For those whose idea of "bass" is something with the overpressure of a shaped charge and the cyclic frequency of a steam locomotive, a larger earpiece is required than is available on standard headphones. Viking headphones house a massive driver in a curved, perfectly optimized waveguide to inflict
all of that window-bending audio directly onto the tympanic membranes.
The on-cord equalizer includes two presets, "Ragnarok" and "Wagner".
(??) I think she's wearing them in this picture . . .

real Viking helmets probably didn't have them [mrthingy, Oct 04 2004, last modified Oct 21 2004]

[RayfordSteele] wanted a reminder. Here it is.

But what good is a limit on the MP3 player if you have super-efficient, amplified headphones? [lurch, Dec 13 2009]

I like the image. Do they come in a range of sizes? I want to listen to the Ring cycle with my Mighty Valhalla set. |
|
| |
Remind me to invest in the hearing aid market as our generation ages. |

Comes with the battleaxe CD player? |
|

Can I get mine with Brunhilde braids attached? |

//(mental picture of lurch wearing a copper bra-plate... eww...)// - shush, DrC will hear... |

Wow. These'd probably ensure me my own seat on the rush hour bus (+). |

[mrthingy] - I had found that exact page while trying to ensure the historical accuracy of this invention. I finally decided that historical accuracy could go hang, 'cause I was going to put horns on anyway. |
|
| |
You could call them Minnesota Viking headphones. Then there would be no inaccuracy (if you were concerned about that). |
|

Hmm, yeah... maybe one of those football helmets with the oversized concussion prevention cap. Involve the entire upper cranial surface for audio... I can see it, but I'm afraid there might be a new idea in it. Appropriate cred to you when it happens, [mrthingy]. Or feel free to beat me to it. |

<swisscheese tag, UnaBubba's deleted anno asking> How big are these headphones?</swiss> |
|
| |
I think I'll have to take a hacksaw to a Bose speaker to find out how to set it up. Probably about 20 inches by 14 (measured as per Boone & Crockett bison rules, C & D1), but mostly hollow so not too heavy. |

Personally, I'd like to see that hoary old "arrow-through-the-head" doohickey redone in a combined headphone/MP3 player version. |
|
| |
I so wish that I could bun this again. Every time I read this I Cheshire smile. Great. |
|
| |
Equalizers affixed each horn, Yeah! |
|
| |
Nice (+) Jerith was a genius. |
|
| |
Interesting. The //copper bra-plate// presumably holds a sub-woofer for inflicting the deep bass into your abdominal cavity? |
|
| |
An ice pick would be much cheaper, mercifully quicker, and only marginally more painful. |
