Vintage headphone identification needed.

[[email protected]]

Anyone know the model / brand of a 2-way headphone (meaning it had a
seperate woofer and tweeter in each side) that sold on the early 80's?
I used them as
a teenager at a friends house and I thought they sounded great but I
have never encountered anything like it before. These phones were
large but flat (they didn't
have a big cup but more of a flat plane that housed drivers).

"Two drivers" sounds like AKG, but "flat plane" sounds like Stax.
Neither fits both parts of your description: the AKGs have cups and Stax
are electrostatic.

Good luck!

I'm pretty sure these weren't stax or elctrostatics. The ear pieces
were thinner than the stax but also not as big in diameter. Thanks for
trying though.
