At Radio Shack, they have this pait of phones that are 99.99 that are
made out
of titanium. They fit super and definitely 'felt' expensive. Anyone with
any
experience with these. Would they be good for DXing?

I have the Optimus Pro40's and have worn out the inside foam part so I
have
black electrical tape nicely encircled into it. But I definitely need
some
news phones, and I looked at the others and they were junk except this
one
pair.

Figures it's made out of titanium and cost $99.99
Is there something I should look at in the specs to bring back to the
group?

There is a product called GOOP that you can use to repair rubber & vinyl
it is so tough it is sold to the Nike-Rebok crowd as "SHOE-GOO" to rebuild
soles, toes, heels...dries to pure rubber

I usd it to rescue deteriorated cups on a KOSS headset

First thing. Did you check on the availability of the foam for your present
pair?

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.

SPECIFICATIONS:
• Frequency Response: 20-20,000 Hz
• Maximum Input Power: 100 mW
• Impedance: 60 ohm
• Nominal Sensitivity: 98dB
• Total Harmonic Distortion: 0.2% at 95 dB SPL, 400Hz and 1 KHz


Are those good specs though RHF for dxing? Anyone in the knows here? I don't
want to get a pair of phones that aren't good for long sessions of dxing.

produce dynamic sound
and are perfect for listening from your computer, MP3 or CD player

I use none of these, nor do I forsee it happening in the future.

I'll write down that cat.# and take a look.
****right now though the most important thing to me is getting an 'extension
jack' for my external antenna jack that I can leave plugged in.*****

thanks rhf:-)

Look in the spec's for frequency range and distortion
levels.

I wouldn't know exactly what numbers to look for Starman. What about the
numbers on the one RHF posted?

Meaning? Ask them "hey, do you happen to have an extra set of foam cups for
my phones I wore out." {?}

Koss are VERY cushy - they use foam covered with leatherette.

My Pro-120's did too, but the leatherette wore off, now I just have foam.

Didn't catch the brand you've got, but some (many?) manufacturers carry
replacement ear pads. For Sony, you'd better be sitting down when they
tell you the price.
