A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I love that idea but it gives “main character” energy. You only buy this to shoe your music taste then hope someone talks to you about it. Maybe i am wrong 😂

"Main character energy" is a great way to put it. If I came across someone wearing these I'd have some assumptions...

It reminds me of that Onion piece on a Kindle that loudly shouts what book you're reading: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDBzQkWeQ5g

Good question

[–] andyMFK@reddthat.com 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No information about the drivers and no frequency response graphs doesn't fill me with confidence.

[–] crashspeeder@lemmy.fmhy.ml 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's because they don't exist. It's only a concept rendering. This site spotlights design ideas and their creators, not actual products.

[–] andyMFK@reddthat.com 4 points 1 year ago

this post should should perhaps go into some sort of design community rather than a technology community in that case? since there's no technology here

[–] grte@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year ago

Damn, those look like shit. All the bulk of overear cans with none of the seal.

Yes I really need to advertise that I only listen to OST of anime & games

[–] Valliac 8 points 1 year ago

Considering I deal with people who blast their music from their phone speakers without headphones, I do not want to know what over-bassed track they're listening to.

[–] kitonthenet@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Promo picture with the headphones on backwards lol

[–] JohnSmith@feddit.uk 5 points 1 year ago

I think the bullshit picture aligns well with the product!

[–] mustyOrange 7 points 1 year ago

I imagine the frequency response curve is going to be a trash heap on these things. Mids? Who needs em?

[–] BurningnnTree@lemmy.one 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is very pointless and it just makes the headphones heavier for no benefit to the wearer

[–] ScottyB@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

But think of the style points!

[–] CarrierLost@lemmy.one 5 points 1 year ago

That's a no from me.

[–] Pollo_Jack@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Oh man, if my batteries run out on my noise cancelling headphones I leave them on so I don't have to talk to people. Now I can enjoy the, "I know those aren't on" line.

[–] ConfusedLlama@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah let's make the person next to me stare me weirdly when I'm just chilling enjoying my music and make me uncomfortable 😆

Yanko design is a name I haven't seen in quite some time. Some of the dumbest, impractical, and downright impossible concepts have been featured on this blog.

Two memorable examples were the "magnetic" exercise weight set that would have to violate physics in order to function and a refrigerator made of green goo that would somehow preserve food.

Oh and "hubless wheels" anything that rolls needs hubless wheels.

Complete the effect by combining them with a wristwatch broadcasting your heart rate and the transfixed stare of Apple's goggles.

How fast would that battery die? Also the screens probably add substantial weight. This thing isn't practical at all, but it is very flashy.

[–] Eigengrau@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Am sorry, but this looks hideous

[–] artillect@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

As much as it looks tacky, I kinda dig it

[–] ivereadalltheory 4 points 1 year ago

My ass listening to The Frogs with the lyrics on the can 💀
