The Headset Arc, or Headset Era, unfolded in late April 2021, derived from Daniel's conspicuous choice to wear an oversized blue gaming headset in public.
The headset era produced many quotable videos. Some of these videos consist of Daniel talking about accusations and allegations made against him (usually by Flexburger) while telling everybody not to believe them, and of course to please stay tuned. The microphone quality on this headset was sensitive to wind, as it was clearly not designed for recording audio outside, leading to his videos having poor audio.
It is unknown at this time when the Headset Era exactly ended. Daniel has since been seen wearing various other headphones, which usually do not last very long before destruction.

Media
Livestreams
Daniel would frequently go live wearing the headset.
May 6 concert
Daniel had a "concert" for the BET awards (literally pronounced bet awards by Daniel) on May 6, which was hosted on TikTok LIVE. However, the stream was also uploaded to YouTube. Unsurprisingly, the concert did not consist of Daniel singing his own catalog of hits, but rather just playing or singing other people's music such as The Chainsmokers, Dustin Lynch and Bruno Mars; all while wearing the iconic headset and walking outside. Daniel received multiple phone calls during the concert which led to the interruption and early end of the live stream.
Videos
"It's a picture of my ding-a-ling."
A video featuring one of Daniel's more famous quotes.
Hey what's up everybody, this is Daniel Larson. There is just now a text over social media that came up under Flexburger. Please do not look at it, it's a picture of my ding-a-ling. Um, for some reason, um they, this guy has changed the text message in the entire thing to mean something different because of the accusations about me, do not believe it. We have Interscopes security team, cyber security team, working on everything right now, to clear everything, we're going to get it taken down off the media. Please- stay- tuned.
"The Accusations"
Daniel claimed that he made videos admitting to the accusations in order to clear them. He also mentions several actual and fictitious record labels, including "Interscope", "Party House Records", "Roach Records", and "Fame House Records". It is important to note that while some of these names are real record labels, it is highly unlikely that Daniel has had any real contact with them.
Hello everyone, this is Daniel Larson. Can you guys hear and see me? Can you guys hear me and see me? (Yes.) Okay, so today I'm going to be talking about the accusations. The accusations are fake. There were companies that came up with the allegations, and then because they came up with the allegations and blew it up out of proportion, they asked me and told me to clear the allegations up. I had to make the videos admitting to the accusations. I am now back. I got cleared. I am safe. Everyone, please help me out with these accusations, clearing my name. Thank you. Stay tuned for future events, songs, and updates. Interscope and Party House Records are really happy to have me. Also, Roach Records, they really, really suck because they have a perm. And Fame House Records, they are not even famous, so I don't even know where that name even came out of. They should fucking go to hell because their name sucks. Yeah, this party's about to go down. You ready for this? We'll be coming back every single day. We're going to have close to 10 more posts tonight, so stay tuned and enjoy. I want to maybe talk about Party House.
"Hello."
This video consists of Daniel strangely staring at his screen for a full thirty seconds before saying anything, appearing to read something.
Hello everyone. This is Daniel Larson. The allegations right now against me are fake. Please do not believe them. There is this person that is claiming to be me, he is using a phone number claiming that phone number is mine. Affortunately it is not my phone number, the only phone number I have is the one I'm using right now, which is [redacted]. That is the only number I have. Interscope Records is working on everything, trying to clear everything.
Other headphones
Spider-Man headphones
Daniel Larson, starting at an unknown date in May 2023, started wearing reasonably sized Spider-Man branded headphones meant for children. These headphones are low quality and have no mic, making almost all of his videos extremely quiet and difficult to hear. They were later smashed during the May 17 incident. However, Daniel can also be seen throwing a different pair of headphones into the Hudson River during the same incident.
Triangle headset
In 2021, Daniel once wore what looks to be triangle-shaped headphones. The video was posted to @proffesionaldaniellarson.
Found headphones
On June 14, 2022, Daniel destroyed a pair of headphones, seemingly in a fit of rage against Andrew. A r/Daniellarson user then found them on the side of a Colorado highway.[1] It should probably be noted that these are clearly not the original headphones from the headset arc.
