As others have also noted, there is one thing that is very cool about the old Soviet tech - it came with a proper instruction manual that often even included complete wiring schematics and repair instructions.

My grandfather was a musician and he had various Soviet audio devices. And once he gave me huge and super uncomfortable Soviet headphones, I already forgot the name. I immediately put them on the shelf and forgot. And then, somehow it happened that my Razor headphones broke, I remembered those that had a big jack, I cut them through the adapter, and damn it, the razor didn’t have such a clear sound, it was some kind of ancient magic .

The ТДС-16 are actually a very interesting pair, still very desirable in Russian audiophile community. There's people who mod the hell out of them and seem to be getting a very solid sound. The reason being their orthodynamic construction (aka isodynamic), a technology not seen much nowadays. Diagram at 5:45 explains very well how they work: a very thin 10um membrane has an electromagnetic coil evenly distributed across its surface. The coil is formed by pattern-etching a thin layer of metal deposition. Then the membrane is sandwiched between two perforated magnets. Very light weight of the membrane in this construction is supposedly very good for accurately reproducing high frequencies, and the uniformity of magnetic field should be good for bass. The most common mod appears to be to stuff some cotton or fabric into the casing to dampen the sound and make them sound less tinny.

Yep, literally headphones. (Phones mean voice/sound on creece). It's really outdated name even for date of production this tds.

помню в середине 80-х когда в Березке в Москве купил однокассетнуюкассетную стереомагнитолу НАЦИОНАЛПАНАСОНИК , долго не мог подключить к ней стереонаушники ТДС-5 , так как ни в одном радиомагазине не бывало в продаже миниджеков 3.5 , даже моно , не только стерео. Я даже не знал как он должен выглядеть , на всех наушниках был 5-пиновый штекер , как и на советских магнитофонах. Кое-как достал джек 3.5 с переходником на 5-пин , но тот был моно и я мог слышать лишь левый канал. Лишь гораздо позже , увидев у кого-то самодельный стерео- джек 6.7мм. я узнал конструкцию и вручную сделал из своего моно стереоверсию , а через пару лет в магазинах свободно появились недорогие переходники )))

Кстати говоря, никогда не видел таких наушников, но у меня есть ТГ-7М, которые автору наверное весьма понравились бы) PS Там написано ТДС-16 (TDS-16, вовсе не TAC) и "телефон головной", в данном случае "телефоном" называют динамик, а "головной" - означает, что он одевается на голову (логично, правда?). Переводчик, видимо, не способен это понять). В таких наушниках, кстати, просто отсекаются все низкие частоты, поэтому они и звучат таким образом. Ну и напоследок: я ничего не понял из истеричного (прости) голоса автора, но видео все равно заставило меня посмеяться на некоторых моментах
