THE MAKING (320) How Headphones are Made

THE MAKING follows the process of fabricating everyday products from raw materials. No.320 illustrates the creation of a pair of headphones.

Headphones are made up of a diaphragm, housing, earpads, and other components composed of various materials, including plastic, metal, and fabric. The diaphragm, which generates sound, and magnets are assembled and fixed in a housing composed of machined metal. The process of combing several parts into a single product is outlined in the video below:
