you should put numbers around the dial and give things a score for how far them make it before dying

If I'm seeing this right, this device makes use of a 70/100 volt amplifier. For perspective on how absolutely stinky this thing is, that's the kind of amplifier that normally runs ALL the speakers in a grocery store. Or an airport.

I lost HARD at dankpods screaming in slowmotion LMFAO

I love how as soon as Wade recovered from his travel cold he started inhaling headphone fumes

Diablo, Mojo, Mojo 2 and now this thing. Wade is now the most dangerous audiophile in the world

It's not longer about the destruction, it's about how satisfying that destruction is.

"every machine is a smoke machine if you use it wrong enough"

i don't think i've ever seen headphones and earbuds legitimately RELEASE VISIBLE SMOKE in a dankpods video before. this is insane and i love it

I love the little puff of smoke; it’s like watching the soul of the headphones leaving the chassis

It would be fun if there was a "dial leaderboard" to see how far a set could go on the dial before they exploded

It might kill headphones in a second - but sadly also iPods....

3:26 mans literally went R2D2

The combination of Wade's maniacal laughter combined with the fact this contraption is some dodgy mate made box of death that 'probably' isn't an electrical hazard but still produces headphones to literally start smoking is just, in a word, incredible.

Would love to see him destroy a transparent bud just to see what happens inside

I've never seen Wade so happy. The pure joy he experiences popping those earphones/buds is a thing of beauty.

I was expecting something akin to the output of 555 based signal generator being fed into a MOSFET (it's an old design for blowing manky speakers up, but it's tried and tested), using an actual amplifier is nuts, and I totally approve.

That wasn't smoke, that was the soul of the headphones leaving their mortal shell.

I'd call this the electric chair of DAC's. It doesn't just amplify the sound, it straight up kills it

3:12 The laugher of a mad genius.

“This is gonna be used on the channel from now on.” *hasn’t been used since*

my favorite part of the machine is how huge the gain knob is. it absolutely could have been normal-sized, but bigger knob means bigger kills

That thing looks legitimately dangerous. It's so overkill and I love it.

7:51 closest thing to edging on KZfaq.

Love wades maniacal laughter and energy. He now holds the MOAHB. Mother Of All Headphone Blowerupper.

The oddest thing about this video is that the Crest headset had one of the best microphones featured on the channel thus far

"This is not a retail product" I am jack's complete and total lack of surprise at this revelation

the sadness that this has now killed the ipod for the drum streams :(

2:03 tragic foreshadowing :(

At this point it’s hard to tell who’s more dangerous, the nuggetphone bloweruppers or Wade himself.

This beast is the literal audio equivalent of using a full size woodchipper on small twigs

Already killed it and an iPod. Pro gamer.

7:33 Good to know the earphones I use on a daily basis smoke a little bit!

Whenever Wade blows up headphones I lower my volume in fear of ruining the headphones im currently using.

You know what this means, Wade, yes? WE NEED A SPECIAL! We need an episode ENTIRELY dedicated to blowing out all the earbuds and headphones the commercial amps COULD NOT KILL.

rip stream ipod

Hes in jail for arson 6:58

The mic demo stories are always entertaining.

You know it's great when the audio equipment review/commentary channel needs a fume hood

7:23 dankpod"s laugh had made me dying

Anything that survives this weapon of audio destruction deserves an award for being unkillable

This feels like a war crime against audio devices. Like I fully expect to see this in the Geneva convention

The microphone on that gaming headset was actually extremely nice. It's almost a shame it's attached to absolute cack ear cans.

Watching this after he fried the iPod, how ironic to hear "don't plug anything in here that you wanna keep"

I love how youtube only put this on my front page AFTER i watch thd vid where you killed it lol

Imagine being the guy who pulls this out of the attic in 60 years and plugging in not knowing that it does

I think I remember that the Cashies stink buds were notorious for somehow not dying by the mojo, so the sheer joy expressed when this thing did to them what is unspeakable, was hilariously enjoyable.

The sheer joy you get from destroying headphones is some of the best content on KZfaq. This video goes raw.

I'm so happy about this new killer. I was never a fan of the Diablo in terms of killing the dirty buds but this is a worthy successor to the Mojo. Also, the last mic sounded way better than it should have.

3:18 the insane cackle of a mad scientist seeing his evil plans come true

The power creep on the Headphone Blower-Uppers is insane, compare the Diablo and the Mojo 1, which rarely got kills, to this, where it just kills anything it touches.

