Apparently good transparent plastics are harder to work with, which is why most companies don't offer it as an option. Or at least that's what the CEO of Bambu Labs said when asked why the limited edition see-through printer wasn't commercially available.
Injection molds for transparent stuff are way more expensive. The mold cavity "wears out" sooner because the part can only be as smooth as the mold, and clear parts have to be significantly smoother than the dyed parts in order to be properly transparent and not just cloudy translucent.
I was locked up and the CL-5s were the best in terms of audio quality to price. The CL-20s were nice but the little swivel pegs broke really easily. I also had the green clear RCA tube TV, a crappy cleartunes radio, a clear electric razor and of course the clear Kentwood fan.
@@atrusofdni9581 those tube TVs were great. IMO it was a major downgrade when they started selling the LCD TVs. Even the RCA LCD TV's buttons would break after a short while and the cleartunes LCD tvs were even worse. In my state they don't allow remotes so you had to use the buttons on the TVs and they got used so much that they eventually broke on everyones LCD TV. I would love to see what is currently offered in terms of electronics for my states prisons, but unfortunately for the two vendors we were allowed to order from (JL Marcus and Union Supply) regular people can't access the catalogs, you need a current inmates DOC number to access them online, I tried my DOC number but it says I'm not currently locked up so I don't get access, lol.
I had a set of the clear ear buds in jail. They sounded really good for what they were. I brought them home with me to remember not to do dumb shit again. 😆🤣
I've not been fortunate enough to own any prison-grade electronics, but I did just get my hands on a genuine bona-fide MONO EARPHONE. I can't wait for the fidelity!
I have something even more obscure: Prison Skullcandies. SC made a prison edition of the Stims - transparent, a 3' short cord, and no mic (unlike the retail model Stims). Skullcandy doesn't even document the damn things exist.
Have a clear mp3 player from inside that had a 2.5 inch color non touch screen. There was a kiosk that I would connect it to that would download a massive catalog of music I could then choose from for I think $1.75 each song. Granted, this is from 2009ish. And it was absolutely awesome. Even obscure bands like Neutral Milk Hotel and MBV could be bought. Changed my time inside tbh. Had gel tipped earbuds that came with it that lasted about six months with daily use. I still have it somewhere in my dad’s basement and I’m dying to find it. There was an option to pay a fee when you got released to have it “unlocked” so it could be used in the normal world but yea, not worth it. Also, not proud, just sharing a thing.
I feel the grados are more on the over ear vs sitting outside though. They feel more substantial and they also sound really good to back it up. Though I do have a pair of older 90s koss that sit dainty and they actually sound pretty darn good, especially plugged into the McIntosh amplifier.
The sound quality (given that prison items are supposed to be dead cheap) it's actually insane, I expected pure garbage and got actually semi-decent quality you could use by daily basis outside? I watched Techmoan video about prison tech before and it seems like night and day for me really
Ehhh...I don't know if I would call them cheap. They aren't super expensive, but the CL-20's cost $35 before tax in my state. In prison that's actually kind of expensive TBH considering most institutional jobs pay anywhere from $20-50 a month in my state and of course you need to make sure you buy your hygiene products....Unless you have money coming in from the outside, buy property off the "Street" (which is prohibited and if you get caught with property you didn't officially purchase you can be given a misconduct ticket and have the item confiscated) or run some kind of hustle for commissary goods, having luxury items could sometimes be hard to pull off.
@@rashira9610 Well I expected them to not be really cheap, that's why I said they are supposed to be really cheap not that they are. But still impressive at least from the perspective that there is some market for them.
I remember seeing Techmoan and After Prison Show's vids on prison tech. I find it super fascinating even though I'm the last person who you'd expect to see in prison.
As I said to my Aussie friend recently: "I applied for a job in Australia and during the interview they asked me if I had ever been in prison and I responded, "Oh, is that still a requirement?" I KEEEEED! Lovely episode and crazy how their is a market for almost everything in the world.
So fun fact about those CL:20 headphones, if the ear cups aren't adjusting properly (left and right not up and down) you're not wearing them correctly! You're actually supposed to wear them with the headband around the front, that's why Koss put those two big holes in the top of the headband. Not only do they adjust properly that way, you also get a pair of headphones that double as a slammin pair of specs, too!!
I'd like to think Frank gave so many licks in that update because she misses you... But I know she's usually a hermit when you're there with a camera. 😭

I'm genuinely surprised they allow corded headphones in prisons. I would think those could be really dangerous if the right person had them when a fight broke out. Maybe the cord is super weak and snaps easily?
My guess is that these headphones are only allowed to be used under certain circumstances where a potential fight/suicide attempt could be stopped if necessary.
I can only speak for german prisons - cables over a length of 1m / 3ft are not allowed in order to prevent suicide. That's the only official reason but in general the most rules there are pretty idiotic.
rules vary from prison to prison. some only have them available in common areas where in theory anything dangerous would be stopped by onlooking guards. others might allow inmates to have them in more personal areas under supervision (someone checking in every few minutes). low security prisons might even allow inmates to have them whenever since no one in there is especially liable to do violence. and even then they are only gonna be issued to the most upstanding ones and can be confiscated at any time. also if you've ever owned any corded headphones, you know they fall apart all the time on their own. strangling someone isn't as easy as movies/games make it look, i don't know if most would be able to cause harm before they break.
Wade, please never feel like you need to justify and apologize for NOT blowing a rare pair of headphones/earbuds up... _even if they are junk!_ lol You collect stuff, we get it ❤ And the small majority who _don't_ get it are just white noise and can promptly be ignored... 😏 On the flip side...

