So these arrived today.. new to me.. appear to be in good shape working well..

I bought these entirely because the Dead Kennedy's were wearing them in the lost tapes videos

So far .. Pretty good, fairly comfortable.. sound is good (for vintage headphones).. sound stage ~ok pretty ok for vintage headphone.. you can see the how these are the ancestor of the MDR-V6's. I'm not thrilled the ear pads seem to be glued(???) on and they are pretty much all plastic (ear cups , arms.. but a solid sort of quality plastic that seens pretty sturdy indeed.. given how old this set is pretty solid certainly.)

isolation is also good ... not sure how much I will end up wearing these.. put they are kinda fun to have and I've been wanting a pair since realizing the DKs wore them in the lost tape recordings..

just cool vintage gear
