I can't believe Pizza Hut recreated the iconic sound of their Drive-Thru speaker system inside such a small package!
Pizza hut has a drive thru?
TIL Pizza Hut has drive thrus.
Popped the 666
@@retromane23 I think I've seen one with drive-thru in UAE
@@ivanalvarado3646 TIL what TIL means
Crazy how the packaging isn’t even visually out of date anymore, since Pizza Hut recently went back to their 80s logo.
I actually love the new logo.
Fun fact, we changed the logo back but the company refuses to update the signs so both are still used technically 😂
I hope pringles does the same and remove the cheap offbrand looking garbage we have now.
@@MiGujack3 Honest question, why care what logo a company uses? They're lowlife bastards who just want your money either way
@@Tech_Otter hilarious
They really captured the feeling of listening to music through a pizza
Thanks to this video I learned that South Australia has its own all-Italian radio station which is pretty cool.
I'm just wondering how much the demand for _Italian radio_ in _Australia_ could possibly be to justify its existence.
@@blakksheep736 Huge. We have a massive Italian/Greek population.
@@jnthepassenger347 you don't say.
@@jnthepassenger347yeah nah he was being sarcastic mate
You have to appreciate the blag of having 'L' and 'R' on mono headphones.
Also the cable being split all the way, just to be ruined at the jack.
They could have just used a stereo jack with both signals combined, no idea why not.
ABSALOTELY
That's like a black and white CRT having a saturation dial.
Especially ones which don't swivel forward
@@Kalvinjj the good thing about that is you could technically replace the plug with a stereo one. Not that I see why you'd want to in this case. 🤣 And then you would only get sound on one ear from this exquisite radio brick.
that first headphone comparison was just magical... elevator speakers vs. music blasted out of a shitty speaker from three rooms over
I busted out laughing when the pizza phones came on
And then the second test, aka music blasted out of a shitty speaker from three rooms over vs. Actually Good Audio(TM).
Just about died laughing.
Listening to the pizzaphones just straight up made me sad. :(
I paused to change the equalizer on my stereo because I'm like both of these sound like crap I didn't realize that they were both supposed to sound like crap
Idk, there’s be less remaining treble from 3 rooms over. Maybe the next room.
7:36 THE PIZZA RADIO IS SPEAKING ITALIAN GAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
I see they've finally worked out the pickle matrix
I had a college professor who was friends with a guy who used to paint the red roofs of Pizza Huts, that was his job. Turned out that paint was EXTREMELY carcinogenic, and they didn't exactly have a lot of regard for PPE back then, so he died of cancer later in life. I can never see a pizza hut roof without feeling kinda sad because of that. When handling paint or any other nasty chemicals, PLEASE wear the proper PPE, it could literally save your life!
That’s just what big PPE wants you to think
Was helping my ceramics professor clean out the storage room at the end of last year, found a bunch of teeny tiny jars of gold luster glaze in the way back that looked like they'd been sitting since the 90s at least. Asked her why we'd never used them in class, because the tiny pots could probably get some really nice fine brushed details.
Turns out, turpentine is one of the main ingredients in it. And they sure reeked like it.
Nah you can’t die from paint. I’ve been eating these paint chips for a month now and only recently I started vomiting blood. Mom said it’s a sign of a healthy body.
@@alkestos 👀
I'm sorry.
You can't outpizza those headphones. You just can't...
You don’t know how to outpizza the hut…. No one does….
@@flame_83 Nobody can!
see you in good morning america
I tried. I can confirm the validity of this statement.
Honestly pizza hut just tastes disgusting but its only there pizza its so funny how there like ,no one outpizzas the hut, but everyone does no one outpastas outdeserts outbreadsticks the hut but there pizza is the worst pizza I've ever eaten
i thought the headphones came in a box with an actual pizza lmao
like it had just been sitting on top of the greasy pizza for 40 years
Holy shit the Stax are amazing. I know they're going through my AKGs, but it sounds like they aren't going through a youtube video through a computer over the internet into mid-tier 100 dollar headphones. It sounds like I'm listening to the same audio file with my headphones! That's insane!
i like the difference between the STAX ones and the pizza hut ones. its like the difference of hearing a band you like in person vs. hearing them while you're shopping in the local supermarket.
While having your head forcibly held under water.
Some bands suck live, though.
WTF, this tune has... bass?!?
