Nakano Miku Headphones (ATH WS990BT Repair & Mod)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- I bought a pair of Audio Technica ATH-WS990BT's which are the same model of headphones that Nakano Miku uses in the Quintessential Quintuplets manga. I had a great deal of fun making these headphones as well as using them to edit this video. This isn't really a DIY video but if it inspires you to do something similar, just leave a comment and I will try to help.
The music used in this video were done by some wonderful artists, if you enjoyed any of them, I am linking their work below:

Nice little project, hope they get good use
Most definitely SogeKing!
The hinge just broke on the right ear side of mine. I know that the ones you have there are beat up but mine are mint condition and well cared for. Should have realized why they were on sale at Lond..drugs for $99. I think you’re right about the rage quit because you can’t keep wearing them after one side breaks.
Interesting, they must’ve seen a hairline crack starting and after a while it must’ve went. Yeah just give the ABS glue trick a try and it should be fine, you wanna have it mixed to the consistency of normal glue, you can find ABS from most older electronics, I sourced mine from an old printer tray, it should say ABS and melt pretty quick (or buy some small couplings from a hardware store) you don’t even need to take it apart that much depending on where the crack is, best of luck!
Same pair, broke on one side. I need this video 👍🏼
Hopefully it works out! Mine still works brilliantly
Очень странно то, что во многих источниках пишут что у Мику были М50х, хотя по внешнему виду это не совсем так. Больше WS990BT выглядят правдеподобнее чем М50Х.
Неплохой кастом кстати, удачи тебе!
Sorry that I can’t speak Russian, but that is interesting that they would refer to the M50x, maybe because there is a blue model and due to how popular it is. The Wiki I used referred to the WS990BT and the author was gifted a pair from Audio Technica themselves after Miku got her new headphones. Thanks for watching!
плохо переведено: Извините, что я не могу говорить по-русски, но вот интересно, что бы они ссылались на M50x, может потому, что есть синяя модель и из-за того, насколько она популярна. В вики, которую я использовал, упоминались WS990BT, и автор сам получил пару от Audio Technica после того, как Мику получила свои новые наушники. Спасибо за просмотр!
So this is really late but I’m pretty sure miku’s initial headphones were the audio technica ath-ws99bt seems to be the right shape to me, but there isn’t a blue version
Yes! That’s what it says on the wiki too, the only problem is that the one in the manga is slightly modified and there is no canon that really ties the ws99bt’s with her initial pair, though I guess with a little bit of similar work you can make them look like the originals! I just decided to work on the ws990bt’s Bcs there was a really cheap listing for them and Negi Haruba himself was gifted a pair of ws990bt’s by audio technica themselves. I got this on the fandom wiki, check it out if you haven’t yet. Though if I’m being completely honest, I think Miku’s first pair is just an amalgamation of many different generic headphones from ATH
I’m always watching
What material did you use for the headband? I was thinking of doing something similar and found your video.
Its some pretty cheap vinyl that I got from my local Joanne Fabrics, but if you’re willing to put the effort in, I suggest getting some pleather, the vinyl worked well but the texture felt stiffer than the original band, so a higher quality pleather might work best, I’d try a search on Amazon and if all else fails just head to your local fabric store and give it a feel before purchase (mainly texture and thickness, if it’s too hard or thick it might wrinkle) best of luck!

¡Gracias!
i wanna do this im gonna buy the headphones and do this lmao
I’d love to see it! I’m not sure what your experience is in any of these categories, but at the very least you should be able to tape off specific parts and spray away!
Do they actually sound good? I kinda want them but there’s like zero reviews, no sibilance?
Long review coming up: TL;DR yes they sound pretty good BUT...
Okay, I'll be honest, I had to spend an hr re-listening to these headphones because I haven't used them in so long. I am also not an audiophile so my ears are not the most trained. My opinions of the ws990bt are compared to the M50xBT, both hooked up via aux cable so their BT audio may sound a little different (though it shouldn't be much). I'll refer to the ws990's as the Miku's. Miku's headphones sound great and excel with vocals, especially the higher pitches from female vocals but male vocals sounds decent too. There is a trade-off, there seems to be an absence of bass from miku's, but considering that I'm accustomed to the m50x's, which is pretty bassy already, the miku's might actually be neutral sounding with amplified high's, if not than slightly low in bass. I wouldn't say one is better than the other as the miku's and the m50x's seems to fulfill different genres. I would use the m50x's for rock, hip hop, rap, jazz, and anything with male vocals and heavy focus on the instrumentals. Miku's I would use for edm, pop, jpop, female vocals, or just to focus on the vocals in general. Im not sure what artists you'd listen to but given milet (bassier female vocalist) and Ayase/ikura (a higher ranged vocalist), I would use my m50x to listen to milet and the miku's to listen to Ayase. After that's all said and done though, the miku's provide pretty good beeps and boops, and right now are cheaper than the m50xbt (surprisingly, it used to be like $250). Personally I prefer the m50x because of the extra bass and the balance between instrumentals and vocals, but the ws990's are pretty solid. miku's might not have been popular because of the high price tag when it released, and there were other headphones that sounded better for cheaper. The price on amazon as of writing this is about 180 which is more fair but not the price I would put on this pair (especially if it isn't blue). Hopefully my answer met satisfaction, lmk if you have any other questions about these.
@@PeTr01 thanks man, good info there, They’re like $150 where I am, had the wired version ages ago(ws1100is) and I liked it a bunch so Im debating between rebuying that one or getting the bt ones this time but there’s basically no info on them and they’re discontinued af so I gotta decide soon, and yeh miku best girl, author did her dirty lmao
@@ragecandy I’ve never tried the ws110’s so am unsure what to recommend, plus the ws990 might not necessarily sound better. But prob recommended for $150 if you’re looking for a Bluetooth device with the capability of using an aux, and for listening to pop/treble-vocal heavy music. It’s especially recommended if you plan to modding it a specific way 😉
do you accept commissions?
Haha, I appreciate that you think it warrants commission, unfortunately I’m not confident enough in my skills to “do this on the side”. I’d say if you feel comfortable enough in taking things apart and sewing, you can at the very least take the plastic off and make the blue head band, then you can send the plastic to be professionally painted (not spray painted like me lol). I will say it was a fun project to make and even better to wear to anime conventions and the movie last weekend!
Hi! I have a broken hinge for the headphones too and I plan to take it apart to fix it, do you happen to have footage of the whole process of taking it apart so that I could follow?
I think I do but it’s not detailed enough to see what’s going on, try: taking off as many screws as possible on the side with the broken hinge, then take the earmuff off, I think there are two layers under the muff with screws, one of them with normal screws, the other with triangle screws, once they are all out, then desolder any of the wires you see coming from the hinge so you don’t accidentally damage the electronics. The “Y” piece that connects the speaker part to the headset can be pulled apart to remove the part with the speaker, do this gently to not break the plastic. Once you have the speaker off, then removing everything else should be simple/shown in the video, I’m not at home currently, but if you need anymore information, just let me know. Just start taking it apart and comment when you get stuck, good luck!
@@PeTr01 oh! Thank you so much for the detailed steps!! I will try to take it apart and pray hard that I won’t destroy any parts, but I will reach out again when I’m stuck. Thank you so much!!
