Favorite Headphones Question
 

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.

30 year old Pioneer full headphones I picked up new in the box at an

Sennheiser HD424
Beyer DT100
Sennheiser ?? Folding set desiged for use with an MP3 player,
they work well with the DX398 and my Rio Chiba I use during PT.

Sony Active Noise Canceling Sony(R) MDR-NC5 Noise-Canceling.
A friend loaned me a pair and it is an odd feeling to turn on the
earphones
and the background noise simply vanishes, or goes down by at least 20
to 30dB. I am still trying to decide if I like these. Time will tell I
guess.

It has been my expereince better earphones can help by not adding
unwanted coloration to the audio. Cheap ones "smear" the sound.

And yea, I know this sounds like I am pushing some sort of audio snake
oil. I still have a big problem with even thinking about "clean" audio
in a
SWL context. After all, the signal is pretty well mangled by the time
it
gets to our radios. For humour I like to browse some of the "high end"
audio
pages and laugh at the nonesense that people push. Burn in your CD,
amp,
speakers and Oxy free wire with a "white noise" source. They are almost
as funny as the TV series Jericho.

I use the Sennheiser HD580 headphones for DX'ing voice's. They are full
range but DO NOT pump up the 300 -100 hz area like so many "HIFi"
headphones.

I like the JRC ST-3 for CW. All midrange. No highs & only go down to
maybe 90 hz ???

I also like the ST-3 during warmer weather when there are Lightning
crashes. They seem to soften the crashes abit.

The Heil ProSet headphones sound really nice as well. They are not
nuetral in Freq response as they seem to be "voiced" with the typical
smilley face on a equalizer but do help readability on voices but not
as well as the HD580's do.

ABSOLUTELY on the Sony MDR V150 for modern radios.

But the BEST headphones for shortwave listening which I have EVER used
(and still use occasionally) are the Clevite "Brush" Crystal Headphones
Model BA-200. They have restricted frequency range to minimize static
and hiss, and overall clear and bright sound up to about 5000 Hz. When
you can't "read" a signal through a loudspeaker, these come to the
rescue! Unfortunately the impedance is so high (45,000[!] Ohms at 1000
Hz) that the volume is greatly attenuated when using them with modern
radios. But used with my old Lafayette HE-10 (or any other classic tube
receiver), they are tops. And I mean TOPS! I bought mine in July 1962
and they are still as good as new!

Best,

Joe
