Check out that pair of WWII BBC headphones. It shares similarities to Grado headphones, with the rotatable "gimble ring" supporting the earpieces.

Very interesting. Grado and BBC designs are both very high tech

Here is what I get if I try to open the item

(I'm in France).

Can somebody copy/paste the pic?

Wow france really wants to forget about WWII, huh. And I made fun of us for Freedom Fries.

Has anyone heard anything like these?

I remember hearing about how Nazi paraphenalia is forbidden in Germany (Case in point, the game Wolfenstein 3D is not to be sold in Germany, the product description at 3D Realms states this.) but I never heard anything of the like for France.

These ebay headphones seem to be wireless too. Cool.

No, you run the wires to the giant screws on the backs of the earcups.


I wouldn't expect much in the way of sound quality out of those things though

Don't those old mono phones have really high impedances?
