I have two pairs of RS Pro-25's. I bought them for $19.95 each when they
went on sale every year. They have very good sound with low distortion.
They were made for RS by Koss.

Getting back to the topic, I still don't recommend full range (fidelity)
headphones for shortwave listening. They exaggerate the high frequency
heterodynes, if they can't be removed with a notch filter or bandpass
filtering on the receiver. You may not always be aware of those het'
tones but they can lead to listener fatique.
Some of the best shortwave headphones are the old ones with full ear
cups that use small cheap speakers. You can find them at garage sales
and flea markets. They have the kind of speakers found inside of
computer cases which make the 'beap' when you turn the computer on.

I have a pair of PRO-25 titanium headphones that are quite nice and
they cost less than $40 new (I got mine used for $5 at a thrift store)

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?
