Got these at a neighborhood garage sale for 50 cents. Can anyone provide the vintage of this headphones? I was told that the original owner purchased them in Hong Kong circa 1980. I want to know if it would be worth it to solder a new plug on the cable.

The text found on the phones are Carol/Stereo Headphone/HP-101.

I dont think they look half bad to tell you the truth. Those ear pads look comfy, but i bet their pretty heavy though with all that metal. why dont you put a plug on those cans, and do a detailed review on them vs. the hd-600, sr-125, rs-2, ect ?

Yeah that would be great!!!
It would be very interesting to see the results...

Well, I was wondering if it would be worth the trouble and if any Head-Fier had encountered these before. If the previous owner was telling the truth, then I guess these cans are pretty old. I guess my girlfriend returns my META42 and HD580, I may consider a comparo just to see what they sound like.
