[QUOTE="capetownwatches, post: 809472, member: 19576"] A world first actually: [i]Sennheiser engineers for the first time combined the principle of open headphones with that of electrostatic transducer technology. Sennheiser?s launch of the unipolar 2000 model in 1977 caused a sensation in the audio world. Its principle was once again an innovation in audio technology. In the electrostatic transducer, a high voltage is applied to two mesh-like electrodes. As in a loudspeaker, this voltage causes a coated foil diaphragm to vibrate in time with the audio signal. This results in an extremely fine resolution and low total harmonic distortion. ?Its frequency curve has a relatively deep curvature from 2 to 4 kHz. This is one of the reasons why these headphones generate an extremely spacious, detailed, transparent, airy and nevertheless powerful sound image in unprecedented quality," was how one audio magazine ?Hifi-Stereofonie?, sang the praises of the new headphones.[/i] I bought mine pre-owned from a local audiophile (couldn't afford them new and they were very rare) and they were indeed the "best" headphones of their time.