I have a friend trapped in the Florida prison system right now for a crime she didn't commit. The prison commissary system is exceptionally exploitative, these things are very expensive for prisoners to purchase. Even worse, the tablets they have don't drive them particularly hard, which is awful for someone that's hard of hearing. I'd link the blog I keep up for her, but that would be rude ^^; I'll ask her about the make and model of her headphones and see if it's Koss they get in Florida or something else and report back!
im so interested by that blog actually wow, i have a partner similarly trapped because she had the nerve to simply defend herself against someone who wanted to take her life
they'll be Koss or Sangean. I was locked up for 11yrs and pretty much every state gets the same thing in terms of electronics. We had to actually order our electronics from a catalog, either JL Marcus or Union Supply and wait for them to get delivered. Some prisons actually keep the items in stock at the prison through and you buy it from the prison, at a mark-up I'm assuming, but then again the items are already expensive from the catalog, especially when you are only making .19/hr from your prison job.

Man am I a fan of Koss. Love the Porta Pros and the KSC75. Inexpensive, good sounding, super light and comfortable, saved my butt during the insane Summer heat.
The last pair had the same drivers as the ksc75's which is why they sounded the best, I modded my ksc75's with a removable mmcx cable just for nostalgia since I went through three or four sets of their earphones with these drivers in them in high school. I didn't know until now that they are still considered pretty decent these days especially for the price and have a small modding community for them.
"It's some of my least favorite kind of headphones. I hate ones that just kinda daintily sit on. It's either in-ears or over-ears" - Wade Dankpods, known Grado enjoyer.
My first "Real" pair of headphones as a teen was a pair of black Koss R/22 on ear headphones with a 15 foot cord that were the exact same plastic moulding as the cl/20 you showed here, still got them and they sound just as "good" as they did when I first got them to watch TV in my room at night.
Not sure if this is the case anymore, but you used to be able to order all this stuff from a catalogue. And each piece came with their serial number. So they could keep track of how many pieces are out there and if they were in or outside of the prison system.
Man, I literally said "Jesus, talk about a V-curve" out loud when you got to those last ones. At least the middle ones have decent mids. The last ones are tinny af, as well as muddy and blown-out on the bass. Incredible feat.
I remember seeing a 2010's CRT TV in a prison tech video once. Outside only having an RF jack, not even composite, it'd be a pretty neat piece of tech.
the fact that they feel the need to make the most compact type of headphone see through to prevent stashing makes me not ever wanna underestimate a prisoner, like how they gonna stash anything in those buds
Truth be told, you could still probably stash crap inside without being noticed. This is honestly just an excuse to cut costs on plastic dyes and give that 'security theater' effect.
The 7Hz x Crinacle Salnotes Zero:2 come with see-trough casing I think you should revisit the IEMs st every price point concept cuz there's new stuff and some of it is great
Those last headsets were designed based off the Radio Shack Pro-35 Titanium headsets. The drivers had a Mylar cone rather than a plastic one which gave them a different sound that was bass rich
I used to go to the flea markets all the time and my dad worked for a jail supply that had a semi full of transparent tvs get stolen. He'd always jokingly say keep an eye out for those stolen tvs. He'd also bring home boxes full of these headphones. I would use them for cable ties.
Well then, there's a thing I've never even thought about before. But it completely makes sense that prisoners would have to have transparent/translucent objects in their cells.

the grand return of the freakish ears on a stand, glad to see them return
He should try to build a pair of headphones out of junk, like the Shrekpod but headphones.
Those last headsets were designed based off the Radio Shack Pro-35 Titanium headsets. The drivers had a Mylar cone rather than a plastic one which gave them a different sound that was bass rich
That's the best Frank bit we've yet to encounter. Thank you anonymous Frank caretaker, you have greatly improved my day
I used to go to the flea markets all the time and my dad worked for a jail supply that had a semi full of transparent tvs get stolen. He'd always jokingly say keep an eye out for those stolen tvs. He'd also bring home boxes full of these headphones. I would use them for cable ties.
Well then, there's a thing I've never even thought about before. But it completely makes sense that prisoners would have to have transparent/translucent objects in their cells.
Only if the country hates their prisoners and doesn't treat them like humans lol. The technology in a lot of European prisons is normal.
I love how they all look the same but are just scaled

Whats funny is a brand for headphones made specifically for prisoners has a better brand name than most brands I heard.
They sell the on-ear Koss headphones right at the entrance of my local grocery store and I think of Dankpods every time I walk past them.
i cant believe he got arrested
Koss is the shit. God bless em for making these at least half decent

They make this stuff so prisoners don't use them as weapons but the buds can always be used for choking
Man, those side-by-sides are no “walk in the park”
Well now you just need to jail television
