Maker pudjam667 revealed a pair of headphones that don’t just play music – they have an entire CD player, remote control, battery, disc storage and even a jewel case compartment strapped to your head.
This particular pair of headphones with a built-in car CD player is a testament to his philosophy of creation for creation’s sake. Weighing about 2 pounds, the headset has a functional CD player with decent skip protection, according to pudjam667. There are spindles for extra CDs and a compartment for the jewel case of the currently playing disc so you can show off your music choice – Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories was his first spin, a nod to the retro vibe.

People who have met him in person at CanJam NYC said his creations “sound pretty damn good” despite their ridiculousness. The headphones are a functional audio device with drivers that eleven-fu initially worried would “implode” a user’s head at high volumes but later admitted they’re not as bad as they look. Suggestions for additions like a fold-down screen or a cupholder flooded the Reddit thread, indicating the community’s enthusiasm to take it to the next level.
Functionally the headphones are a DIY engineering marvel. The car CD player means skip resistance for a device worn on the move. The remote control means you can change tracks without fumbling and the battery makes it portable (though runtime is unknown). The jewel case compartment is a quirky touch that lets you display your album art like a badge of honor.
