No noise-cancellation, no clever bass-boosting, and no customization: what you see is exactly what you get with the ST-90’s.  Ashidavox apparently invented the stereo headphones back in the 1950s, though I’m having trouble finding sources to corroborate that.

Weighing 150g, the headphones come with a 2m cord but little else.  The Ashidavox ST-90 headphones are available now, priced at $79.99.
