ATTENTION COLLECTORS:
I have been trimming down my collections, too much good stuff, running out of space.

Here is a threesome of famous Sennheiser Classics:
The HD414 is the most popular headphone ever sold and was the first commercially available open back headphone (open aire was their description). Estimate is 100,000,000 HD414 headphones sold and they revolutionized the industry.

the Impedance on the original was 2000 ohms and is the gray one shown (1968). Comfort is very GOOD for all three.

The Black anniversary model released in the 80’s. had an impedance around 600 ohms. Very open and airy as the original with a bit more fullness in the bass. Both are light as could be and can be worn for hours without fatigue.

The HD424 came out with the thought of it being an upgrade model to the HD414s. Very comfortable and a smooth open sound and again light and comfortable.

Pads on black 414 are new, on the gray, good condition and the 424 pads are okay but not great. Included is the new in package pair of 414 original Sennheiser pads. Sennheiser original pads for the 424 & HD414 are available at Amazon and should be in stock at Sennheiser and reasonably priced when you need new ones.

Selling as a package of all three, start a new wing to your collection.

All three are in excellent physical and sonic condition.

I felt bad so I sent you a pair of pink IEMs that I got for free (their approximate value). Now you can look 👀 at the Bright side.
SOLD!

Haha, I'm sure they sound as expensive as they are! Nah, I was just reminiscing about those Senns, but wouldn't have bought them. Grado SR 325i and Campfire Dorado are all I need!

Oh man, I had the black HD 414 and the gorgeous yellow pads, a requested Christmas present! I learned rock, jazz, all kinds of music listening to those headphones!!
Lots of memories with these models, changed a lot of what was about to become a bit of a revolution.

Glad it put a smile on your face.
Sorry for the dupe, busy day.

Stumbling towards enlightenment
(Formerly known as kayandjohn.)
As the ultimate purchaser of this collection, I see that @joseph69 , from whom I have bought multiple Grados, is also sniffing around the Sennheiser line! I don’t know what his excuse is.. but mine is better:

i worked at Bell Laboratories, Murray Hill, New Jersey, on speech recognition. Researchers in the Acoustic Research Department used these headphone almost exclusively (this was in the late 1970s and 1980s.). I always wanted some of my own, recalling fondly the memories of that time.

Oh, and Joseph Grado lived (and built his HPA-1 headphone amp) in Westfield, NJ, just a few miles away.