@@tzuyd exactly. I mean, I’m listening through my iPad, so while I knew the bass track, I wasn’t expecting to be able to hear it. But once the stax came on, it was good enough to hear even through these!
the "MMMMM" "AHHHHH" "OHHHHHHH" at 2:30 just hits different
ayo
Oh man, having my ears adjust to the "normal" sound of the pan headphones and then switching back to the Lambdas is like, a celestial experience. Whoa. It makes already amazing headphones sound even better, I just can't even put it to words!
Bro those Stax Lambda headphones sound sooo good
7:26 the radio is in italian and it's talking about pinocchio which adds another layer of spice to this amazing headphones.
How did he pick up an Italian radio signal all the way in Australia?
AM radio has the unique ability to stretch out its radio waves, which in turn lets it bounce off the ion-sphere and land somewhere else in the world. IE stralia landia
@@digirails1845 That's Shortwave Radio. AM radio has a max range of 40-100km from the transmitters. AM doesn't bounce in the ionosphere.
The station Wade is listening is just an Australian AM Station catering to Italian immigrants.
@@someguy9181 thats the power of a pizza themed radio nugget
I bet these headphones wish they sounded as wooden as pinocchio
These headphones have the right to be greasy, have you ever eaten a pizza hut pizza?
I haven't and now I dont want to
Better than papa John’s
In fact they use the same grease for both
I've worked a few different pizza places and the one with the most oil hands down pizza hotline.
@@eier5472 same with cheese
GTA San Andreas menu be like: 3:05
Exactly what I thought 🤣🤣🤣
As a Gaki no Tsukai enjoyer, I am delighted that more people get to experience the joy that is watching people try to consume Frisk-based foods.
Dankpods truly doing God's work here.
Did Endo ever get his endorsement with Frisk mints XD
This is basically a 6 transistor radio from the late 1950s. It's probably a design from that era that they could bang out in Hong Kong for almost nothing. It's cool how radios like this went from expensive luxury items that were sold in jewelery stores and fancy department stores to basically being toys in relatively not a lot of time.
same thing with most technology, phones, microwaves and i remember even when i was a kid you'd have to rent a carpet cleaner unless you were well of or a business but now they're like 100 bucks
Who sells radios in a jewellery store?
@@blakksheep736 People in the 1950s apparently
I've got plenty of 6 transistor radios, some are beautiful, and some are made so cheap you can shove a paperclip in it to get better reception
Capitalism at its finest, things trickle down with time, a blessing and a curse. (Mostly a blessing, but leads to funny s**t like this)
As someone who was a tween in the mid-1980s, I was going to say that "Mmmh Ahhh Ohhh, Oven-Fresh Dough" was Pizza Hut's North American advertising jingle from that era but I looked it up and it was Pillsbury instead, so why a suspiciously-similar conflation of non-verbal vocal utterances was used by Radio Shack for a licensed Pizza Hut product is a mystery.
I had a licensed product radio from Radio Shack from the same era (and still do, though it barely works anymore) but it was a Pepsi can radio and it didn't have headphones. Also, unlike the Pizza Hut and Burger King radios, the Pepsi can radio also had FM.
'80s design Pepsi can radio? Ah shoot looks like I'm gonna have to go on a quest now and try to find one that works. :-)
@@thephoenixhasflown I see a few of the AM-only versions of the Pepsi can radio on eBay right now but the only one I see that's AM/FM has the 1987-ish logo (with the Close Encounters font), unlike the AM/FM Pepsi can radio that I have which has the 1973-86 logo.
@@SteveBrandon if I lived closer to Central PA the a.m. might do it on account of the river being on am thanks for going out of your way and looking and reporting back to me I really wasn't expecting that. Have a nice night. Also that might mean you have a rare one.
I mainly listened to AM on it as well, Larry King on weekdays overnight and classic rock (which, in the mid-1980s, meant only music from the mid-1950s to the mid-1970s) on weekends overnight. Considering the FM was mono anyway due to it only having a single speaker, there wasn't much of a difference in audio quality between music played on AM and music played on FM.
@@SteveBrandon yeah now look what's happening to the classic rock stations
6:25 A Pizza Hub Jazz Jumpscare (APHJJ)
I really love the fact that you included that Gaki no Tsukai clip of Endo putting Frisk (breath mints) as his pizza topping.
That episode still cracks me up till this day.
The actual best part is that the radio stations were italian ones, and the first one (from 07:20 to 07:28 ) most certainly was talking about Pinocchio, as they mention a character born from a piece of wood
What language did they speak in cause it didn't sound like English...
@@ysbrandd4908 italian
@@gundampiss I'm trying to figure what you felt like, when answering this question, given your original comment being so obvious.
Oh god so i heard it right. I was like why that thing is picking up italian stations lol??
