About this product

Product Information

Turn on the stereo, throw on a record, and listen to your favorite tunes like it is 1969. These Sennheiser HD 414 headband headphones bring an authentic feel to your vintage audio experience. With their yellow foam earpads and powerful sound quality, these headphones pack in lots of retro fun and charm. Back in the 1960's, audiophiles bought large over-ear Koss or Grado headphones. These usually sounded good, but they were heavy, bulky, and generally uncomfortable to wear. In 1968, Sennheiser shook up the home audio market with the release of its 414's. Suddenly, there was a lightweight, comfortable alternative that did not compromise on sound quality. Music fans loved them and they quickly became bestsellers. These headphones remain popular vintage audio accessories. The Sennheiser 414 model features a freqency range of 20 to 20,000 Hz, which brings out depth in both the sub-bass and bass range. The headphone cans also let acoustic color shine through the midrange and treble frequencies. With a 10-foot cable, you can comfortably relax on the couch as you listen. The foam pads on the pair of cans are soft on the ears and the band is lightweight. This headphone model came out in the 1960's, which means that it includes a 1/4-inch stereo phone connection. Most vintage amplifier models offer this type of connection, so it is compatible with older amps. Sennheiser HD 414 headhphones offer low enough impedance to pair well with portable devices such as Walkmans, Discmans, MP3 players, and smartphones. However, you should use 3.5mm adapter to connect the cable to your device. Sennheiser HD 414 headband headphones hold up very well, even after years of use. Their high quality design does not degrade easily, so they can still sound as good as they did in 1968. Occasionally, external parts such as the foam pads or the cable can show signs of wear. You can easily find replacements for the original yellow foam pads, so you can restore your pair to its former glory. If the headphone cable is worn, Sennheiser also produces compatible replacement cables for its headphone models. These require little effort to install, so you do not need a lot of electronic expertise to replace the cable on your 414's. Simply remove the old cable from the cans and plug in the replacement. If you prefer a newer set of headphones with a retro feel, look out for the Sennheiser HD 414 Anniversary Edition. This 1995 edition preserved the original design of the classic model, but gave the electronic components an upgrade. This edition features a frequency response of 18 to 21,000 Hz, offering a boost on both the bass and treble ends. It also has an impedance level of 52 ohms and includes an adapter for 3.5mm headphone jacks, which makes it a great option for modern portable music players.

Better condition than I'd hoped for (although seller was extremely diligent in their description of condition). What tickled me no end was the way it was packaged. Such a thorough job ! It was obvious that the seller cares very much about delivering their product in top notch condition.. this tells you what kind of person they are; caring and professional...

  • Old technology still good technology

    I bought an original set of HD414 soon after they came out (yup, I've been around a while), and they were falling apart from the use. Got the anniversary model and would still have them if a foster greyhound hadn't decided they were a chew toy (she was a cute dog but if we had a god house she would have been there until she was adopted. Still has a new set of replacement foam ear pads - the only thing problematic with them is the ear pads would deteriorate do had bought a couple of replacements. Now, to the sound. I do video editing in a home office, and while I use Sony pro headsets when doing production, I find them too confining when editing. Working late at night, the 414s are perfect. Lightweight, great sound, can work with them for hours. I bought one of the smaller Sennheisers, ...

  • Been around a long time for a reason!

    My first headphones were the original 414s (not the SL), and I still have them. I've had to replace the foam cushions (get the REAL ones from Sennheiser in Old Lyme CT, not an imitation). That was 1973. I've been around a while also, with my Dynaco SCA-80Q amp, FM-5 tuner, AR-6 speakers.... They still sound GREAT! Yes, I have the HD 280s, the 518, the 558, 595, 598. But these are still tops. It seems like a high price. My receipt (yes, I still have that) says they cost me a huge $24.99, quite a bit for an 8th grader in 1973, so this seems like a lot. But go to headphone dot com's build-a-graph (an awesome tool) and compare the frequency response curves (with adjustment for any volume level) for up to 4 models of just about any out there. These stand the test of time. I'll never give them ...

  • The best set of headphones every made by anybody!

    I've used this model of phones since I started in broadcasting some 30 years ago. I've never found a better set of phones for my purposes.

  • as good as I remember

    Had the originals for 50 or so years, then my dog chewed up one of the capsules, so this was a needed replacement, very happy to find it.
