dig this sennheiser ad from the 80s

[kjfarley]

ms-100s from a Stereo Review from the university library in my town... are these good?

Cool, thanks.

As a Graphic Designer with a background in advertising, I really dig old ads, particularly ones for headphones. It's hilarious to see what these company's marketing divisions come up with.

So sweet, you can wear them while making out!

I love the presumptuous style 80s ads emanate:

"Most people who know audio know that sennheiser open-aire design delivers sound that clearly surpasses even the most expensive home loudspeakers."

Okay, well maybe that's true.

While making out what exactly!

 

[TheDeliveryMan]

they were somewhat rare, we very very VERY rarely (only a few times in my tenure at Sennheiser) hear about these or have requests for information.

you're absolutely right...its a great time capsule. its also a reference point for how much you can improve

Old headphone ads are funny, old computer ads are even funnier.

I'd love to see some old catalogue pages if you can scan 'em!

Headphone geeks with girls?

I think they're mocking us.

Guess headphones were hip in the 80s.

That's what I think, too....

I saw Sennheiser headphone ad first time in Airline... some PXC noise-cancelling.


I used to think Sennheiser is the most expensive brand n all.

but i realized Sennheiser makes Headphones for ALL levels of listening.

from cheap budget..to Gaming...to Audiophile ..to professional.

Love the brand....

Long live Sennheiser.

Hehehe!

Maybe you speak for 95% of the members here... but I actually managed to get my girl to come to the last meet I organised (well, she hung around for about 10 minutes, but I digress).
