I guess I was the one that kind of got this thread going, so I figure I should let you all know how I solved the problem. Originally I asked about low level headphone volume on the Orion. You all contributed advice and good answers. So I did some additional learning and solved the problem.

I bought a pair of the cheep China headphones. (Cheep is better in this case.) I also bought two 32 ohm elements with 300Hz to 3000 Hz band width, (Digi-Key 423-1037-ND). The headphones came in a few days ago. I took them apart, and put the new elements in. The level of the audio is now more what I expected, and the roll off takes care of the high end noises and scratchiness. Typical communication quality audio. Much easier listening now.

Admittedly, the China headphone are cheaply made, and definitely not the most comfortable but the audio is what I wanted. Some day I will stumble onto a decent pair of ear pads to improve the comfort.

So, cheep is better, and learning something from the advice is even more better.

Yes, the headphones came warped just as you all said. No paper work or instructions, and many layers of tape that defied destruction by our Post Office.

Thanks for all the help.
