Description

This set of headphones might look like the rotary dial of an old-fashioned telephone, but it’s actually the enameled top of a powder compact made in the 1940s or ’50s. The idea for this whimsical piece from the Museum’s collection may have come from a similar compact designed in 1935 by Salvador Dalí (Spanish, 1904–1989) for fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli (Italian, 1890–1973).

Decorative exterior: soft PVC.

Technical Specifications:
Cord length: 3.6 ft. (1.1 m)
Impedance: 32 ohms +/- 10%
Sensitivity: 105 dB +/- 5
Frequency response: 20 Hz–180 kHz
Rated input power: 15 mW
Maximum input power: 30 mW
