[SCCC] CW Headphones

So I've decided that my 45+ year-old headphones, which still work
perfectly fine but whose plastic cushions and ancient olde foam are
all cracked, dried-up or otherwise done for (nearly like me) over 20
years ago, just might be up for upgrading and replacement. I've
perused the available Heil phones but for one reason or another,
don't think those will fit the bill. Dunno about the MFJ phones but
there doesn't seem to be much data on them. Ordinary computer phones
such as "dynamic" types are a no-go; they just don't have the
presence or volume that my deaf ears require. They're good to fall
asleep with, but nothing to dig deeply into pileups with.
I'm looking for headphones that do NOT have "peaking" or "emphasis"
in the above-1000-cycle range; i.e., I'm not the least bit interested
in high frequency response (and particularly not voice
communications) since almost all (99.995%) of my operating is with my
narrow CW filters in and radios and filters peaked around the 660 Hz
range (or lower for certain weaker signals). They must be no higher
than 16 ohms and preferably 8 ohms.
Any suggestions?
