He was really having an "off" week. 🤣

neather can i and i scanned through google

I can’t find these anywhere

Sounds good

Heros_Jani

True xD

never to tired to turn on the woofer

mostly material

odd, sounds intresting, yeah id like to see one too

Heros_Jani

Depends on the monitor, have two monitors with speaker, one is garbage amd the second one is actually usefull and is definetly enough to watch Youtube and musik, if youre tired to turn on the audio system

But all audio is bad through monitor speakers

Heros_Jani

The Audio isn't actually bad (watching it over monitor speaker)

the weird ears on a stand don't do in ears, only over ears, the ears compatible with in ears are like ridiculously expensive

The ears don’t fit buds since they aren’t the shape of actual ears, it’s a shame

dankpods why just immediately blew them up and didn’t even put them on the magic headphone recording ears. Also I think he ripped the paper lol

the mic was good the voice of dank is beautiful on anything

Yeah a lot of people said it but the audio was wierdly natural in my studio headphones

The Pixel Polygon

man you forgot to yell into the mic!

There’s actually a few different kinds of those. There where even with armature drivers - and those were kinda good. Could bough those for myself since there were no shop that sold them when I searched

These are the 2nd gen of this model. The originals had a different (i think prettier) design, but no mic or volume control. The sound was great, great passive noise control, but the wires would ruin it if you moved at all. I liked them more than the 2nd gen, and they lasted me nearly a decade.

I have a question with physically noisy cables. I just thought that's what happened, until I learned otherwise from you haha. Is it a cheap material thing? Or cheaply designed thing?

Same, would love to hear your Opinion on the Linkbuds, cause they're Open Back In-ear Buds.

Steven Stettler

Would love to hear your thoughts about the Sony linkbuds

NOICE

It’s all good mate, got some good smells here 🤌 also extra fronk is always welcome 😎

iPhone audio wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be, and stereo recording when you were trying to blow them up was kinda fun!

I’m legit so happy you kept your word on keeping the Le’ Phones to stress out every once and a while. And no worries mate, the audio was funny and at worst small potatoes. Happy love day!

I though you had the original ones Apple Made with the odd tip https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/520700-REG/Apple_M9394G_C_In_Ear_Headphones_for_iPod.html

Never even knew they made in-ears like this

man it mustve been annoying to try to make this. still worth the money though!

Furqan Nazhif

I rmb the ridiculous price this thing had.

The iPhone microphone was really good!

I need to share this, I have a pair of Samsung Galaxy bud pros, and I dropped them 30 to 40 feet off the ground... Onto concrete, and they made it. The case didn't even get scuffed.

Judging by the grot on the cable near the jack (as seen at 3:11), these should've been put in the wash a couple of times by the seller. btw I agree with the other patrons about the audio being perfectly cromulent in this video. gg iPhone.

I had these buds and I hated them! None of the tips fit, they would fall out of my ear if someone looked at them wrong and the cable noise was awful. Someone did you a service selling you used buds mate. Loved the vid tho!

At least you didnt get covid this week :)

I had these headphones! Yeah the cable was annoying and of course I lost the dang things.

Alex Glaz

I had these back in the day! They felt like an audiophile product to my teenage ears. Apple also swapped them out of warranty for me a few times so I had a functional pair longer than most.

I was trying to remember from the thumbnail why they looked so familiar. It was the ear tip holder that reminded me i had these. The fit was really good. Shame about that damn cable!

Fun fact!: These are dual driver IEMs. I actually got a pair of them for my collection, just to have them. With EQ, they're spectacular, but you are absolutely right about the cable being just the worst.

I really like the Videos about the Sound of Apple Products. Do you plan to do one on the Homepod Mini?

Yeah I had these when I had an iPod classic. I absolutely loved them and used them for a few years. These were also probably one of the reasons why I moved away from Apple, as when I needed replacements for the in ear silicon bits, they didn't sell any, and every now and then I would get zapped by the actual earphones via the mesh. I liked the sound at the time, but once I started looking around, I didn't go back. edit: oh and the cable wore out horribly around the jack and the ear pieces, I actually switched them out a couple of times because the warranty was too good for the actual product.

I used these in high school. whenever they broke as apple cables do I would take them apart and solder them onto other dirtybuds so i could continue to use them. Mine came in a square case though so they may not be the same model as these. High school was like 2007-11 for me. I dont think I used them after 09 though.

Tell us about your week in a video?

Man, you can hear his pain

The iPhone microphone is not bad to yell into

I used those for years before getting my first AKGs

You need to get a cheapo speaker amp to blow things up. That way nothing will survive… I would hope so anyway.

Latest scam/issue I've noticed when looking for a 4th gen touch is listings that say they ship from the US but if you go to the seller's profile their location is China where you know it's gonna be a cheap and dirty "refurbish". Amazingly I did find a 32GB one from a US electronics warehouse clearer, still has the white protective shipping sleeve on it. Sadly they sold out before I could buy a second one as spare after seeing the first is legit

the tortured existence of the lephonys brings warmth to my cold heart

I couldn't tell the audio was any different. lol

I got the same thing from my grandma and grandpa thought it was fake

The bud bits look like anal beads

JokersJuicyAss

Man, now I'm getting worried because I just bought the first season of Fall Guy for my dad on eBay, it won't come into at most the 24th of March, well after a month from his birthday, and probably when it comes all of the DVDs will be broken

You should enable comments on these!

