I think they were part of the Sony organisation and were best known in the UK at the time for affordable reel to reel recorders. Bought in 1967 from Wallace Heaton (mainly a chain of photographic shops) at their Brighton(UK) branch.
They were closed back but had small rotating knobs that changed the opening of an air vent (a bit like a port of a speaker) to tune the bass. Any good? I was 17 years old and loved them. They were replaced with the classic Sennheiser HD414s a year or two later which were in another league.