This video absolutely made my day. The puffs of smoke were so satisfying to witness.

We’ve seen the USB Killer, but now we have a headphone killer.

Wade's laugh when the smoke fled for it's life was soo infectious

5:22 Very good in comparison to most headsets actually

Is that what they call burning in headphones?

This is truly incredible, dank you have levelled up with this box of death

2 things: 1. I was genuinely surprised and a bit startled seeing smoke out of those Apple headphones. 2. I think we need a chart for how long each headphone lasts until it breaks forever.

"Audio Weapon" is pretty a proper nomenclature considering that it is a steel box with a dedicated ARMING SWITCH

Cool Ranch flavoured carrots sounds like you’d just be saving time to me, not needing to get ranch out to dip them in.

"This is not a retail product, this not something you would want to sell to people as a retail product." *IVE GOT AN IDEA!!*

I’m glad he’s back. My wife asked why is blowing up headphones a video, and I gave her the lore.

7:11 Scarlet Fi-BOOFVFVF

The smoke is just the souls leaving the buds

Would be quite the miracle to find headphones that could survive this thing

5:14 that ain’t bad for mic quality

This machine is the definition of "There is no kill like overkill."

Imagine a survival horror game and the audio logs you come across are just these

I loved the last ones

i love the duality of this channel as sometimes you get really nice sounding headphones with the horrific ear on a stand and then videos like this where you get a sadistic australian guy cackling with glee over blowing up headphones

You should write a scale on the dial and start a leaderboard for how high different dirty buds get on it before blowing up.

I love the mic tests. I've love to see an upload of just all the mic tests.

the joy this man gets from trashing a few cheap earbuds warms my hearth

If anyones curious, that amp can put out 120 watts @100v. Usually, you would be running 10-20 ceiling speakers off of something like this. Headphones usually operate on LESS THAN A WATT. You could probably pop 100 headphones AT THE SAME TIME with this.

The amount of joy from Wade destroying these headphones makes this possibly the funniest episode yet

4:52 Fart of death

@1:25 holy moly you almost said dedicated ram ^_^

The Crest mic was actually surprisingly pretty good, and the sound quality coming out of the headphones themselves before they just kind of... died... seemed undistorted and generally OK as well. I know that wasn't a proper test, but for a $10 pair of headphones, I'm kind of impressed! Those seemed at least serviceable. And that Asena mic is, dare I say, quite good! Again, not bad for what I can only assume was just about the cheapest gaming headset around.

If this was sold as a retail product it would actually make a lot of money from the sheer fun of blowing headphones up. But might lose just as much from the lawsuits

6:26 I have those Edit: at least I THINK I have those

Straight up one of the funniest dank pods videos in a while

What I think happened with the over-ears making those weird noises is the amplifier going into 'protect' mode. It may be possible to disable or remove the protection circuitry and then the true power of the amp will be unleashed.

4:44 That $10 headset went quicker then the cheaper ones he did first.

This video is full of pure joy and I love it lol

4:32 why does this remind me of the big lez show?

4:51 that looks like the pikmin death animation

4:25 tech support

I want more episodes of speakers and earphones going through this, especially the iDog

honestly the crest mic wasnt as bad as i expected lol

I love the pure joy he gets from blowing up headphones

On 5:48 the volume potentiometer may have died before the speakers on the headphones, that may be why they didn't blow up

man blew up my headphones in the process

I'd love to see this thing tried on some planar magnetic headphones, would be a shame to destroy them but it'd be interesting to see if they fail differently if at all. (Planar magnetic headphones don't have tightly wound coils of wires like regular headphones so they might have a better chance of surviving, although the wire might melt/burn the diaphragm of the driver)

there needs to be an auction for a second one of these, I feel like someone would pay $10,000 for this

This has got to be one of the best DankPods video's in a long time. Absolute legend. And that custom box is truly the thing this channel was missing.

Bro has become auxenheimer

Your sadistic cackling brings me so much joy

One thing I can always count on is Dank’s killing machines will always have the funkiest names

In terms of headphone-detonator, we went from the equivalent of a tiny grenade to full-blown atomic bomb, mate we reached the big leagues now

The best way to kill headphones and seconds is plugging them into the wall

I’m so glad I found you again I was with you from before the break and you were and still are fun to watch thanks for giving me a great time and day
