Learn how to Customize Headphones

Have a look under the pictures to learn step by step how Bobsmade customize

headphones. It takes around 6hours.

 

here is everything you will need:

 

  • headphones ( i used Philips Shp 1900 - 15€)  
  • permanent paint ( Molotow One for All - one colour bottle cost 17€)
  • permanent Marker (Posterman from 3€ , Faber Castell Multimark 1€)
  • a old clean cloth
  • thinner  4€
  • varnish (Prisma colour spray 6€)
  • some tape 1€
So if you have to buy everything new, inkl. 3 Molotow colors you have to spend around 80€ just for the materials. Its maybe not bad to think about to order some from Bobsmade :)  Here you find also more examples Headphones"" title="Go to the link "Works-> Headphones""/>Works-> Headphones 

Good luck if you try it yourself, and show your work if you want, by send me a picture at -> contact@bobsmade.com

    Hi
    Thx for the tutorial!
    The acetone is to rub off the initial varnish ^_^

    what kind of markers are they? what kind of tip? is it felt or what?

    besides the ones you use, what brand headphones usually have decent ones for painting while staying at a decent price? I can only find these small JVC ones or these massive sonys... I would take the sonys, but they cost more
