Unique Ol' Thumpy Design
Philip, the creator of the YouTube channel Pud's Small Batch Headphones, has developed unusual headphones called Ol' Thumpy. Their distinguishing feature is the two large spherical Helmholtz resonators attached to each speaker, which significantly enhance the low frequencies.
The principle of operation of the resonator
The author of the project explains: “Imagine the sound that occurs when air is blown out of a bottle of soda. Helmholtz resonator effect. In the case of the Ol' Thumpy, it is tuned to 60 Hz, which provides a deep bass sound unattainable with conventional headphone designs."
An assortment of unusual models
Philip produces limited editions of his unique headphones, producing from 20 to 50 copies of each model. They can be purchased from the official website of Pud's Small Batch Headphones. Each model has an original design solution. For example, the Polycule model is equipped with four ear pads, allowing two people to listen to music.
Functionality and quality
Despite their extravagant appearance, Philip's headphones are not just concept products. They are fully functional and made to high quality, demonstrating that unusual design can be combined with practicality.
Application and target audience
While using the Ol' Thumpy outdoors may raise some eyebrows, these headphones are ideal for listening to bass-heavy music at home. In addition, they may be of interest to DJs who often experiment with unusual accessories in their performances.

Wow, these Ol' Thumpy headphones look incredible! 😍 I wonder how deep the bass they can produce? Has anyone tried them?
Hans
Isabella, I heard that the bass in these is crazy! They say you can literally feel the air vibrating around you. But I was more interested in the Polycule with four ear pads. Imagine listening to music with a friend? 🎧🎧
Pierre
Guys, don't you think these headphones are too bulky? 🤔 I wouldn't risk going outside in them. Although it sounds tempting for home use!
Sofia
Pierre, I agree that they are not suitable for the street. But imagine how cool they will look on DJs in clubs! 🎉 I would love to see such a show.
Gerhard
It's all nonsense. Why do you need such bulky headphones? Ordinary in-ear ones do their job perfectly. This is just another marketing trick to pump money out of lovers of everything unusual.
Isabella
Hans, Polycule sounds interesting! 😊 Although I’m not sure I could listen to music for a long time with someone else. Sofia, you're right about the DJs! They would definitely make a splash in the club.

Gerhard, don't be such a skeptic! 😄 Sometimes unusual ideas lead to breakthroughs in technology. Who knows, maybe these Helmholtz resonators will become the new industry standard?
Hans
Alejandro, I completely agree! 👍 Innovation drives progress. And Philip is great for experimenting and creating such unique models. I wonder how long it takes to produce one pair?
