Does anyone else think these are seriously cool? Retro chic at its best from a very famous name!

I feel that way about the Marshall headphones....yuck

Much prefer the Steam Punk designs.....hooked up to a headphone amplifier that looks like a mini version of Gramaphone's amplifier.....cool !

Indeed....I love Metropolis :)

Steam Punk is retro Victoriana but an alternative history Victorian age with the sort of technology we have now but with a Victorian look and in some cases its steam powered.....its a great bit of fantasy and I love it. I think that anyone who likes HG Wells, Michael Moorcock etc will love Steam Punk.

I love antiques and sci-fi so mixing the two to create those kinds of designs is way cool in my book.

Not sure about this Victorian Steam Punk Dalek though.....

Yes that's a Steam Punk :) typed design.

As a idea/concept it has its origins in the writings of Verne and Well's and other more contemporary writers and movie directors but the term was first coined in the 90's as a foil to Cyber Punk

Marshall are a fantastic company I remember my friends amp sounding pretty poor he tried a few people to get it fixed in London but they just made it worse. So I drove him to Milton keynes. We had no appointment yet they fixed it straight away, gave us a tour of the factory and only charged £10 to fix a dry solder joint. Afterwards the amp was back to sounding stunning

If the phones are anything like thier amps then they are relying on the name to make them sell. Quality isnt their strong point.

Retro-cool looks yes.

However would bet they are MASSIVELY uncomfortable/sweaty to wear and probably sound pretty pants too....

Hi Steve,

You're probably right, but for 99 Euros I think they're worth a punt, so I might treat myself. I'd only end up spending it anyway on more booze! :eyebrows:
