Looks like poop to me. Are they yours?

Did I read 8-Ohm impedance on the side??? How's the sound?

 

[WittyzTH]

no doubt it IS old.

curious about the sound too..

 

[Duggeh]

8ohm old paper cone drivers no doubt. Ill bet it sounds absolutely dreadful.

 

[Cecala]

Its a prototype K801.

 

[krmathis]

Looks really old, and probably don't sound great either...

Try Them!!!

What's it sound like?

Remember a lot of Bose Speakers use paper or whatever that material is for their cones and well, I love Bose Speakers

 

[yuheng]

yeah,old stuff have better quality imho.

 

[AudioCats]

All you need is a driver transplant to make them sound good......

Nah, why bother.

 

[audiomagnate]

They look like language lab headphones to me. Really, really bad. I have a pair somewhere.

Pretty sure I've seen those headphones with a few different names on them.

the 8 ohm impedance is a dead giveaway for 'junque' though. Hardly any paper cone headphones sound at all good. Even the ones with multiple drivers.

I picked up some "Sonic V" coaxial headphones because they were in the same ebay lot of mixed vintage cans as some pioneer piezoelectrics i wanted. I haven't figured out what the tweeter is because the paper woofer is glued to the baffle. Silly things have a crossover network and everything. They're not terrible, but they aint that great either.
