From Trauma To Rebellion

Humble Beginnings

Where We Started

The founder of Phantom Vibes, Matt Compton, began as an eBay reseller in the late 2010s. After turning his attention to college, he brought with him the practical knowledge and entrepreneurial mindset gained from those early eCommerce ventures.

Crushed Dreams

Our Headset Project

The founder spent years gaming and listening to music, unaware that his “safe” volume levels often exceeded 85 decibels. The result was tinnitus and hyperacusis — even though he thought he was being careful. Determined to prevent others from the same fate, he founded Phantom Vibes Tech LLC in 2024 to develop a gaming headset brand focused on real hearing safety. But when the Liberation Day tariffs hit, the project became unsustainable and had to be shelved — marking the company’s shift toward a new mission.

Caffeinated Fire

Our New Rebellion

After the headset project was shelved, we had to find a new way forward — something that could keep the vision alive from the ground up. We turned to coffee, tea, and eBooks: simple, meaningful products increasingly caught between tariffs and censorship. By building a movement around these essentials, Phantom Vibes Tech aims to grow organically and fund the revival of its original mission — creating safer sound for everyone.

Our Customer/Freelancer Milestones

Customers

When we did eBay for 2+ years, we had the pleasure of acquiring an over 4.5 star rating. Back then, our primary source of revenue was from cleaning and repairing shoes that were found in good condition. It was a difficult niche, yet rewarding experience.

Freelancers

Over the course of a year we had the privilege of working with wonderful freelancers that helped me build Phantom Vibes Tech to what it is today. Both in the headset era and in the current caffeine and ebook era.

We recently relaunched our business into a caffeine and literature focused ambition. Ever since then, we have worked with quite a few noteworthy freelancers, particularly Isa Nielsen.

From Isa Nielsen:

"Thank you so much, Matt! Working with you was truly a great experience — you were supportive, clear, and inspiring to collaborate with. I’m really happy you enjoyed the project and my music. That means a lot to me!
Hope we collaborate again soon!"
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Built on integrity.

In his early twenties, our founder spent $2,600 on a red light therapy device to ease painful ear inflammation. When it broke under warranty and was lost in customs during return, the seller refused to refund him.

That experience left a mark. He promised never to treat others that way. Phantom Vibes Tech was built on that promise — to always stand by customers with honesty and respect.
