Description

Factory Clearout Sale

As part of our efforts to clear out our inventory, we are offering certain products at a discount. These products are extremely limited and are unique in a number of different ways. Read the description for full details.

All kits that are listed as “Factory Sale” are final sale, meaning that we will not be able to offer refunds once you purchase.

What makes these unique? We’re offering these Headphones kits in Blue, and assembled. Typically, they’re only available in Black, and in kit form.

Description

The Ploopy Headphones includes a fully-assembled, fully-tested set of headphones and an amplifier board. Note that you will have to do about five minutes of easy assembly work before the Headphones can be used. This is strictly so that we can package the Headphones more easily during shipping, and no tools will be necessary to complete the assembly.

Included with every set of Headphones:

  • Ploopy Headphones, tested for frequency response
  • Amplifier, programmed and tested
  • TRS cable Y-splitter
  • 2x TRS cable
  • Wire wrapper
  • USB-A to USB-C cable

The assembly instructions you will need can be found here.

You can find the full technical documentation on our Github wiki. The documentation includes how to change the EQ of the amplifier board, how we measure frequency response, full assembly instructions, and many other things.

Headphones Signal Chain

The Ploopy Headphones signal chain is as follows:

  • The Ploopy Headphones are plugged into the Amplifier board via TRS cable.
  • The Amplifier board provides signal amplification and on-board EQ.
  • The Amplifier is plugged into a computer via USB. USB provides power to the Amplifier board and Headphones, as well as the digital audio signal.

Note that the Ploopy Headphones are not particularly portable, as they require a large amount of power. Plugging them into a mobile device will likely drain the device’s battery quickly.

We STRONGLY recommend that you do not plug other headphones into the Ploopy Headphones amplifier. The Ploopy Headphones amplifier board is specifically designed to operate with the Ploopy Headphones. You should consider it as part of the headphones, not part of your signal chain. There is a significant chance you will damage other equipment if you interface it with the Ploopy Headphones amplifier board.

Firmware and Tuning

Want to load new firmware onto your Ploopy Headphones amplifier board? Loading new firmware is fast and easy, and doesn’t require anything except your computer and a paper clip (or tweezers, wire, or something metal and thin). Check out our guide on loading new firmware here.

Tuning the EQ on the Ploopy Headphones is fast and easy. The Headphones Toolbox is a powerful, open-source GUI created by George Norton that can be used to quickly and easily shape the sound of the Headphones. We highly recommend it.

Frequency Response

We publish a frequency response of the Ploopy Headphones measured by us across a representative sample of units. These units were all built by us, using our manufacturing methods and quality control processes. Your kit assembly process may differ from ours, by accident or on purpose. For that reason, we can’t guarantee the frequency response of any Headphones built from a kit.

We personally believe that following the instructions exactly will result in a pair of Headphones that matches our published frequency response. However, if your Headphones don’t match the published frequency response, we unfortunately won’t consider that a valid reason for a warranty claim.

Volume

The maximum volume of the Headphones is one that we consider to be adequate and safe for extended listening. However, we have received feedback that these Headphones are not particularly loud. If you listen to your Headphones at what may be considered a loud volume, these Headphones likely will not deliver the volume that you require.
