Description from the seller

A rare and characterful set of vintage Yamaha headphones, originally supplied for use with Yamaha’s renowned Electone organ systems, and inspired by the same neutral, reference-focused philosophy that made the NS studio monitor series legendary.

Designed for clarity and precision, these headphones deliver a balanced, natural sound signature ideal for practice, monitoring, and vintage hi-fi listening. Built during Yamaha’s golden era of audio engineering, they reflect the brand’s commitment to musical accuracy and reliability.
With their classic styling and solid Japanese construction, these headphones are not only practical but also highly collectible—perfect for vintage audio enthusiasts or as a unique pairing with period Yamaha equipment.
