"Kids shows are just a fevered dream" .... no truer statement has ever been uttered by a human with working eyes.

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.

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.

the thought of a full grown man slamming headphones against the floor while screaming about jdm wheels and frogs genuinly warms my heart

The fake kids tantrums were amazing. "These wheels aren't JDM. They can't be seen on my vintage Honda"

"I hurt myself in my confusion!" That got me a lot harder than it should have.

Dankpods drinking game: EASY: Drink whenever... - he's talking about how our ears face forward - he's tears a manual in half - he's screaming at a text on some box or in some manual - he's "ah my pkcell" - he's getting the Sexy Speaker - he gets the "Freakish Ears-on-a-stand" - he's talking about him being a musician - he's pointing out if an aux cable is gold plated or not MEDIUM: Drink whenever... - he's talking about sound-quality - he get’s off-topic - he says “my boi” - he's yelling into a microphone - he blows up an earphone - he thinks that the biggest companies make the worst crap - he talks about iPod nanos - he brings up something better as a comparison to what he is reviewing - he breaks something on purpose with or without the 1grit - he says stuff about the cable HARD: Drink whenever... - the HD-Six-Hungos are better - he talks about iPods - he starts singing and screaming random gibberish - when the stinkphones are sounding shit - when the stinkphones sound like kid's percussions - when Frank IMPOSSIBLE: Drink whenever... - it's never enough

The best thing to hear in a dank pods video is “oh my god it has a microphone!” The instant joy that sets in

The tantrum test is by far the funniest thing Dank's come up with all year. Yes, even more than the mic test stories.

Another day of Dank's curiosity leading him down an abyss of jank for our viewing pleasure!

I love his ability to just go on like a muppet talking about absolutely nothing when he finds a mic

Just the thought of seeing a full grown adult smashing kids headphones against the ground screaming plum liquor makes me laugh my ass off.

"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.

4:00 "That mean it's good for fat kids" I almost spit out my drink. Holy shit 😂

OMG the manchild tantrum had me crying! Your improv skills are still my favorite thing about your channel.

Me 2019: "no way i could tell apart crappy headphones from good ones" Me 2021, watching Dankpods: "oh my gosh! I hear a difference!"

I love how happy he gets when he discovers they have mics, the man baby we wish we all could be!

By far the best thing on this channel is just ominous “PLUM LIQUEUR” in the distance

"those wheels aren't even jdm" - I felt that.

I like the ones that are full sized but also for kids. There are few things more hilarious than watching my four-year-old jam out while she also desperately tries to keep them in place.

Poor frank having to deal with the stress of complaints, hope she pulls through

12:18 this it what I imagine murder sounds like

Someone needs to make a DankPods bingo card set. Panels like "pog cell" "the 1 grit" and "mic test"

0:48 “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 blame to Frank as she is unable to argue back” stuff like this is why i love this channel

When he said there was another "test" for the headphones, I instantly knew it would involve Scarlett Fire.

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.

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 tantrum about ferrero rocher's totally caught me off guard and had me actually outwardly laughing. Thanks for that!

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

6:51 hey man that's a pretty average size

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.

My uncle got my cousins a pair of AirPods max’s EACH. Ryan’s toy review has never sounded this good.

Freaking love this channel. Can't decide whether "hurt myself in my confusion" or the second batch of "plum liqueur!" was funnier to me.

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.

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

"those wheels aren't JDM and not for my vintage Honda" literally every JDM nerd ever

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!

0:18 Even when I was a young kid, these things terrified me.

9:13 lol why did that actually sound like a good beat drop???

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.

The breathy wheeze-laugh when something catches his attention is the most infectious thing.

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!

11:39 straight up turned the frog phones into a double clef

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.

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

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

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 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

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.

I cry-laughed at the Tantrum test, I really needed that today 😂

7:07 lmfao this is hilarious

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

Even through my phone speaker or iPad, I can still hear the quality difference between the headphones

“Cute but one of the shortest things I’ve ever seen” that’s what she said

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

"Denkpods is confused" "it hurt itself in its confusion" *-5 hp*

10:46 man i can't count how many times I've heard this tantrum amongst adults

the sheer amount of creativity this man puts in his stories.

7:09 I love that “uHhH” 😂

The man child tantrum test is my favorite dank pods test of all time. Hahaha 🤣

Sometimes I forget dank is a car guy, that JDM wheel tantrum caught me off guard 😂

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-

happy holidays, dank, i love your videos and i hope you have a wonderful new years.

After the move outrage the user gets confused so look out for that

The tantrum segment at 10:37 is pure gold, perfect to send to someone without context as a form of rickroll

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)

This is one of the best yet 😂 the mic test on this was the best ever just like oh yeh, it has a microphone!

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

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.

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)

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

"the tantrum test" needs to be a PSA for prospectus parents. AHAHAHAHAHAHA

11:34 actually had me laughing. I didn't think they'd get that damaged.

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.

Lost it at "I hurt myself in my confusion"! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

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!

"Look how handsomely that's yellowed", boy I hope someone says that about me when I go obsolete.

The word tolerating had me spitting my drink 😂

I am LOVING those blue and orange headphones, that colour is a massive vibe!

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.

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 now would like to see the man-child tantrum test on all future headphone reviews.

really nailed the manchild act with the jdm wheels fit lmao

It never ceazes to amazes me how these shitphones turn proper jazz into elevator tunes.

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)

My sleepy eyes made me read this as "Headphones made FROM children" and woke me up. Now I can't sleep at all

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!

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

"Cute cable but it's also one of the shortest things I've ever seen." That's what she said.

"I said I wanted *plum liquer* with my ferero rocher! IT"S NOT A FERERO ROCHER WITHOUT *PLUM LIQUER*!" fucking. DYING.

12:04 "I hurt myself in my confusion!" I love the Pokémon reference.

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’m envious of how happy this man is

the reason why the jbls held is honestly probably the hinges. for one, moving bits like hinges are often reinforced with metal or harder plastic on "higher end products" (aka anything thats not a rally cheap bootleg), and even if they arent, they have more points to give naturally rather than breaking.

Listening to this thru my AirPods Max with ANC on. Dynamic audio is only on when ANC and Passthru is on. I love to listen to the audio comparisons and hear the nice bass come through.

7:14 I recoiled at the potential paper cuts...

I live for the little essays he writes every time the camera goes out of focus.

alright I'm gonna start saying "I'd let that devalue in my home" now

11:56 I can´t spot any driver. No wonder it sounds so muffled and metallic soundwaved bouncing around uncontrolled in the shell.
