Marinated Headphones

From Inkipedia, the Splatoon wiki

The Marinated Headphones are headgear in the Splatoon series.

In Splatoon 2, they are a 2-star item produced by amiibo and come with the primary ability Special Saver. They are only available from the Marina amiibo. They cannot be ordered from another player.

In Splatoon 3, they are a 1-star item produced by amiibo and come with the primary ability Special Saver. They are only available from the Marina amiibo. They cannot be ordered from another player.

Appearance

The Marinated Headphones are replicas of the headphones and bandana Marina wears during the Octo Expansion, although the bandana is worn under the headphones, unlike how Marina wears them. The color of the glowing portions of the headphones changes to match the wearer's ink.

In Splatoon 2, the ends of the bandana are knotted if worn by girls (like how Marina wears hers), while they are instead tucked under each other if worn by boys, similar to the Black FishFry Bandana and FishFry Biscuit Bandana. In Splatoon 3, however, the ends of the bandana are always tucked under each other.

When displayed in a Locker in Splatoon 3, this gear is placed on a black mannequin head.

Trivia

  • The shape of the headphone part is reminiscent of DJ headphones, such as the HDJ-CUE1 by Pioneer or the MDR-V700 by Sony. The circular ring design on the headphones may come from ATH-M50x by audio-technica.
