Description from the seller

Item Description
Offered here is a vintage pair of Pioneer SE-20A stereo headphones, a model renowned for its robust construction and classic 1970s design. This particular unit is in very good condition, with the white plastic ear cups remaining clean and well-preserved. The thick padded headband and over-ear cushions provide comfort for extended listening. These headphones come complete with their original box, which shows signs of wear consistent with age but is structurally intact. Produced until 1974, the SE-20A is now a sought-after collectible for both audio enthusiasts and vintage electronics collectors. Featuring an 8-ohm impedance, they were designed for home hi-fi systems and studio monitoring, offering a rich and balanced sound.
