Description from the seller
This vintage Pioneer SE-255 is a beautiful example of the robust build quality from the 1970s. The model is known for its independent volume control per ear cup, which at the time was a luxury feature. The headphones feature large 70mm drivers with carbon fiber blend diaphragms, delivering a warm and full sound that suits vinyl listening sessions perfectly. The soft artificial leather ear pads and adjustable headband provide high wearing comfort, despite the sturdy weight.
