AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The beautifull Bang & Olufsen headphone model U70 from designer Jacob Jensen is getting more rare, which makes this a real collectors item!

This pair of headphones is in near perfect condition, despite being almost 50 years old. All lettering is vivid and undamaged.

U70 headphones were lightweight (only 300 grams) and were very comfortable to wear, even for long periods. The ear cups could be individually adjusted both vertically and laterally and locked into position. Their height could be adjusted their height using the inner headband. The softly-padded ear cups were of the semi-open type and excluded most extraneous noises. However they were not so completely sealed that the user could not hear the phone ringing.

Technically the U70s had a power handling capacity of 2 watts RMS and used the ortho-dynamic principle to reproduce sound with all the accuracy and fidelity of a good loudspeaker. They were supplied with 3 metres of cable fitted to a 6,5 mm jack plug.
