Is it just me or is anybody else really annoyed by the BS Koss have spewed claiming to have invented all of this? I very much doubt that they were the first ones to wire up each cup separately for stereo even though stereo was brand new at that point. So they do that in '58 and Stax release an electrostatic stereo set in 1959?

Seems like a reasonable timeline to me.

Could be but they also claim they invented electrostatic headphones in 1968. Perhaps I'm just cranky from listening to the SR-009 all day...

I'm just thankful that Al Gore invented the internet.

I like pie and I made some today. Also had to endure the sheer torture of comparing two cupcake recipes...
