Vintage Nokia headphones

[vitsinkevich]

Hello.

I came across a pair of old Nokia monitor headphones and I'm attempting to identify their model. Despite searching online, I couldn't find any information about them. They are labeled as the LH-270 model, described as Digital Monitor Stereo Headphone. Surprisingly, after testing them, they still work remarkably well. I would greatly appreciate any assistance in discovering further details about these headphones. Thank you in advance for your help!

Interesting. Based on the styling and labeling I'd guess that they date from the 1980s (when everything started to be marketed as "digital") to the early 1990s. Taking a brief look at Nokia's history, in the 1980s, they were involved a bunch of different electronics industries, including consumer electronics; however, the lack of significant mention of headphones made during that period leads me to think that they were OEMed by a third party for Nokia. Multi driver headphones back then were pretty uncommon (not they're all that well-known today, but there are more models now then there were then), but a Google search for vintage dual driver headphones yielded nothing similar. Does it say anywhere on them where they were made?

What type of plug do they use?

Thank you for your input! They have a standard 3.5mm plug, but unfortunately, I couldn't find any manufacturing origins or markings on them. If anyone has more information about these headphones, I'd love to know. Thanks!
