![]() ![]() ![]() Whether you’re commuting to work, hitting the gym, or just relaxing at home, headphones play an important role in your daily life. When this was rolling out, JBL wasnt ready to introduce the new K-Series line yet in its entirety since it included a couple of new models, the K145 and the K151.If you’re like most people, you probably use headphones every day. When JBL developed the K Series, Fender wanted a cosmetic change to delineate from the grey JBL. So.around 1974ish.maybe ease dont hold me entirely accountable for the historical details. Some stuff comes from observation and talking with people that worked there. Not everything is as you hear, and not everything is accurately documented.

Youre much better off finding Ks, or factory re-cones, or even the very recent re-cones of guys like Edgewound and others whove (very nearly) cracked the code with aftermarket parts.
