I made VU meter headphones. They light up in sync with the music.

I made VU meter headphones by adding EL wire to a pair of headphones and modifying a sound-reactive inverter to respond to an audio signal. They light up in sync with the music. (follow link for video)

Could use some cleaning up but the concept is cool

[Manu]

Not sure about these surviving one gig but I guess yeah, pretty lights.

Agreed. Right now they look a little rough, but I think if you spent some time you could find a way to make them look nice.

[Adzm00]

I really like the concept.

[Panotaker]

That's pretty cool!

[Tommy D]

My old stantons used to do this, they looked good (well like sony's anyway) and sounded great. Shame they fell apart like they were made from lego.

[JFunk]

Nice work ;) I bet they look good in the dark

[akswun]

I want to troll so baaaad......
maybe you can get them to turn all red when your mix is off or trainwrecking

What would you do to make them look better?

[yardleydobon]

Thank you everyone for the compliments!

This is awesome. Now the whole crowd will know when you're clipping and in the reds