@@der_kluger_gunther8391 PIZZA POWER !!!!!!!!
2 things:
1. I love they mark the headphones with L and R despite them being mono.
2. In 1986 AM Stereo radio had JUST started in Aus, and was not really a thing yet in the States. Plus it took a special receiver to handle the stereo, but the signals were backwards compatible, so lots of things (especially small things like this) just went with mono receivers, so teh choice makes sense, sort of.
Mono and they are perfectly symmetric too😂
In the UK, we never even had stereo on AM - we just went straight to FM, which had stereo capabilities.
Nowadays even FM isn't so good (especially when it's crowded with multiple of the same channel, but not much else) so in the UK we use DAB/DAB+ instead. So much better for station choice!
Wait. AM has Stereo??!!
@@asciilal apparently only in some countries
@@asciilalpartly, but it mostly never took off because of FM and later DAB.
6:19 Dank doing the headphone sound comparison
*Me playing the video with my bad laptop speakers*:
Ah yes, sound.
Sounds like the radio was picking up some pretty heavy interference from the electronics surrounding the desk. Since AM operates in the same frequency range as some switch mode power supplies, you get that hellish screaming. Those adjustable inductors inside are for tuning the RF stages, twiddling with them most likely threw off the Pizza Hut Radio's legendary accuracy.
The go to when your a ham radio operator plagued by interference is an AM broadcast reciever tuned between stations. Pretty easy to zero in on the culprits. I fount my solar charge controller to be spitting out wideband hash and was able to nullify it using clip on ferrites on the solar input cables. 20M was practically useless until I added the ferrites.
In the headphones defense, I don't think there were many AM stations broadcasting in stereo back in those days so you wouldn't have been missing anything.
And AM Stereo required extra decoding chips which this nugget won't have
yeah...thats an AM only, receiver. But still, i think its a damn robust one for a novelty item. With a new 3d printed case and fine tuning, it may go places...
@@Montragon29 Even some of the cheapest Japanese made electronics were worlds better than most of the stuff out of China today.
And now, AM radio is entirely Right. (In the U.S.)
I like how they captured the same sound as their lobby speakers in these headphones.
To be fair in regards to the mono thing, these headphones were meant to be used for an AM Radio and AM only started broadcasting in stereo in Australia a year before these were released.
The difference between the pizza phones and the Stax is like trying to listen to a live band while submerged in thick water
TH2QQQ
I would say the pizza phones were like a speaker phone on the other side of an empty, echoey room while having the worst imaginable tinnitus. All too end, static, and ringing.
7:00 your giggle here is priceless! :D
It's pretty amazing that you still have AM radio where you live. Here in Belgium I only receive all kinds of weird noises on ancient nuggets like these. The whole AM frequency band has been taken over by wireless digital junk.
1:45 Wired headphones are used as the antenna for FM reception (VHF band with wavelength of ~9 ft).
AM band (~1000 ft) is received by the metal rod inside the radio.
💀🤓
Fun fact: most AM radio stations broadcast in mono, hence the mono. in 1993 C-QUAM was made the default AM Stereo broadcast standard but not a lot of gear outside of car radios ever used it, as music broadcast began the exodus to FM for the audio fidelity.
Interesting! I never knew there was a Stereo AM standard. Man. I never got over the loss of Long Wave Radio, Atlantic 252 :(
Wow that’s actually an interesting fact! I’m working as an communications technician and didn’t know that before
Thank you random internet stranger!
In the mid 80's I had a Pioneer stereo system put in my '83 Regal. Because of the model of the Head-Unit that I purchased, Pioneer included a box of cool swag. In it was a pale green hospital scrubs shirt like surgeons wore. Screen printed on the back in big black text was, "I've got a cure for Mono". On the left front pocket area it said, "Pioneer AM Stereo".
@@MAGGOT_VOMIT on nice!!! I wonder if that was ISB or QAM. I know there were a lot of methods coming in through the 70’s and 80’s before c-quam was adopted in 93.
"Pizza's a circle, right, and so are speakers!" -- Dankpods, as he proceeds to go out of his way to find stock images of speakers and headphones that are definitely not circles. That kind of subtle humor in these videos is really what makes them genius.
"subtle"???????
@@RayanfhoulaBR fr I swear tf some people in the comments have a fucking random adjective generator and have never thought a unique thought in their life
Funfact: rectangle speakers are acoustically worse for some reason
@@hunter1586 I think they forgot their quotation marks
I mean the speakers inside probably are circles.
