Great idea! I will definitely try this one! Thanks!
are a genius kip
my freaking earbuds keep breaking..
Kip you are a fucking genius
Your commentary for every video is great. You know exactly what you are going to say and you do so articulately. Thank you. 5 stars.
Lol, looks like he gained back his total $170 dollars spent on those noise canceling ear phones from the money he made making this video :P brillian plan Kip, turn your down in the rut opportunity into some producer rewards...
will this work with earbud earphones.(like the ones that come with ipod)
just put on the earbuds and then on the earmuffs, u got urself a noisecancelling headset!:D
i think if u put on the earbud
i would have to agree. i bought a pair of DJ style headphones. sure they look cool and sound great but, i got to hand it to you. these would beat out my skullcandy head phones any day. thanks 4 the tip.
happy hacking
I never thought about it, but thats the best money saving idea ever!!! I wish i didn't buy my Bose Noise Canceling Headphones v.2. waste of 210$!
are people rating this so low? This is an amazing idea.
the guys who rated it low are the ones who spent hundreds of dollars on sennheiser earphones before seeing this.
Seinheisers are expensive because they don't just physically cancel out noise, they emit this electronic pulse, that's why it gets quieter, because that sound blocks out other sounds.
Because the ones I got here are able to turn on and off. A red LED comes on when it's on.
If you're interested in passive noise canceling, the HD280 from Sennheiser reduces ambient noise by 33 dB. Also, they sound phenomenal. The price point is $100, well below active noise-canceling headphones. You can get them for $80 if you wait for a sale.
You my friend are a genius, I love your videos
.
Man You are smart!!! I am going to download this video. Thank you kipkay thank you.
keep up the work
but it is not ok if u are a musician or a sound engineer as you need those sound quality from the earphone like seinheiser, shure or ultimate ears.
anyway thats a very very good video. i love it alot. 5 stars!! hope u get more money coming in.. haha
You're My HeRo :P
Another great idea. Great reverb
I can't believe I have never thought of this! If they only made noise canceling headphones cheaper, we wouldn't have to do this...we should start making these and selling them, so people stop buying the expensive headphones.
duuude all your things..i know how to do most of them lol! but still u actually put em on metacafe anyway props
why dont you make an xray vision glasses that could see thru clothes
ill bet 5 stars for it
hey kip, big fan but gotta tell ya, thats an old one. we did much the same on flights overseas in the military.
I did not evan think to do this
I bought some AU$10 headphones, installed them in the exact earmuffs (AU$25), and they work surprisingly well. If there's a radio in the background, it won't eliminate it entirely, but I can now listen to quieter music and not be too bothered. Chatter is reduced to be still audible, but you can't really tell what they are saying.
However, I do wear glasses (thin frame) and the pads on the earmuffs do press them in tightly, even after adjustment of the earmuffs. I took my glasses off and found them to be far more comfortable. Another reason to get laser surgery. :)
Thanks for the video!
thanks Kipkay...I found NRR 34 by PYRAMEX on ebay for $15, can't wait to get them
That video is from cnettv.com
Kipkay is da man, as always!!!
great idea, but these aren't noise canceling headphones, they're just noise reducing...
I have done this before with a set of gunshot earmuffs and the earbud sized headphones that came with my Mp3 player.
I just put in the buds and put on the earmuffs over them.
I was able to cut my lawn without having to get a pair of larger louder headphones.
That's not noise canceling, that's noise blocking. Noise canceling earphones send out negative sound waves against the soundwaves the noise makes, so it cancels out.
When I saw this genius idea, I went to Home Depot too see the earmuffs there, and there was a 21Db one, and i got confused with the ratings, does this mean this cancels more or less than 23Db?
TO think i was $10 away from saving up for those Noise Canceling Gaming Headsets....
That is seriously clever.
Thank you for this video. I made these today and they work wonderfully, especially when mowing the lawn!! It was tough finding the earmuffs, but Cabelas.com finally had them. Thank goodness; thanks Kipkay
im a huge fan of your videos kipkay, but i just wanted to add that possibly the reason the sennheiser earphones cost so much more is that they are of much higher sound quality than the other ones you used. anyways i really liked it, like all of your other vids
if u sold the stuff u dont need any more once u make it out of toothpics and marsh mellows
You are a genius. I can barely hear a thing when I have these things on.
THIS IS COOL IDEA
I made this and it works soo well. I use them when I mow and it helps past the time when your listening to music.
u are too cool
What many people don't realize is that noise canceling often treats audio as "noise" and reduces its quality significantly. So $170 for headphones that make my muzak sound like it's coming from an answering machine with a pillow over it? No thanks! This passive solution is much better.
on how to save money if everyone knew about all ur money saving tips they'd proubably would save at least a few thousand dollars
god dam genius! ima gonna go make me a pair o them! 5 stars bro
a norwegian shooter and o want 1 of those howard
Another great Video. 5 Stars
why not whack the sienheisers in there instead and get some crazy shit going lol
What's your education???
simply brilliant.
Well done mate, 5 stars.
I've been using a pair that I made for work like the ones you made. Leave it up to you to make money from it. Congrats!
Kip , thanks man !
Hope u make lots of $$$ with this one.
Great one! Keep it up! I want more! Five stars.
And my God! It worked like a charm!
And it only cost €15.
Thanks a lot!
genius, dude!!!
...it again. You are Mr. Wizard!!
am really wondering how you come up with these ideas.youre great man
Your are the Kip ma kay :P
ill definitely make 1!!!
... but still, I would guess, pretty effective
I don't mean to be a dick about this, but that's not an acutal "noise canceling" headphone. That's not how noise cancelation work. But it is a good idea. The only thing is that you may have a cheap pair of headphones that blocks out a good ammount of abient noise, but the quality isn't comparable to the pcx250. If yo dont mind paying $170, it's better off to get the sennheiser.
