1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:07,279
there are a lot of headphone stands out there ones that clip to your desk ones

2
00:00:04,520 --> 00:00:11,880
that sit on top of your desk ones with unusual Aesthetics and ones that mount

3
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:17,000
to the back of your monitor the problem with most of these Solutions however is

4
00:00:14,519 --> 00:00:21,080
that my teleprompter isn't working so you'll have to just give me a

5
00:00:21,080 --> 00:00:28,800
minute sorry but the problem with most of these Solutions is that they're

6
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:31,599
either very expensive poorly constructed

7
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:36,280
or some combination of the two so today's video is a bit of a two-parter

8
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:40,840
no no just one video two segments of one video it's all good where we'll be

9
00:00:37,719 --> 00:00:43,680
taking a look at an underappreciated gem

10
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:50,000
from Silverstone the ebaa 01 headphone stand and giving our audience the

11
00:00:46,399 --> 00:00:52,840
opportunity to design the next addition

12
00:00:50,000 --> 00:01:04,320
to silverstone's headphone holder lineup a wall-mounted aluminum headphone stand

13
00:01:04,320 --> 00:01:10,960
the course our HX 1200i power supply delivers 80 plus Platinum efficiency for

14
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:15,479
quiet efficient power and Corsair link digital for advanced monitoring and

15
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:19,799
control click this spot right here to learn

16
00:01:17,159 --> 00:01:23,640
more so here's my problem and it's a first world problem to be sure but one

17
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:28,159
that I know at least some of you can relate to even if not to quite the same

18
00:01:25,479 --> 00:01:33,640
degree I have a lot of headphones I do reviews of them and any headph phone

19
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:36,079
comparison without side by side backtack

20
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:40,520
listening is completely worthless because it takes a matter of seconds for

21
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:45,680
our brains to adjust to a new sound signature and forget what the last thing

22
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:50,320
we were listening to sounded like so having some kind of organizational

23
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:54,719
system for my headphones other than throw them in the pile is a bit of a

24
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:59,680
must for me and that's where headphone stands come in this one I have that

25
00:01:57,159 --> 00:02:03,680
Clips to your desk is pretty cool but while it does a great job of avoiding

26
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:08,599
the pitfalls of most other headphone stands and most DIY Solutions it's

27
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:14,319
stable and doesn't damage the foam padding of the headband it was IMO

28
00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:21,120
overpriced for its plastic construction and yes I said was uh from what I know

29
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:22,720
it's discontinued now anyway if you're

30
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:26,560
looking for something freestanding there's actually a ton of options out

31
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:31,599
there though but most of them kind of suck for some reason or another so when

32
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:36,920
I first saw the ebaa 01 in the Silverstone suite at CES this year I was

33
00:02:33,640 --> 00:02:38,879
like floored that I hadn't seen anyone

34
00:02:36,920 --> 00:02:44,720
talking about this product I mean sure it doesn't do anything particularly

35
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:47,879
groundbreaking in terms of functionality

36
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:50,120
it's got a base an ARM and then like a

37
00:02:47,879 --> 00:02:54,680
wide contoured hanger that is long enough to hold one or two large pairs of

38
00:02:52,239 --> 00:02:59,840
headphones but it was the quality of the construction and the price that blew me

39
00:02:56,640 --> 00:03:01,760
away because I wish I could still find

40
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:07,680
find the archive to drop for it but people bought a metric butt ton of these

41
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:13,440
where is that thing yeah this thing people bought a

42
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:18,599
ton of these on Mast drop for not that cheap and frankly it's not that nice I

43
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:21,599
only bought one of them actually over a year ago because there just aren't that

44
00:03:20,319 --> 00:03:28,360
many great options and I needed something to put headphones on while we take b-roll of them and on top of that

45
00:03:25,799 --> 00:03:38,760
people are crapping themselves over this thing at $40 I mean sure it's nice but

46
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:41,080
$140 when the eb01 with its solid

47
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:45,840
anodized aluminum construction I mean you could kill a man with this

48
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:51,959
thing is on the market for less than half of that price anyway as excited as

49
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:57,000
I was about this puppy I knew it wasn't going to solve my problem anyway because

