I can't believe Pizza Hut recreated the iconic sound of their Drive-Thru speaker system inside such a small package!

Crazy how the packaging isn’t even visually out of date anymore, since Pizza Hut recently went back to their 80s logo.

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.

You have to appreciate the blag of having 'L' and 'R' on mono headphones.

that first headphone comparison was just magical... elevator speakers vs. music blasted out of a shitty speaker from three rooms over

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

7:36 THE PIZZA RADIO IS SPEAKING ITALIAN GAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

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!

You can't outpizza those headphones. You just can't...

I see they've finally worked out the pickle matrix

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!

the "MMMMM" "AHHHHH" "OHHHHHHH" at 2:30 just hits different

7:26 the radio is in italian and it's talking about pinocchio which adds another layer of spice to this amazing headphones.

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

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.

These headphones have the right to be greasy, have you ever eaten a pizza hut pizza?

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.

GTA San Andreas menu be like: 3:05

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.

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.

6:25 A Pizza Hub Jazz Jumpscare (APHJJ)

6:19 Dank doing the headphone sound comparison *Me playing the video with my bad laptop speakers*: Ah yes, sound.

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

7:00 your giggle here is priceless! :D

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.

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.

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.

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

"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.

Thanks for getting that BLOODY SONG STUCK IN MY HEAD FOR THE NEXT WEEK!!!

I love your videos, always filled with so much energy

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.

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

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.

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 !

Fun fact, 1986 was the first year the government mandated the high mounted rear third brake light!

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.

0:03 it says kid’s messenger. That’s somehow worse than it having no context. Instead, it has LESS THAN NONE.

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

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.

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.

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

>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.

Who have thunk the Pizza Hut am radio would have trash selectivity and it would just received the entire AM broadcast band at once.

Dank you, mister ThankPods, for this wonderful content :)

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.

The best part is when he said "it's dankin' time" and started danking those pods

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

It's frankly impressive it could pick up any radio with all that electromagnetic interference from being surrounded by your recording equipment.

Frank's guest appearances at the end are just chef's kiss, they always make my day 🤩

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

amazing how frank moves more in her sleep than on an hour drum stream

You've managed to make me laugh and teach me something at the same time. Thanks 👍

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.

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.

I know the Stax sound amazing, but every time I hear them I'm amazed. They make me feel all warm and fuzzy.

At least in the 70s the mono switch made sense as loads of records in the 60s were pressed in mono to cut costs.

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 stax sound amazing through the ear mic!! I was genuinely shocked at how good they sounded

5:39 the headphones are so bad they aren't giving the KZfaq compression algorithm enough information to recognize that there is information there Holy shit lamo

I wouldn't have opened that. That was a really cool item still in the packaging.

Those Lambdas sound AMAZING, hope to see more of them in future videos

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.

6:54 was so smooth wow

showing the most square headphones and speakers i have ever seen in response to them being circle had me rolling love a good visual gag

I love how even if theyre mono, it still says left and right on the headphones

POV: You’re in elevator 5:27

As a pizza hut employee, this video hits different

The belt clip is how they recorded the menu sound of GTA San Andreas

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.

2:35 is me when I see my Italian friend eating Hawaiian pizza

6:40 damnnn the quality

Your commentary is absolutely comical!

That red background was an attack on they eyes. I love it and think it oddly fits. Keep it.

at 7:20 you can hear an italian radio station!

The box proudly says AM Radio, which wasn't broadcast in stereo until the 1990s. Hence the mono headphones.

"BELT CLIP!" i love it when he yells when the packaging is written in all caps😂

for some reason, the first thing the radio picked up was an italian radio show talking about Pinocchio

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!

I love how you have no intro and the videos are just straight to the video it makes them so much better to watch

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.

How you span and caught the boy with the logo facing forward was so damn smooth

7:25 the pizza nugget is speaking Italian

7:15 As a 14 Pro Max user, I can confirm that the Pizza Hut radio nugget is more high tech.

You should take all these products and turn them into the most phsycopatic gaming setup of all time

Whoever uses these has good taste in music

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.

Currently listening to pizza time from the Spider-Man games on my pizza headphones wolfing down an Aussie pizza with EXTRA bacon 😏

I love that the first radio that thing picked up in australia talks in italian ahahahah

Jokes on you, their product worked. It made me want pizza almost 40 years after they made it and I DIDN’T EVEN OWN IT.

Hey Mate! You have been my favourite KZfaqr 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!

6:32 Anyone else loves the bass on the pizza for some reason?

Bro makes nearly half a million usd a year from patron alone. Good for you, m8

6:54 This was incredibly smooth

I would love so much to see a frequency response graph of those to laugh at
