Hi Beoworlders,

Anton at Skynnex AV has kindly lent me a pair of classic B&O U70 headphones from 1978.

Who would be interested to hear how B&O's first ever headphones sound compared to the latest H95?

(I have a binaural recording headset to enable me to record the sound of the headphones in stereo on video)

Please let me know what you think...

Kind regards, Steve.

Then you should definetly watch Steve's video on old headphones vs new ones. It feature U70 but also Form 1 and Form 2 if I remember correctly.

Thanks Andreas!

Here is the link to my review of 6 new and classic B&O headphones filmed at B&O Derby: https://youtu.be/4N23rHBPjm4 

This video was made a year or so ago, so it doesn't have sound tests included, but I am adding these in to my more recent videos.

Kind regards, Steve.