50
00:03:55,239 --> 00:04:02,360
instead of an ocean of headphones all over my desk I'd have a sea of fre

51
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:06,760
standing ebaa 01 holders all over my desk and so I'm not really getting any

52
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:11,560
space back so I asked Silverstone well when's the wall mounted version coming

53
00:04:09,319 --> 00:04:15,760
right I mean there is a wall mounted headphone holder available from a

54
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:18,959
company called K&M but it's another plastic one and I frankly didn't think

55
00:04:17,239 --> 00:04:23,120
it was that nice and by the time I spent $20 us and ship it across the border

56
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:26,520
from B&H which is the only place I found it I'd feel better just buying something

57
00:04:25,280 --> 00:04:30,000
a little bit nicer in the first place and so they went oh well we don't have

58
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:36,280
plans to expand the product line this isn't selling very well so I was like

59
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:39,919
what and I decided to take matters into my own hands and over the last four

60
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:45,039
months I've been poking and prodding and getting Silverstone to agree to expand

61
00:04:42,639 --> 00:04:50,080
the lineup if I can prove that there's a demand for a really nice and not

62
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:55,560
horrifically overpriced aluminum this time well-mounted headphone stand but

63
00:04:52,639 --> 00:05:00,440
there's a catch I'm not that well suited for modeling work if you catch my drift

64
00:04:58,280 --> 00:05:04,199
so I won't be designing the wallmounted headphone stand NOP that's where you the

65
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:09,280
lineus tech tips and 3D printing communities come in we've partnered with

66
00:05:06,280 --> 00:05:11,479
minifactory tocom to do something really

67
00:05:09,280 --> 00:05:16,520
cool here so navigate to the page linked in the video description to submit your

68
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:21,720
3D model for the wallmounted headphone stand that you want Silverstone to make

69
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:26,280
out of anodized aluminum don't worry if you're not a 3D design expert you can go

70
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:31,440
to the link anyway and vote on your favorite designs that were submitted by

71
00:05:28,479 --> 00:05:34,639
other users my mini Factory and this is kind of their thing so that you know

72
00:05:33,199 --> 00:05:41,319
that every design you download from their site is actually possible to print

73
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:43,240
will print every single submitted design

74
00:05:41,319 --> 00:05:47,199
then the top 10 entries will be determined by a combination of votes and

75
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:51,240
Linus Media Group staff judgment and will be shipped to our headquarters at

76
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:55,600
that time I will make another video to show off the finalists with a bunch of

77
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:59,280
different headphones on them so the 3D printing enthusiasts out there can

78
00:05:57,199 --> 00:06:04,199
decide which one they like and want to print off knowing that it'll actually

79
00:06:01,319 --> 00:06:08,560
work awesome but then it gets better a single design one of them will be chosen

80
00:06:06,639 --> 00:06:14,280
from the finalists by my team and silverston folks to go into production

81
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:16,440
as a real product every finalist will

82
00:06:14,280 --> 00:06:20,560
receive the aluminum version of the winning design in silver or black

83
00:06:18,919 --> 00:06:26,039
according to their choice with the designer of the actual winning product

84
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:33,960
receiving both silver and black ones and a 100% exclusive gold colored anodized

85
00:06:30,599 --> 00:06:35,759
headphone stand of their own design so

86
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:40,160
get to it folks you can find the full details of the contest including the

87
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:43,440
link in the video description and submissions will be accepted until

88
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:46,960
Monday June the 8th we want you guys to have a little bit of time to spend on

89
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:50,680
these to come up with something like that'll really be awesome because it's

90
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:53,199
going to be like a real product so I think that's pretty much it other than

91
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:57,840
that the timeline's up in the air so stay tuned on social media for more

92
00:06:55,639 --> 00:07:01,440
updates guys thanks for watching like this video if you liked it dislike it if

93

you dis liked it also leave a comment if you have a comment about all of this do

94
00:07:03,639 --> 00:07:08,120
you think this is kind of a cool idea it was sort of me pushing Silverstone

95
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:12,240
really hard to do this so I hope you think it's a good idea also linked in the video description we have a link to

96
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:16,160
our Forum we have one where you can buy a cool t-shirt like this one one where you can give us a monthly contribution
