Theunnamed Posted September 15, 2011 Report Posted September 15, 2011 I was wondering what some headphone brands were that have vintage looking headphones. The ones I have on my list right now are Grado and Alessandro. Any help would be nice. That's really my only preference atm. Thx guys.
blessingx Posted September 15, 2011 Report Posted September 15, 2011 Quick Google of 'furry' and 'hemp' pulled up these.
grawk Posted September 15, 2011 Report Posted September 15, 2011 The Sennheiser HD800s are very retro looking.
Voltron Posted September 15, 2011 Report Posted September 15, 2011 These older Grados are cool, and they come with a hat:
MoonShine Posted September 15, 2011 Report Posted September 15, 2011 I've been scrounging bottles and cans along the side of the road to save up for a pair of these babies:
Tyll Hertsens Posted September 15, 2011 Report Posted September 15, 2011 I like these old school wireless cans:
jvlgato Posted September 15, 2011 Report Posted September 15, 2011 These are the coolest headphones I've ever seen! I'm glad theunnamed made this post!
Voltron Posted September 15, 2011 Report Posted September 15, 2011 I like these old school wireless cans: I think those are Ulrasones, for the OP's benefit.
mypasswordis Posted September 15, 2011 Report Posted September 15, 2011 These IEMs are behind the ear and wireless, for ergonomics.
Pars Posted September 15, 2011 Report Posted September 15, 2011 I think those are Ulrasones, for the OP's benefit. No no, they are clearly iems. They may be IEMs, but the important take away from this is that they SOUND like Ultrasones...
Tyll Hertsens Posted September 15, 2011 Report Posted September 15, 2011 IEMs? Really? This must be one of them multi-driver jobs.
dBel84 Posted September 15, 2011 Report Posted September 15, 2011 those are all namby pamby , what you really need is a decent set for home listening and finally a picture of my initial desktop concept and it's final inception. simple lines and rural landscapes keep things tranquil.
Tyll Hertsens Posted September 16, 2011 Report Posted September 16, 2011 Pickering! Forgot about them. Here's a classic that's still available: Koss Pro 4AA
Voltron Posted September 16, 2011 Report Posted September 16, 2011 Whoa whoa whoa, stop the clock. You just gave some actual advice to Theunbrained. What were you thinking?!
Knuckledragger Posted September 16, 2011 Report Posted September 16, 2011 Tyll spent years on head-fi, acting as the representative of one of the largest online headphone and amp retailers. Giving sound advice to blithering cretins is his specialty.
rhythmdevils Posted October 9, 2011 Report Posted October 9, 2011 Blessing, are those pictures you posted (or at least the one with the army looking dudes) early radar type devices? Are they listening for airplanes? Pretty amazing. Those kinds of inventions are so much cooler than the new iphone4s with dual hemoraging flumoxes. The Pickering ad was cool too, it's interesting seeing old advertising it's so simple and straightforward.
HeadphoneAddict Posted October 9, 2011 Report Posted October 9, 2011 Pickering! Forgot about them. Here's a classic that's still available: Koss Pro 4AA Those are a big part of why I have chronic tinnitus now - as a stupid teenager in the 70's I played them loud enough to make my ears almost bleed (and the other part was the loud concerts - Kiss, Peter Frampton, Heart). I loved them at the time out of my Marantz 2240, but I wonder if I'd still like them today.
spritzer Posted October 9, 2011 Report Posted October 9, 2011 It's a bit shocking that they are still using that awful ESP9 headband...
