A spark of inspiration simmered in the Dekoni office when our friend DMS suggested he wanted a vacation to New York City. Now if you don’t know DMS, he is an headphone reviewer based in chilly buffalo with 70k+ subscribers. Typically he is a calm, well explained individual on his channel but I thought we could get him out of his comfort zone and do something out of the ordinary.
A Headphone Hero, forklifts, mallets, throwing, and an HD600, all on the docket for our first day. What do all of these things have in common? Well we tried to destroy my personal pair of HD600’s inside of a Headphone Hero to put it to the test. I myself had the utmost confidence that the Headphone Hero could handle anything we tried to damage it with.
Of course, all of this would have been for nothing if we had a broken pair of HD600’s. We confirmed with DMS that they worked before entombing them in the Hero. The production team stepped out to the rear garage of our facility and my first urge was to just slam it against the wall. You can’t sneak around when it comes to showing SKB’s rugged design, it is up to military specifications for protection. With all my strength I chucked my HD600s to the concrete.
Phil, our camera operator, had trouble keeping the thrown headphone hero in the shot. I handed the case to DMS and asked him to do the same. While he was busy handling that business, I ran around the fork lift, grabbed the mallets and started hammering away like a mad man. I wanted chaos and DMS subscribed to it.
The forklift menacing in the background was some killer foreshadowing, if you would like to see this scene unfold, head on over to the Dekoni Audio Youtube channel or check out the link below. Don’t forget to keep a lookout on DMS’ channel for his NYC blog, tracking his experience through Chinatown to Union Square.
If you are ready to subscribe your self to chaos, the video premieres December 9th, 1PM EST.
