For SWL, get the $19.95 Koss - you won't notice the difference.

If I remember right though (and I might be wrong) the Koss isn't a 'cushy'
headphone is it? I remember seeing them, didn't think to much of them. What
is the part that encircles your ear made of?

I'll make a note of what you said if you'll respond. Thanks Gregg.
