So I was rummaging through my basement today and I happened to find a NOS pair of Realistic Nova 44 complete with receipt from August 27th 1976 when my Mom bought them for $19.95. I don't think they have been used at all because all the foam is intact and they don't look touched. Interesting thing about these is they have 2 drivers in each earcup and at the end of the cord is two 1/4" plugs. One each for the two front drivers and the two rear drivers. I listened to them for a second through only one set of drivers at a time as I don't have a splitter for 1/4" plugs. But they do sound as awful as has been said on the site. Pics up soon.

Basements can be a scary thing sometimes

Maybe they should have been burning in for the past 31 years or maybe just burned. :6)

Figured out they are for listening to Quadrophonic recordings now I just have to find some.

Of course, in this day, you can listen to holophonic recordings using only two drivers...

Its certainly is not always a good thing.
For sure depending on which headphone you find ...
