Who knows where to find bizarre headphones?

December 10, 2009 2:50 PM

Today I saw a guy wearing what looked to be a pair of headphones that resembled a half-box on his head. Rather than curved plastic, the headphones met at 90 degree angles. Has anyone else seen these and/or know who manufactures them?

Beyerdynamic DT 100?

To be fair, zsazsa, those guys would look like total dorks without the AKG K1000's.

I don't know what kind of headphones they are, but I don't think OP is describing square ear-pieces ... I think he means the "headstrap" part of the phones is square instead of rounded.

I dunno he said they resembled a "half box" which describes the pic I linked to first, the Jecklin Float, almost exactly.

Response by poster: These are the ones. Incredibly ridiculous, impractical earmuffphones. Thanks RustyBrooks!
