Default Favorite Headphones Question

What do you want to listen to, the audio of the radio program or the noise
from your receiver?
For listening to talk radio programs and SWL a HiFi set of cans will give
you listeners fatigue.

For serious weak signal SW DXing I use Kenwood HS-5 which limits the audio
frequencies to the critical audio spectrum where my ear is most sensitive
and the audio that is available from a radio broadcast.
For portable/casual SWL & talk radio I use the Sennheiser PX-200 whose audio
frequency response cuts out in the high audio frequencies which are not
present in radio audio, just receiver noise - fatigue.

If you want HiFi look at Grado cans.

I've been using walmart or cheap radio shack phones that my kids give
me. I don't think more expensive phones would do me any good cause I
just listen to talk radio and never music.
I've been using the kind with foam puffys. Maybe I will spend 25bucks
for a pair of the Sennheiser HD201. They are full sized. Check out
the expensive ones at the bottom of the page.

So do you have a favorite headphone? Bose? Koss? Sennheiser?
