Well, the set pictured is most certainly not NOS. $125 is way too much for those, IMHO.

Thanks, Robert. I do have one complete set of ANB-H1s here which work very well, but I 
prefer the higher-impedance phones

OK. Thanks for that info.

Another set of phones I have and use were originally from one of those "deck-talker" 
sound-powered jobs. I don't know the impedance, but they are REALLY sensitive phones 
and they are my favorite phones at this point.

I also have a set of headphones whose cables terminate in a BNC fitting. I think these were 
originally intended to be used with some sort of radiation monitor. Anyway, they also are 
some sort of "high impedance" phones and are pretty sensitive. They are grey and the 
ear-cups are pretty comfortable.
