Yes I bought a pair of electrostatic jecklin Floats off ebay. And this being the first pair of ES headphones Ive ever owned I must say they're damn nice!

From what Ive seen so far (as I recieved them today), they're very, very detailed and just as much sa unforgiving. Some recordings I have sound absolutely teirrble, and some of them sound great. Im not really going to write up a full feature article as Im terrible at that sort of stuff. Suffice t say these sound great and anybody who ever finds them on sale again should buy them, chances are they'll go pretty cheap too cause they're slightly ugly...

Comfort wise they're pretty comfy and feel rather light to me. Only problem with me is that my head is rather big and so I find these pushing on the bits just below the temples a bit. Those of you with smaller heads should be fine.

Anyway, I have some pictures of them for you guys as Ive noticed there arent too many pics of them. Ive tried to make them as 56K friendly as possible. So enjoy the pics... Also there's a comparison of the jecklins vs the size of my NEC e808... I think I have thing for collecting big things

sorry my camera doesnt seem to take pictures of me for some reason

but here's a pic of someone else wearing em. (I dont know who you are wearing these floats but apparently you look a bit like me... go figure)

And yes i did infact steal this pic from the new york meet thread

i posted the ebay link to these in the sale forum here...did you find them off that link>?

 

[Nights_85]

ohhh now I remember.... well actually I found em before that. The guy had em posted a week earlier but it was canceled due to "violation of listening guidlines".

 

[bhd812]

ahhhhh Now I get it..

its great to hear a headfi'er got these.
you must let other check them out at meets, and maybe even try a different amp.

 

[Nights_85]

well I'd certainly like to hear what others have as well. I dont know if there's ever been an Australian meet..... it'd be good to get one going though.

These things are plugged into my Aiwa reciever as it takes speaker outputs as inputs... I guess energisers weren't THAT sophisticated back in the 70's

 

[bhd812]

enjoy them you have a very "RARE" set of cans. they might look funny but the time I have spent with the regular ones while hosting the last meet was pretty damm nice. I believe the eltro's are even better.

 

[Aptmunich]

EXCELLENT PICTURE!

And he's the perfect guy to be wearing them too!

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure they sound better than anything I've ever heard / am going to hear...

But they do have a certain amusing quality about them...

*pompous voice*Yes well we upper class suburbanites of Sydney believe strapping something that looks like a horseshoe magnet to your head is quite stylish really
