Where to Buy Vintage, Over-Ear Headphones?
|
I really miss the old Pioneer over-ear headphones that my dad used to
have. They were the kind that weighed a ton, covered your entire ear,
and sounded amazing. I've been searching eBay and am watching a few
auctions, but am wondering if there are any Web sites selling old
headphones like that. Suggestions?

Got mine at a Pawn shop, paid $2 a pair. Hitachi, Jana and AKG.
Jana sounded the best, I think they were/are late 80's.

Back in the late 70' and the 80's the Koss Pro 4AA were the "over the ear"
headphones to own ( at least at an affordable price). Looks like they still
make them too:
Most of the radio stations were using them as they provided great isolation
and were very durable.
Back then no one would was using Pioneer headphones for serious listening
unless they were servicemen returning from overseas ( to the US).

Those aren't necessarily "vintage"; they're still made. I was in a
recording studio not long ago, and we all got to wear that kind of
headphone (fairly new ones). Look around. web-search even.
