What headphones does Patrick Bateman wear in American Psycho | Headphone Reviews and Discussion - Head-Fi.org

In the movie American Psycho, Christian Bale plays Patrick Bateman. Almost every brand the character wears is name checked, apart from his headphones? Can anyone help me out with a manufacturer and model?

If you post a picture or a clip, you are much more likely to get an answer

Sorry to bump this old thread, but no one seems to have been able to identify what Bateman's headphones are.

I took some blue-ray quality screenshots of the headphones, and uploaded them just now. Here they are:

Hope someone's able to identify what they are.

Honestly they look SO similar to the headset my dad used to use with his computer. He had them for like 30 years. He just moved, so they may still be around, just don't know where lol

Never mind about the images - I dont want another 2 rounds of both of us deleting and then reuploading again.

But yeah, do you recall what possible brand these are at least, the ones your dad wore?

I think I remember a faded "Sennheiser" on the thin top. But don't quote me on that.

OH GOD, to my horror I just realized it looks almost (maybe completely) identical to the PartsExpress $2 headphones people buy to swap Koss KSC75s onto the headbands:

(Go to the headphone @ [D3] )

I really hope that's not the case lol. |joker| rated it 2/10 build, 4/10 comfort, 2/10 isolation, 0/10 sound, 2/10 value......

The player he's listening to is a Sony WM-D3.

The headphones are the free pair bundled with the player. Decent sound but very flimsy. I had a bag full of broken ones.

torifile · Feb 11, 2011 at 11:15 PM

Yep. I remember those old Sony headphones that came with walkmans back then. I had a pair. I would always bend that damned headband and you could never get it back to fixed again. I remember buying a new walkman just to swap out the headphones with my old busted pair (they still worked but were bent).

Hey, I was like 9, ok?

Nice one. I'm impressed.