Thanks for getting that BLOODY SONG STUCK IN MY HEAD FOR THE NEXT WEEK!!!
0:03 it says kid’s messenger. That’s somehow worse than it having no context. Instead, it has LESS THAN NONE.
Fun fact, 1986 was the first year the government mandated the high mounted rear third brake light!
I'm having much more fun knowing that fact, thank you
interesting. But I have a '93 Geo Tracker and it doesn't have the third brake light.
@@quinnobi42 that’s because the tracker was classified as a light truck, they didn’t require the 3rd brake light until 94
Yeah but that's America. Wasn't until 89-91 in Australia
Are you searching 1986 on youtube to post this under videos?
At 3:49,that's not a peice missing, that's a chemical burn from the headphone wire melting the plastic. It happens when a cable is pressed against plastic for years on end
I love your videos, always filled with so much energy
Yo Dankpods aka Wade I JUST GOT MY Sennheiser HD 599SE, they are MIND BLOWING and the CLARITY, THE DEFINITION and the bass IS JUST PERFECT. I legitimately GIVE U CREDIT for getting me involved with the whole game/world of Headphones and Sennheiser is just WONDERFUL. I have been subscribed for a long time I think and I regularly watch your videos and I just love this channel with all my heart. Cheers !
Ah, Pizza Hut, the place that served me undercooked pizza that legitimately burned my entire digestive system when I was trying to sleep that night. Best Birthday Ever.
Christ! I never had that bad a luck with Pizza Hut, but that still sucks
The music, when played through the Stax Lambda, sounds like I'm listening to live jazz in a cafe. The music, when played through the Pizza Hut headphones, sounds like I'm listening to a recording of jazz music through a phone while I'm on hold.
If only the wire on the Pizza Hut Headphones were extra shitty and started cutting out and popping at random, that'd give you the genuine "on hold" experience
@@PixyEm Lol.
The part furthest from the tip of the jack is the ground part, so those do not mush the signal together, they just play one of the channels, the other one is simply grounded.
>Pizza themed headphones and radio
>Tunes into an Italian radio station
That can't be a coincidence 🤣
Dank saying speakers and headphones are circles, only to show both as squares is why I love this channel.
The best part is when he said "it's dankin' time" and started danking those pods
yes

Ughhhh 🙄
@@John-Doe-Yo Silence or get danked
Those Grado Hemps were the dankest pods I've ever seen
Going through a real rough patch rn with my relationship and life in general, you're great help with that, love your work man keep it going
i love this channel because I'll forget about it for a couple of months and then spend a whole afternoon watching all the videos i missed
Who have thunk the Pizza Hut am radio would have trash selectivity and it would just received the entire AM broadcast band at once.
4:42 thanks for the peer pressure lmao, I actually just realised that I’ve had my audio set to mono for a while and didn’t notice why music was sounding weird
I have to say that, in the midst of watching all the nugget vids on the playlist, I was quite charmed by these headphones. It's clear they weren't going to be high-end but they seem to have been made pretty reliably to work like that nearly 40 years later.
Nah. The Stax are even older. Real golden oldies. The pizza huts are pure garbage.
Hey dankpods, just wanted to tell you you've kept me going through life, I always get a good laugh out of your videos and seeing how youve pushed through even in the hardest parts of your life makes me really feel stronger and helps me throughout the week. Your videos are always good no matter how much I've watched them and they seem to stay that way. I've been watching since the 400gb video and managed to get my first iPod off of ebay. Hope all goes and stays well with you. :)
the pizza hut headphones really do sound like you're hearing it's things from an elevator. honestly, i love watching vids like this, really scratches the "this is a dumb silly thing" part in my brain
Naw, that crack Sony headphones are like an elevator. The Pizza Hut phones are like hold music from a shady loan company that calls you in the middle of the work day.
amazing how frank moves more in her sleep than on an hour drum stream
Frank's guest appearances at the end are just chef's kiss, they always make my day 🤩
Dank you, mister ThankPods, for this wonderful content :)
I know the Stax sound amazing, but every time I hear them I'm amazed. They make me feel all warm and fuzzy.
but it's your own speakers acting as the final intermediary, that's just the capacity of your system should you choose to listen to that song, give or take some EQ-ing
unless you mean you own a pair lol
the stax sound amazing through the ear mic!! I was genuinely shocked at how good they sounded
You've managed to make me laugh and teach me something at the same time. Thanks 👍
BTW you are not suposed to mess with those corrections inside radio. It’s tuned for maximum performance and to match exact frequencies of transmition.
