just got a pair from ebay. in primo condition, except for missing chrome cup caps.
built like a tank, thick soft rubber cushions, steel headband, very thick braided cloth cord. these arent breaking any time soon!
squeezes on you head, a little isolating, i am going to guess these were supposed to be mixing /monitoring headphones back when- it semms early 70s. 8 ohms is the only spec i can find.
sound- very flat, neutral-ish, bass light. great detail, especially for the age. one very interesting aspect: even though these are light in the bass dept, they audibly respond to low bass changes. when i move the 30hz slider on the eq, they repsond, and a lot. in almost all headphones this slider is pretty much useless. same with the 16khz slider on the other end. probably an engineering triumph 40 yrs ago
