Can you identify those cans?

[Saltuk]

Hi, I found them on an auction. Only info is it has volume knobs on each can.
Can anyone recognize it?

 

[intoflatlines]

I saw something about those on a thread here awhile ago, but I don't remember what they are.

They look vaguely like pioneers but probably aren't.

Can you get the seller to tell you more about them?

Are those from that ebay auction, of the vintage sensui (dont know how to spell) headphones?

I searched the model number in head-fi, it brought up a lot of hits in the orthodynamic thread. They may be orthos but DONT quote me as I am probably wrong.

i'm thinking sansui. when i first started deejaying, i had a pair that looked almost exactly like that.

They look like Sansui, but I think they are made by others in the same era.

They aint orthos. They are probably paper-cone drivers.

Your right. Here is the auction I was talking about:
VINTAGE SANSUI SS-50 STEREO HEADPHONES W/CASE. - eBay (item 120212503477 end time Jan-23-08 17:30:00 PST)

Are THOSE orthos? They seem to have a number of bidders, and the model number of them pulled a lot of hits in the ortho roundup thread on head-fi.

 

[ericj]

No. The SS-100 is the only sansui ortho. And it was made for them by Foster Japan.

Vintage sansui gets bid up strictly because there is a subculture of sansui-philes. Same thing with Marantz gear.

Edit: and in general, ancient closed headphones sound terrible, no matter who made them. I can't think of any obvious exceptions to this rule.

Yes I believe they are Sansui or made by sansui . I bought them know for 7$.
They will arrive in two days . By the way it wasn't on ebay , it was a local auction here in Turkey . Will post impressions when I recieve .
