Appearance

The Squidlife Headphones are a pair of headphones with small orange speakers attached. Said speakers don't completely cover the wearer's ears like some of the other headphones, but instead fold them backward and pin them against the side of the head. The headphones themselves are made out of grey metal strips and have black clips connecting the strips to one another.

Trivia

  • This gear may be a reference to the pair of headphones included with the Famicom S.D. Station. They have a similar color and style, and there are other instances of Famicom accessories appearing or being referenced in Splatoon.
    • It should be noted, however, that the Famicom S.D. Station was a third party accessory created by Hori, unlike other Famicom accessories that have been referenced that were created by Nintendo. Thus, the headphones' similar appearance may only be a coincidence.
  • This gear's housing and gimbals resemble the classic button design on headphones from Grado Labs, and the headband and adjustment blocks resemble the Porta Pro line from Koss.
