Andreychuk teamed up with Brian Hayden of Capra Audio , who was an early head (amame) backer, to create the ultimate 3D-printed headphones. The Pro is a feather-light, open-backed style headphone, with glass drivers and a Kevlar-reinforced chassis. These are not a DIY kit; they are professionally 3D-printed by Pantheon Designs on industrial FDM machines.
The glass diaphragm, thinner than a human hair, provides an excellent base for tuning with unparalleled rigidity and damping. This revolutionary technology is found on only a few other headphones that cost over $1500. Head(amame) Pro are launching on Kickstarter starting at $319 for early bird backers.
These over-ear headphones are extremely light, weighing just 280 grams. They have velour-wrapped memory foam earpads and a breathable comfort strap. They do not require an amp and can be plugged right into a phone, laptop, or game controller.
Even though the Pro model isn’t a DIY kit, the headphones are still fully 3D-printed. That keeps costs down, since the company doesn’t need expensive injection molds. The parts are made on Patheon’s HS-Pro machines using ASA-Kevlar filament. Backers will receive the model files for the Pro, making the headphones completely repairable for years to come, if you have access to a 3D printer. You can also purchase replacement parts directly from Head(amame).
