Hi guyzz,

Surfing on the web brought me to this http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3100/...4279b21cb0.jpg

It looks like sansui SS, but it' not.

On the logo it says the brand is DUETTE, the model is stereo foam headset SH-1D but every google crash I made on it did not return anything. Anyone has an idea of the brand? The model? Maybe that, because it's flickr, le true logo (herein the true brand) has been photoshoped... So if you have any clue or what... Or better! If any one of you is selling one...I am interested

Cheers and thanks for your support!

They look like typical '70s 8 0hm paper driver headphones to me.  A few that probably sound virtually identical are put up on ebay every day.

Well, I spent 3hours again google crashing everything I could and followed your clues... still nothing that really match...

Do you or do anyone know a database where all the 70s headphones are listed? Or a good website about 7Os headphones, or so specialist??

Oh and I foud a good website that compils all the vintage headphones for sale on ebay everuwhere in the world (of course the one I am looking for ie the http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3100/...4279b21cb0.jpg are not there...arrghhh). Have a look guyzz:

There have been a lot of links to this in the past, but Wikiphonia is a vital tool for people interested in vintage headphones.  Most of the ones that are actually worth listening to are in there.

Hi, I've recently bought a pair of these headphones complete with box and they're in excellent condition. Listened to an old Beatles Vinyl on them last night and... oh so cool. From what the man who sold them to me said, it was sold by quite an exclusive shop in London which closed down in the 1980s.
