Recommendation for earbud headphones
 

Now that I have bought a new Yaesu VR-120 and Kaide KK-9702 (and
ordered a Tecsun pl-230), I need to get a good pair of earbud
headphones.
These will be used for travel and backpacking.
I currently have a pair of Radio Shack Digital that are about 8 years
old. They have a volume control on the line that I like because you
can turn it down quickly if someone talks to you.

What recommendations do you all have?

Thanks.

- so buy several pairs of cheap ones

I found a mono earbud (for use in one ear only) at Rat Shack that has
served well for several years, it was about $3. Like with all
earbuds, the foam needs periodic replacement. Rat Shack used to
(don't know if they still do) carry replacement foam pads. What I
like about only using one ear is that it makes it easier to hear
what's going on around you.

If you want sound in both ears check out what's available from Koss
and Sony. A quick trip to BestBuy or any similar store should solve
your dilemma.
