My Sextetts are not with me right now, and in the mean time all I have to use is a vintage pair of "Realistic Nova 40" headphones. Bar none, there are the absolute worst pieces of garbage crap excuse for a pair of headphones that I have ever had the displeasure of wearing. They sound like complete ASS. I can't even describe how bad they sound. Unfortunately until I have my sextetts back, they are all I have

You really shouldn't let me see these kinds of thoughts, because if I were more cruel than I already am (is that possible?), there might be unexpected delays in getting the work on your sextetts finished.

What city are you in? Maybe a local Head-Fi'er could arrange a loan for you. I hate to see someone suffer.

I have a pile of discarded earbuds. Most are probably better than those crappophones.

I wonder if 2 stamps would be enough to get some ibuds to you.

Lol...

don't worry about sending me headphones... I've found that when you go from listing to the worst pair of headphones ever made (these nova 40s), to a really great pair (my sextetts), you have some huge eargasms!

Just want to get the word out on these. They are total CRAP. I'm not kidding when I say they are the worst things I've ever heard. Airplane headphones sound better than these (not kidding).

Realistic NOVA 40 HI FI Stereo Headphone $12 obo!!!

What's wrong with them?

 

[wrecked_porsche]

I did a search on google, man they even look like crap too!

 

[ueyteuor]

lol, i got a pair of nova 40's from goodwill.. and when i read this thread, i was going to mention the nova 40's as being one of the worst. what a coincidence

You know you got a piece of junk when you have to include "OBO" for a $12 item.

Dude they look like welll....You know were that goes but man bummer i know how its like to have soniq blues and no good headphones to ease them away man i was there with some jensen buds i think . Now i got some decent cans from jcv there cheap but they'll hold me down untill i get enough for my DX3's. I hope you get your cans back soon.

(ps) try painting them a fun color so that they don't look as bad

LOL!

The only thing I can say, they are EXTREMELY durable. Thats about it.

I opened one of the earcups. They appear to be using paper speaker drivers.

Ah, good old cardboard fart phones.

Yup. But I am curious about something. I re soldered the wires to the 1/4" plug because they were about to break. There are only 3 wires. How can it be stereo? This is probably a dumb question but I thought that each driver needs two separate wires. Also... each driver has 3 separate wires soldered to it!

A cheap Skullcandy that i can't remember the model is definitely in my top list. There is always the Apple stock Ipod earphones too ...

Maybe they share grounding?
