone money!
for sure, but it's what makes the comparison interesting. listening to two garbage headphones wouldn't be super informative
JBL are surprisingly good more than I realised. I recently bought a new gaming head sets by JBL and they are so good. They are really comfortable and have great quality sound.
The man child tantrum test is my favorite dank pods test of all time. Hahaha 🤣
"Denkpods is confused"
"it hurt itself in its confusion"

I am 99% sure I had the jBL ones in black when I was younger and as ironic as it might sound: those were the ones that got me interested in „good sound“! Before that I always used those round apple in ears to look cool and from there it was such a step up!
Hard impacts affect tense/rigid things a lot more than loose things. Loose things are more compressible, which means they can absorb the momentum of collisions easier. That's why the big blue and orange bois didn't make it
I gotta hand it to JBL. As much as I hate their 3 inch long cables, they know how to make durable products. I have a set of their wireless buds that are almost 2 years old now and for how much paint I've gotten on them and how many times I've dropped the buds themselves onto the floor, they still sound great and don't show one bit of wear other than the little bits of paint in the button crevices that I can't get out
What kind of Jbl did you have. My wireless pods fell apart after like 10 falling to the ground.
If I had them as kids o wouldn't hate headphones made for kids
I've had not one, not two, but three pairs of their wired earbuds and they all have died within six months to a year. So I'm not that sure about they making durable products
@@skelector same... 2 pairs both died in 6 months, luckily I had a warranty for both and got my money back. Traded up and brought some ER4xr in-ears
@@skelector I've been using jbl for around 5 years, the wired headphones are good but they die in one ear within a year. I got a bluetooth pair and they have not broken except for the foam wearing down over use.
I have a pair of kids skylanders branded headphones that sound REALLY GOOD against all odds, i had to repair a joint on them a while back but they are still very usable and have totally livable and even enjoyable audio quality
I am genuinely surprised, how this man manages to pump out these videos so frequently. Thank you, one of these reliably make my day every time!
10:46 man i can't count how many times I've heard this tantrum amongst adults
This video made me think of a nightmare start-up that sells subscriptions to a service that streams your device's audio to a pair of audiophile-grade headphones going into a set of freakish ears on a stand and streams it back to you. You can choose which model of headphones you want to use.
"the tantrum test" needs to be a PSA for prospectus parents. AHAHAHAHAHAHA
There needs to be a children's audiophile pair, able to fit small heads, able to "last", have fairly balanced and clear sound and not be so loud that they damage their hearing
"dirtybuds" worked fine for me as a youngin
@@valuehunter5544 Would've been better than the Nokia earphone the previous owner cut the right side off of that I started with
Most phones have volume limits, or you could just explain to your child why to not turn the volume up
I got some sonys there not the best but there good
@@JoelGerson1 Sony generally has a pretty good name for themselves
I really have to say, the JBL’s actually impressed me. As for the others and how much they were….. please just get your kids quality headphones! Thank you again for the amazing content Dankpods!
The tantrum segment at 10:37 is pure gold, perfect to send to someone without context as a form of rickroll
After the move outrage the user gets confused so look out for that
Dankpods screaming " _Plum liquor!!_ " while aggressively beating headphones against the ground, in the background is the best out of context thing I've ever witnessed
5:45 hey its a pair ive used before! Really cheap sounding, really annoying because they constantly whine at you when they are like 50% battery, but actually really comfortable for laying down. Yeah these where my sleep headphones for a while.
They don't sound THAT bad. Gifted them to my cousin an ended up listening a out an hour to my own music, hehe. They have bass, mids, treble, it's all there and somehow okay for 50 bucks. Can recomend the TUNE 600BTNC or something in that range, if you want something really cheap with anc and usable sound.
@@blackpete I got the T450BT and pretty average upgraded to the 99s classic with black plastic
I would love listening to some relaxing rain or fire crackling and "BATTERY LOW" waking me up and ruining any chance of a good nights sleep
@@DumbArse oh it just cuts out the music for a second and plays a sound, annoying but not something that would wake you up.
@@Yipper64 yeah but it repeats it all the time
Mate, I found out HyperX made a planar magnetic gaming headset in a mixmax with Audeze. That's got to be something you have to put on your to do list, they sound insane!
Also, as a former fat kid, I'm glad they're making headphone for kids with overdeveloped heads.
IIRC, the HyperX planars are literally rebranded Audeze Mobiuses with a ton of features stripped out, including wireless.
3:13 That's a joke I had forgotten was a curse that came along with my name. Thanks, you just revoked 1 hour of sleep from me for the next couple days
11:34 actually had me laughing.
I didn't think they'd get that damaged.
Sometimes I forget dank is a car guy, that JDM wheel tantrum caught me off guard 😂

