i work at GAP, and last season, in one of the visual posters, they had a pair of headphones. when i saw it, i thought to myself OMG I MUST HAVE IT.

so now, i have it (its a LOT bigger than it looked in the store).

anyways, they're pretty oldschool, anybody recognize these cans?

Hmmm..could be way off the mark here but they look like A pair of Sennheisers from the early 70's.

Phillips!

i dunno. I'm a head noob.

they all look the same to me.

YES! I saw a similar model from the same company a few weeks ago on ebay. The exact same weird springy thing for the height adjust on the headband. I can't recall the make and model number, but the pics I have on my computer (they looked that cool so I saved 'em) say "Swinger Superex".

Good luck googlin' them. I can't find much.

There you go. It isn't much, but I can almost guarantee you they are from the same company. Obviously the headband and colors are a little different, but look closely at the shape of the cups -- especially where they connect to the metal height adjusters in the front-on pic. I hope this helps you in your search. I wanted these bad, but the price went over my OITC threshold for 70's headphones. -- And Senn HD201s probably sound better, anyway.

He has them already, he wasn't looking for help. He just posted the thread as a challenge...

I thought he was referring to the poster when he said that?

 

[AdamWill]

owch, you're right. I suck. Now, do I edit away my stupidity? must...resist...temptation...

 

[Inkmo]

yeah.. I just assumed he was talkin' about the poster, too. I have a big soft spot for vintage headphones. Even though they don't sound so great IMO.

 

[sonick]

yea, was talkin bout the poster, not the cans themselves

good job guys, Head-Fi pulls through again

Really? I still have a pair of AKG K 120

- The phones are in mint condition. The original packaging not really

I am willing to trade them for your A900 anytime!
