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.
