How do say speakers headphones and so on in your mother tongue?

[pozz]

Russian:

• Speaker: Громкоговоритель. Loanword from English, literally "loudspeaker", though it's a formal and old-fashioned word that can also mean "megaphone". Colloquially, everyone says колонки or "columns", regardless of size.
• Headphones: Наушники. Literally, "on-ears", and also plural like in English. Same word is used for the earflaps of a winter hat.
• Turntable: Проигрыватель. "Player". A dated word that's still in use. Less formally, you would say вертушка, "twirler" or "pinwheel".
• Vinyl: Виниловая пластинка. "Vinyl plate". Where English mostly drops the second part of the word, Russian drops the first, and so you'd call it a пластинка.
• Amplifier: Усилитель. "Booster", "strengthener" or "reinforcer".
• DAC: Цифро-Аналоговый Преобразователь, ЦАП. "Numero-Analogue Converter". ЦАП is a very cool-sounding word.
• Snake Oil: Фуфло. "Hoax", "fake", "bullshit". This is one of the more polite ways to say it.

Lots of audio-related words are loanwords. Like "woofer" is Russified into вуфер, and "driver" generally is динамик ("dynamic").

Loudspeaker - hilkher (הילכער)
Headphones- khedfunz (כעדפאָונז)
Vinyl- vaynal (וויינאַל)
High End cable manufacturer- ligner (ליגנער)

הילכער shows "bullhorn" in the Yiddish dictionary. Does it literally mean the horn of a bull?

No, it really is closer to a loudspeaker. When I was a child and that's the language we spoke at home, this is how everyone referred to the horn on the radio and the record player.

[andreasmaaan]

Not my mother tongue but my second language (German):

"Lautsprecher" (translation obvious) or the much more amusing Denglisch (Deutsch-Englisch) word "Boxen" (plural of "Box").

Amplifier: "Verstärker" (something like "strenghthener" translated literally) or "Endstufe" ("end stage" i.e. power amp).

 

[tomtoo]

Uhhps sry sometimes i forget that i'am german. And the world knows germans, dont joke.
So
Laut-sprech-er (Rammstein could make a Song out of this single word)
Kopf-hör-er ( more r.....) it's cool.
Platten-Spieler (Platt = Flatt ) hehe Flattearthler-player? Who knows?

 

[tomtoo]

Laut - sprech - er.
Besser mit Ver-stärk -er.
Nie mit Kopf-hör-er.

[tomtoo]

What ever we do. Add science or snake-oil.
It's MUSIC that we love!

The music of language: wordplay.
