The current headphone series is labelled 1900 - 1935. This only applies to the Neufeldt & Kuhnke Original Version (VR).

Our headphone series include the following years of origin:

Neufeldt & Kuhnke (VR) 1900 to 1935 (after which Hagenuk took over).
The UR and SEY series cover the years of manufacture, 1900 to around 1950. A few such headphones were still made after 1950, for example in England.

In future, we will rebuild Bakelite headphones. These were built in Europe and the USA until around 1960, in the Soviet Union and East Germany even into the 80s.

Our connection cables are stage cables from Sommercable, "Made in Germany", which are custom-made for us.
The plug is from HICON and also "Made in Germany", and it can be screwed on. This is a top quality product!
An extension cable can be connected to the connector, with a 6.3 mm thick connector that can also be unscrewed.
The extension cable is available in 2 lengths, as already described: Sommercable plus HICON plug (all HICON plugs are gold-plated and can be unscrewed).
The normal cable is 1.20 m long.

Other special features:

The built-in speakers are very good quality and branded goods from Monacor. These are often used as spare parts.

For the soundproofing, we only use real sheep's wool, which comes from Schleswig-Holstein, mostly from the Arche Wader animal park.

The cushions of the earmuffs are made of vegan synthetic leather from YAXI in Japan. Again, this is top quality that is appreciated by DJs around the world.

We also thought about the packaging of the headphones: the side parts of the box are made of wood from disposable pallets, the lid and the bottom are made of poplar.

The lid and base are uniquely laser engraved here on site in Kiel (Mr. Beam).

The box is lined with real wool felt made from 100% sustainable wool.

Model SEY-2 • 1/200

Headphones (heavy duty, outdoor) from the years 1920-1930
Particularities:
We have lovingly restored the leather of the head section of these headphones. Thus, a large part of the beautiful, almost French design is preserved. Extremely unusual are the knurled screws with Dr. Nesper Phone logo on the surface. This design element is extremely rare and very eye-catching.
