![]() Designįor better or worse, the head(amame) look almost nothing like other headphones. This means that the head(amame) will likely comfortably fit any size of ear, but the overall design is a bit on the bulky side. Brainwavz XL pads are recommended, but you can use any standard pad of that size. The head(amame) are full-sized, over-ear headphones that use a pair of round 110mm ear pads. The head(amame) are quite large and require 110mm round ear pads. Compatible with standard Headphone Earpads”.Fully 3D Printable on most mainstream printers (Ender 3 and Prusa i3’s).Leverages slicing software and geometry to cancel out reflections.Based on the Peerless by Tymphany 40mm driver (they sound incredible).In case you are missing out, here is how we got the name “head(amame)”.Ī little bit more about the headphones specifically: “After 100’s of design hours, countless spools of filament, and several rage inducing failed prints, we are finally at a point where we are proud to share these beans with the world. About a year ago, he posted his initial design on Reddit, and someone described them as “looks like edamame bro.” Inspiration flashed, and the name stuck. Morgan Andreychuk, the creative force behind the head(amame) headphones and Vector Finesse, originally described them as his “main COVID project,” proving something good can come from adversity. I have a new pair of Symphones V8.1 drivers on hand that I’ll try out as well. With some internet help I fashioned new driver mounts to hold 46mm drivers, opening up the use of any of the many available aftermarket Grado headphone drivers. To try the 46mm Symhones drivers I had to fabricate new driver mount pieces. For this article I purchased both driver sizes and will compare the two. The head(amame) were originally designed around the 40mm Tymphany version (impedance: 32.9 Ohms, efficiency: 89.60 dBA), but have recently been updated to support the 50mm version (impedance: 31.6 Ohms, efficiency: 98.10 dBA) as well. Tuned and modified, sure… but clearly the Tymphany drivers are capable of fantastic sound.ģD printed headphones based on Peerless Tymphany drivers seemed like a good place to start my DIY journey. Just to be clear, these are a pair of approximately USD$11 drivers providing the sonic duties for nearly USD$1000 headphones. In headphone circles, it’s fairly common knowledge that Kennerton Audio Equipment uses the Peerless 50N25PR00-32 in their well respected Vali headphones. Featuring excellent sound quality and performance, these drivers are a premium alternate to the typical cheap, off-the-shelf headphone drivers.” – Peerless If you purchase the Tymphany drivers directly from Vector Finesse, they come both impedance matched and already mounted in custom 3D printed holders. Along with their high sensitivity and low THD, these drivers offer extended high frequency response, optimal clarity, and smooth bass performance. “Peerless headphone drivers are designed for both over-ear and on-ear platforms. I’ve only had a 3D printer for a few months, and if you are considering one, I can say it’s well worth the investment. That’s good news for readers of this article who are new to 3D printing. So, for now, I’m relying on the hard work of someone else in creating the object file. That’s a skill I’m learning to do myself. Of course, someone has to create the original 3-dimensional file. I’m firmly in the beginner camp that is capable of downloading a file and using a piece of software to “slice” (a little 3D printing lingo) the file into a set of instructions that the specific model of printer can use. On the other side of the equation is the software that creates a file for the printer to read and translate into a plastic sculpture. The 3D printed parts for the head(amame). The filament (resembling string trimmer line) typically comes on a 1Kg roll, and is available in a variety of colors and compositions, each with differing properties such as strength and flexibility. On one side is the printer itself, a physical device, which essentially consists of a heated nozzle that can be moved in 3 dimensions and that extrudes melted plastic filament. If you are unfamiliar with 3D printing, there are two main components. 3D printers are becoming near ubiquitous, and although I’m a fairly late adopter, I’m jumping in with both feet. Sure, we’re missing actual robot butlers (don’t tell that to my Roomba – he’s a bit self-conscious), flying cars, and self-tying sneakers (turns out I’m wrong on this one), but we do have the ability to create something from seemingly nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the future.
