Head(amame) Headphones Evolve: From DIY Kits to Professional 3D-Printed Audio Gear

Experience the next wave of 3D-printed audio with Head(amame) Pro headphones—where innovation meets professional-grade sound and design.

From a Bold Idea to a Game-Changing DIY Audio Kit

If you’re a bit of a tech enthusiast or an audiophile who loves a splash of innovation, the story of Head(amame) headphones is one you’ll want to hear. It all started with Andreychuk Morgan, a visionary who believed firmly that 3D printing was not just a gimmick but the perfect tool for crafting top-tier products without the usual high price tags. That philosophy gave birth to the first Head(amame) headphones—a truly ingenious DIY assembly kit that allowed fans to print their very own headphones on their home 3D printers.

Imagine that: ordering a kit, choosing your drivers, picking your model, and then printing the parts yourself. Pretty spectacular, right? The cost for these kits hovered around $130 plus the filament needed for printing, making high-quality, customizable audio gear accessible to the everyday tinkerer and audiophile alike.

Stepping It Up: Introducing Head(amame) Pro

But progress waits for no one. The Head(amame) team pushed the boundaries further, debuting the Head(amame) Pro—a professional-grade headset that takes 3D printing to a whole new level.

Andreychuk teamed up with Brian Hayden from Capra Audio, a seasoned figure in the audio community, to craft these standout headphones. The Pro model is a featherweight open-back design weighing just 280 grams, featuring glass diaphragms and a Kevlar-reinforced body. But here’s the kicker—it’s not a DIY kit anymore. Instead, it’s a precision-engineered masterpiece produced on Pantheon Designs’ industrial FDM 3D printers.

The Marvel of Glass Diaphragms and Kevlar Durability

What truly sets the Head(amame) Pro apart is its use of glass diaphragms thinner than a human hair. This ultra-thin diaphragm offers a sonic foundation so precise that audiophiles usually only find it in headphones priced over $1,500. The glass provides outstanding stiffness and damping, giving the sound a clarity and detail that’s jaw-dropping.

The Kevlar-reinforced ASA filament used for the frame adds strength without bulk—perfect for those long listening sessions. Plus, the velour memory foam ear pads and breathable headband make comfort an absolute priority.

Plug and Play Audio—No Amplifiers Needed

One of the joys of the Head(amame) Pro headphones is how user-friendly they are. Despite their high-end tech, they don’t require an external amplifier. Just plug them into your phone, laptop, or even your gaming controller and get ready to be blown away. That’s a rare combo of professional-grade performance and everyday convenience.

And although the Pro isn’t a DIY kit, every part is still 3D printed. This approach slashes costs by skipping expensive injection molds, a move that keeps innovation affordable without sacrificing quality.

A Repairable Future with 3D-Printed Spare Parts

Here's a detail many fans will appreciate: backers on Kickstarter get access to the 3D model files of the Pro headphones. This means if anything breaks or wears down, you can print a replacement part yourself—assuming you have a 3D printer handy. Otherwise, Head(amame) also offers spare parts directly, promising longevity and sustainability rarely seen in audio gear.

These Pro headphones have already made waves in the HiFi community, receiving a warm welcome at the CanJam headphone show, with reviews expected to hit soon.

Looking Ahead: Upgrades for DIY Fans

Andreychuk isn’t stopping here. Drawing from the expertise gained through the Pro model’s development, he plans to update the entire Head(amame) line. For those who already own the original DIY kits, upgrades to the printing files are slated for release in 2026, promising enhanced quality and performance.