@@sororxcide*anything tech-related guy
I got a pair of those “Rockpapa” headphones from Menards (a home improvement store) a good 8 years ago and the ear muffs bits got so hard and uncomfortable after a while. Mine were red and black though.
I’m envious of how happy this man is
That actually isn't a stupid thing to say
"Look how handsomely that's yellowed", boy I hope someone says that about me when I go obsolete.
that needs to be a Birthday Card
Those JBLs look like a reskinned version of the regular ones they sell, and I can say from experience, those mfs are durable as hell.
My pair went with me to school, and all sorts of places. Hung around my neck, dropped a million times, shoved in bags, and worn all day for 2+ years. Eventually, it was the battery that gave out, but I was seriously wearing them like every second of the day, so I would not be surprised to see them last years. They were just some random wireless $50 AUD headphones I picked up from Officeworks.
So I’ve realized that the Freakish Ears on a Stand only provide an accurate representation of soundstage with in-ears since it’s a binaural mic rig, thus making headphones sound artificially wide while using anything else
It never ceazes to amazes me how these shitphones turn proper jazz into elevator tunes.
6:51 hey man that's a pretty average size
I don't even care about music or headphones that much, but somehow I've found myself watching every one of Dankpods videos. You sir are hilarious and make watching headphone reviews interesting. Keep on being you!
Dank, mate, I want to thank you. I've always enjoyed music and always appreciated good audio quality, but never knew about the world of the audiophile. Then my RUclips recommend a video of you screaming into a cheap nugget microphone and I learned how much more there was to enjoying music. Now, 8 months later, I have a Tidal subscription and just got my first pair of open backed overears(just a cheap set, the AKG 240 studios, nothing special or fancy yet) and my man it is life changing. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos and bringing this world to the average person.
And now I've got a dac coming in 3 days, I'm hella excited.
0:18 Even when I was a young kid, these things terrified me.
I have a pair of those JBLs (the regular version, not the kiddies one) and I've had it for 3 years now. It's built to last considering how rackety it sounds. The ear pads wore out after 2 years but they sell replacements for it for next to nothing (on Wish/Aliexpress at least)
I have the cheaper/older version of those headphones for like 4 years now they are completely buggy, pads are dead and some plastic broke but I still use them everyday.
Same, I have JBL T450bt and i'm honestly surprised that they still work fine after 4 years.
@@Lea-mu4pz Yeah, my pair sometimes won't connect at all and will just be stuck with a white light but it works after a while
0:11
Oh I actually bought one of those recently for my 1 year old!
It's a walker toy. Basically gives the child something to lean on while they learn to walk. The stuff on the face is to capture their interest so they play with it.
"I said I wanted *plum liquer* with my ferero rocher! IT"S NOT A FERERO ROCHER WITHOUT *PLUM LIQUER*!"
fucking. DYING.
Really digging the vintage mags. Really ties the freakish ears on a stick together.
The funny thing in a kid headphones idea is that children can hear much wider range of sound than adults, yet their headphones did the opposite.
The microphone audio is so nostalgic! This sounds just like the old recordings I took when I was 5, and it brought me back to the good old days! (2010 - 2018)
That tantrum test almost had me in tears, I was laughing so hard.
You know, with as many times as you've said that good audio stuff stays good, I wonder if the Rockpapa's adjust as far up as they do because they're meant to potentially be the only set of headphones a person ever needs. Like, you'd buy them for your 8 year old, and they'd still fit when the kids in their 30s.
Edit: The fact that they survived the Tantrum test confirms it for me. Built to last.
"Cute cable but it's also one of the shortest things I've ever seen."

I hope he reviews more JBL headphones, I'm a strong advocate of the professional variety they provide, like the LIVE and TUNE ones, they also sell in ear monitors and speakers too!
JBL and AKG and Harman Kardon is part of Samsung, but still Galaxy Beans are worse than cheapest offer from JBL
@@mateuszzimon8216 JBL may be owned by Samsung but their sound producers aren't. JBLs actually sound really fucking good for their money, except that 50 dollar childs toy, which is to be expected its a childs toy
@@JAL_EDM TBH They really didn't sound terrible, not to mention were fairly cheap and held up really well in the tantrum test. Was quite pleasantly surprised.
@@raptorjesus3894 theres a good reason im a heavy advocate for JBL, they've been doing this for longer than AKG i believe
JBL’s low end stuff are also great. Their cheap Bluetooth headphones and small speakers are way better than the average alternatives.
I actually had the JBL headphones one time! I loved using and It was pretty durable for like 2 years until my brother stepped on it. Now the power button is jammed and I cant use it anymore, but the main frame never broke or even budged in the slightest. 9/10 would definitely recommend for your children (works great for any age though)
There is only one real set of kids' headphones that I'm aware of, the JVC HA-KD10. Not only it fits little people's heads properly but it has a small brainbox that regulates the volume to the drivers - e.g. even if you start the music at full blast it will gradually increase the signal to the drivers. It also has its own volume knob. The only downer is it needs triple AAAh's.

