I had the YH-2, purchased here in classifieds. Very comfortable, amazing how far headphone tech has come yet remains mostly the same.

HONESTLY THO i like the weight of older products and tech , i expected them to sound all crunchy and muddled but they sounded better than any normal consumer stuff i have laying around

Ha, I had similar thoughts before I heard one. I really started with audio in the 80s during the Walkman era.
