Re: Vintage Radio Shack Headphones.....
These were used with an old portable GE Cassette Play/Recorder in the 1970's.
The GE Cassette Player/Recorder didn't survive no more than 3 years.
I replaced it for a Panasonic AM/FM Stereo Cassette {Boom Box}.
I don't know what happened too the Boom Box, since I gave it to one of my brothers to use.
Anyway.........
The Headphones are still fully functional, and I've used them with a Camcorder and Portable Video Recorder.
Wish I could of found actual replacement Ear Foam Pads, instead of having too make them myself.

Re: Vintage Radio Shack Headphones.....
That boom box looks like one I used to have! Actually, it was my late Uncle's before he gave it to me. With both phonograph and aux inputs and both aux and speaker outputs, it was a temporary base unit that he used for recording both his practices and creative sessions for his music, in addition to just listening to music. And let's not skip the 1/4" headphone jack. I think my eldest still has it.
How's the fidelity of the headphones? I remember seeing them back in the day but don't remember the specs.

Re: Vintage Radio Shack Headphones.....
Hmmm...........
I've tried looking up the spec's, but have found no info on what the frequency response range is on these.
Though, I found an old Radio Shack Ad from 1968 that says it could be used for dictation or hooked up to a CB for listening.
This makes me think that they have poorer bass response than larger Headphones.
This is true with most Ear Buds.