I wonder why they didn't simply attenuate the input, that way a small lithium coin cell would probably have sufficed.
@@graealex I mean if all you need to do is attenuate the input a single passive resistor would suffice
@@benuscore8780 Just a resistor wouldn't be able to account for devices with very high or very low output level. Basically a compressor.
Another problem is that resistors will change the frequency response, as the amplifier will have a capacitor to remove the DC in the output stage, and that forms an RC filter with the driver. Although audiophile quality isn't the main concern for kids head phones.
Tbh sometimes when they're more "bendy" they survive strong impact than having it be more solid in their design. Unless the kids actively try to break it ofc
This is one of the best yet 😂 the mic test on this was the best ever just like oh yeh, it has a microphone!
Oh the fully solid adjustment leg build of the one that Dank thought was going to survive reminds me of the Hesh (yes Skullcandy) headphones back when I first started using them, they broke in that exact spot every time. Yup even putting them in your bag the wrong way would break them and they cost about $40 (on sale)-$60 (05-08 models), but the plastic they used as the adjustment legs left a lot to be desired.
I actually tantrumed a headphone to death when the Bluetooth connection stopped working correctly and was cutting the sound out. Even plugging in the cord didn't do anything. It started with one side not working.
I'm still on my 2nd pair (3rd according to the phones being called Hesh 3) of the Bluetooth variant after three years, despite it sometimes having problems, it still works fine (although I lost the cord for it). Current headphones were from around 2017-2018 or '18-'19.
The fact young children have Bluetooth headphones makes me feel old.
Still rocking Hesh2, third pair with 4th pads and 7th cable.
First fell of stairs, still on my head. After this started rattling.
Second was dropped to water.
I don't wanna buy new BT because they can't be used with cable.
Perfect for winter with velvet pads
7:14 I recoiled at the potential paper cuts...
Skull candy used to have a line of kid headphones. I was little-ish when I got them but they lasted a long time. I went from listening to kids music to finding my own personal music taste
The hinges give it more freedom of movement therefore it could take hits easier. The lack of hinges made it rigid, so there wasn't any room to dissipate the tantrum
I'd guess that's also why humans are advised to go limp when facing hard impacts than staying totally rigid.
"dissipate the tantrum"
Why did that make me laugh?
"what do childrens headphones sound like" Dank you a legend and make us all smile
I believe this is the first time I've commented on here, but I've been watching you for quite some time now. And honestly, man, I've watched all your vids on YT, and this "Mad Child Tantrum Test" is by far the funniest thing you have ever done. Lol.
It's funny when you yell random nonsense into mics.
It's funny when you smash stuff (usually with the 1 Grit).
Add those two things together and it is magic in the forest, my man.
I truly hope these Man Child Tantrum segments return.
Lastly, I just want to say I hope your Twitch stuff works out, congrats on your 1 Million subs on YT, and I hope you have a good day/night. Cheers, mate!
This video cost me a friendship.
A friend told me not to buy from a certain brand because they 'broke so easily.' I did some snooping around and it turned out that the majority of complaints about them being so fragile were from people who made a habit of throwing them or slapping them on their desks due to a gamer tantrum. I told him as such, asked him if he'd done that.
"I've only thrown them once!" He said, in a tone of voice that clearly said otherwise. "We're *gamers* so of course companies should build tough so we don't break their crap!"
I shot him a link to this video. He hasn't talked to me since.
You know, I wonder if the persona he takes on during mic tests should have a name or not. Something perfect to go along with the raw stupidity of this mysterious man.

"what do children's headphones sounds like"
Young corporate slavery
Sounds based.
When I was a kid I mostly just used Dirty-Buds (over ear edition). just those absolute garbage plastic headphones that would come with your walmart-brand portable CD player.
But I am astounded by the price on some of these. Feels like you are mostly paying a huge ammount of money for a volume limiter (something that can be set on most devices anyways)
Did you have like those Sony over-ear headphones that were made to just sit on your ears, not cover them like the ones in this video? They had some thin, scratchy foam pad as a headphone ear cover, and came with almost every Walkman back in the day.
I went through so many of those stupid things, usually because I either dropped them or accidentally stepped on them! 😄
11:29 I have a little step brother brother that has autism and is 6 or 7 yrs, he was able to lift (with ease) a 30lb ceramic lamp above his head, and throw it up into the air about an additional 3-4ft. He threw it higher than our tv, which at the top is about 8 or 9ft from the ground. I was more shocked than mad he did that in front of me.

You inadvertently did a product comparison and sold me on the JBL headphones for my kids. Thanks dank!
Can we appreciate the fact that we see the old cameras and the watch featured in later videos during the headphone testing segments? Cause I appreciate that-
