faust3d Posted August 28, 2008 Report Posted August 28, 2008 Looks like some OEM china made shit to me. Some made up ARTHUR FORTY company. For the Russian speaking: гавно на палочке Quote
dvse Posted August 28, 2008 Report Posted August 28, 2008 Indeed, chinese OEM designed garbage sold under a name that sounds respectable to the russian consumer. This 'brand' is either made up or actually existed decades ago and was bought for a few pennies. Quote
Knuckledragger Posted August 28, 2008 Report Posted August 28, 2008 Arthur Pewtey makes headphones now? Does that mean Eric Idle steals the drivers? Quote
Hopstretch Posted August 28, 2008 Report Posted August 28, 2008 Arthur Pewtey makes headphones now? Does that mean Eric Idle steals the drivers? Arthur "Two Drivers" Forty. Get yer own headphone brand, ya fairy! Quote

For the Russian speaking: гавно на палочке Gavno na 'headband' ... head-case vsetaki. Ya that makes sense knowing the way Russian market works, especially seeing how the microphones look like more like a portable gas stove. Quote
hirsch Posted September 2, 2008 Report Posted September 2, 2008 Wow, pretty craptacular specs regarding nominal impedance. +/- 15%?!??! I'm imagining a room full of monkeys and drivers getting closer matched pairs... Remember that impedance of many drivers changes with frequency. If that +/- 15% represents changes over the entire frequency response, it might actually be a pretty good spec. Alternatively, they could report an impedance at a particular frequency and get a much tighter, but less useful, spec. Finally, driver matching could simply be crap, but I wouldn't assume it without considering alternatives. Quote

That's a good point Hirsch regarding the variable impedance of a driver over the full frequency range. But I can't recall ever seeing a man'f spec their drivers like that before. Quote
