OMG Offical Atari Headphones

WatchTower · 9 Jul 2011 at 20:15

In Tesco and they have Atari Headphones £19.99. They might suck but who cares I want em. I may take pics when I get home if anyone's interested in what they look like.

I'd rather buy a decent pair, thanks.

Atari suck these days.

Yea, mine shrank and 40 year old geezers are wearing the same one =/

You can't even escape to Spain any more without finding someone wearing the same Primark shirt as you. CURSE YOU PRIMARK

nothing exciting, just plain headphones with Atari name and logo

So basically just cheap £3 headphones with Atari printed on them? Great.

IF they were gamers back then that generation never gets a break huh

. It wasn't that cool for them then and isn't now apparently.

So cheap tat with the Atari logo on the side.

Classy.

Look like overpriced "retro" tat to me, saw them in HMV the other day.

They're a blatant cash-in on the similarities between the WeSC and Atari logos. WeSC do a range of very popular headphones. I guess that's WeSC's fault for ripping off the Atari logo in the first place.

atari are cool and will always be cool

Schizo · 11 Jul 2011 at 09:49

they do look cool to be honest.

might have to get a pair and see what they are like

UKDTweak · 11 Jul 2011 at 09:51

I got a pair of these from HMV around january, awful sound and not too comfortable, needless to say I took them straight back and exchanged them with a bit of extra cash for a decent pair of sennheiser...

Schizo · 11 Jul 2011 at 09:59

i understand that sennheiser are going to be better but having a pair of atari headphones is purely for nostalgic reason

UKDTweak · 11 Jul 2011 at 10:00

Thing is, I got them to replace an old pair of cheap Phillips headphones, they atari were worse thean the phillips ones LOL
