The Fisher HP-50s (c. 1968, High Fidelity Magazine) are a vintage over-ear headphone designed to reproduce natural sound without compromise in comfort or convenience. Originally costing $250 (in today's money), they featured foam-cushioned ear cups made of high-impact (ABS) plastic, a headband made of vinyl-covered, spring steel and are fully adjustable. HP-50 headphones were rated to provide impressive fidelity with unmeasurable distortion at normal listening levels. In our test, we found these to be very pleasing and flat over the entire midrange without harsh shrill highs or booming lows.

Made in Japan by Fisher, a mid-century pioneer company known for high-quality stereo components. The cups still appear flexible and crisp, and the cord is still supple.