Forbidden suppository!

Honestly not having the fancy microphone made it feel much more personal. I like when the after shows are pretty casual with you just talking about something you're interested in, and this just made it feel more like that

Gotta give Apple credit, the microphone on the new iPhone is pretty good

I liked the audio. Made it feel like we were on a facetime call.

The audio isn’t even that bad lol

meze 99s all the way, better build quality

I swear i got a pair of these with an iPhone I had then when the buds died I was the case for ages to hold other ear buds

eBay is truly shocking, unbelievable that they can't keep their grubby hands off stuff you have bought. Great video though and the mic quality was fine despite being your phone!

This happened today and obviously getting a refund.

Got a good deal on a boxed MEGA CD and seller just waited 3 days and cancelled with no contact and eBay said the seller cancelled because I requested to cancel which they promptly said thats obviously a lie from the seller. But they said that all they could do was suspend the seller for a month. Thanks eBay... It want my MEGA CD 😔 and I can't afford the prices they go for now. I hate eBay but all other alternatives are crap.

Sounds a bit weird but ok. They wheren't new?! eBay.. awful as always🤣

I bought these when i was in high school and oh man i hated them 🤣. I was always a bit of a bass head since i've always listened to EDM and these just didn't sound as good as i thought but that's just me probably

Dammit Frank, you had one job.

Ah, eBay... I got scammed by two different sellers trying to get my hands on a new 4th gen touch. Their money back guarantee didn't even refund me.

Haiku Oezu

Man I loved these and have been using them ever since they came out up until I moved to headphones. I don't use em anymore but still have a pair around from a couple years ago

Listening on my phone, I didn't really even notice the sound being bad.

If the laphonies die in a patron after show I think that after show should be made public because that I feel will be a historic day

Martino Bayley

Ah the return of the Laphony’s electric boogaloo

larsloveslegos

That's the luck of the draw from Ebay. It looks new or in fully working condition but has at least one or two things wrong with it

I had (probably still have) a pair of these. Regular Apple buds never fit my ears. Bought some early noise canceling Sony earbuds which hurt my ears. Finally bought these which didn't hurt and sounded okay though I wish they had ANC. For the price I should have widened my search since I'll bet there were better ones to choose from.

Honestly, Sound wasn't awful. Great video sorry you got some used buds that sucks

The laphony's remind me of my old Sony mdr-e828lp earbuds I had as a kid. Just super loud and virtually indestructible

I used to have a pair of these back when I used an iPhone 5 (and later 5s) mainly because the included buds would fall out of my ears quite easily (funny because that design of buds now fit better in my ears than airpods pros). I bought them at my local Apple store so maybe they weren't sold in Australian brick and mortar stores? (I live in Canada). Having bought mine new, I was actually able to experience how they sounded out of the box and they were actually good. The price was just high for what they were but chi-fi hadn't really taken off back then (this was 2013/14).

i specifically subscribe to watch things go wrong. the jank is not a bug, it's the key feature

finally just bought this subscription after wanting to since like 2020. I'm very happy.

I am a middle schooler and have the money, I AirPod maxes or meze 99 Classics

Perfect

The iPhone mic was surprisingly good tho, crazy how much better smartphones have gotten in the past several years.

eBay is the bane of DankPods' existence at this point

Now it looks like the 1grit has pimples 🤣

KingsNJenssons

i didnt even notice the mic quality

AYYY! RETURN OF THE MTV LAPHONY BUDS!!!!!! BEEN WAITING FOR THIS DAY!

Honestly, the iPhone mic sounds absolutely alright, be it with my phone's speaker and with my big stinky sound system. Absolutely fine. I enjoyed the video just as much as the other. I hope your weekend will be better than the week has been so far.

Had 2 pairs of these! I liked that design but the cable just keep getting filthy. The biggest flaw is the earplug, that thing got loose after half year using then someday you'll lose it somewhere.

Agreeing with other people, the sound quality on this one is surprisingly good!

I'm glad you left the Patreon as it is, I'm just weeks away from my bachelor's degree but money is still pretty tight and I think I would not have made the step to move on to Floatplane even though I like the project. Here you really get your money's worth for just about one Euro. Thanks for that :)

ManMachine

Sound quality is actually very decent.

It's sounds way better than I expected at the beginning Nice work IPhone

These iems actually contains dual balanced armature driver rather than conventional dynamic driver, which is also Apple’s only try with those type of driver

I feel bad for him that was a very unlucky video.. but I enjoyed it regardless lmao

Jan Kösters

I loved those IEM, they did sound nice (new and all). But the rubber cable skin got very sticky after a time and yes the cable did transfer every movement.

I have a pair of these, they don't completely suck? they are cheaply made tho.
