[CQ-Contest] Headphones for CW

[Barry]

My favorite headphones are Sony in-the-ear MDR-W08.  They were about $10 
at Wal-Mart or Target.  The model number may be different now as these 
are about 10 years old.  I've used them for 48h contests without any 
discomfort.  They are only useful for single-op, as they let it WAY too 
much room noise to use at a Multi.  I used some Senheisers at K0RF last 
weekend, and my ears hurt after about 2 hours.