5:39 the headphones are so bad they aren't giving the RUclips compression algorithm enough information to recognize that there is information there
Holy shit lamo
POV: You’re in elevator
5:27
I remember these! I really wanted one until I read the fine print and learned that it was basically an AM Transistor radio, 1950's radio tech in a 1980's wrapper. But those pizza headphones!
We've had a pizza hut in our suburb, melb, for at least 20 years, and its been the last bloody place you would go to.
The headphone comparisons always give me the mental image of a movie scene where the bad speakers are a scene where an elderly couple hear that song on the radio, and then the good speakers are a flashback to them dancing to the song in their youth.
Even the shittiest speakers can recall deep sounding memories

Your commentary is absolutely comical!
Current Pizza Hut employee here. We had a Pizza Hit Bluetooth Speaker up until earlier this year that employees could earn. You can probably find it on eBay. I also still find it interesting that we switched back to the ’80s logo.
brb
heading on ebay
Pizza hut weird facts is not something I expected to learn today but here we are
"I also still find it interesting that we switched back to the ’80s logo."
Did they switch back to having edible pizza as well?
Execs probably figured it was cheaper to remind people of the time when their product was good than to actually switch back to quality ingredients and make it good *now*.
Speakers, backpacks, shirts with puns, I wish I could remember more. Highest tier at 28(?) points was an 8 hour paid time off day.

Surprising I know.
lmao -- so I've been going through watching all of these videos in any random order. I normally just listen this stuff via my tablet. This is the first time I've worn headphones watching one.
Where I'm going with this is that this is literally the first time I heard the bass playing in the headphones comparison track and it's absolutely blowing my mind
4:25 To be fair, a Pizza Hut radio isn't gonna give you AM Stereo 😂
6:40 damnnn the quality
2:35 is me when I see my Italian friend eating Hawaiian pizza
At least in the 70s the mono switch made sense as loads of records in the 60s were pressed in mono to cut costs.
I wouldn't have opened that. That was a really cool item still in the packaging.
at 7:20 you can hear an italian radio station!
You have rekindled a love I had for audio, as an adult now, I can afford some of the things I see in you're videos! Thanks man, see you next stream!
Knowing you as a fellow Adelaide boy, that station would have been 5RTI Rete Italia on 531kHz. That actually used to be on 92.9, and used to share with what is now Fresh 92.7.
I'm surprised you were even able to pick that up, considering that radio was on 10kHz spacing and we use 9kHz here in Oz.
I listen through some quality headphones myself, and love Dank’s headphone comparisons, but when the PizzaPhones came on I thought something was wrong with my headphones 😂😂😂
I love how you have no intro and the videos are just straight to the video it makes them so much better to watch
7:15 As a 14 Pro Max user, I can confirm that the Pizza Hut radio nugget is more high tech.
As a 14 pro max user with AirPods Pro (without mono) I can confirm that the pizza is more high tech 🗿🍷
It's frankly impressive it could pick up any radio with all that electromagnetic interference from being surrounded by your recording equipment.
GAKI NO TSUKAI????
fuck that was a surprise to see! it's always a delight to see someone who knows about them
7:25 the pizza nugget is speaking Italian
These are very reminiscent of the Buger King burger phones that LGR reviewed a few years back. Love to see it. Love putting greasy food on my head, thanks boys.
Quality and gimmicks aside, I love how user-adjustable the radio is. That's one thing about the 80s that should come back.
4:07... why put left and right on the headphones if the cable only has one channel
Currently listening to pizza time from the Spider-Man games on my pizza headphones wolfing down an Aussie pizza with EXTRA bacon 😏
The Lamdas sound sublime - by far my favourite cans out of all the ones Wade has shown us (bearing in mind RUclips compression is no doubt doing weird things). Night and day compared with the Hut's meagre effort. I guess pizza just isn't the right material for conducting sound!
I was shocked.. They're so ugly as well my goodness I love them
@@vanillagorillaog Well, thats the dilemma right there - if you want function, go with the Stax; if you want form, go with the Pizza Hut ear pies!
for some reason, the first thing the radio picked up was an italian radio show talking about Pinocchio
Those Lambdas sound AMAZING, hope to see more of them in future videos
I would love so much to see a frequency response graph of those to laugh at
Scoopin the mids
The box proudly says AM Radio, which wasn't broadcast in stereo until the 1990s.
Hence the mono headphones.
I love your videos so much
6:54 This was incredibly smooth
Hey Mate! You have been my favourite RUclipsr for quite some time you've gotten me through my toughest time like my grandma's passing. I just wanted to let you know that you helped me and you're doing great!
