[TenTec] Phones?

[AC5E at aol.com]

Headphones are pretty much a matter of choice. Someone mentioned using  Brush 
earbiters with a pair of face powder sponges for padding a while back - a la 
1953 USMC practice - but his jug handles must be smaller than mine. Although 
there are few things better for copying CW. 

Personally, for comfort over the distance I generally use a set of Sony 
Studio monitors, and keep the volume down. If the ability to hear what's 
going on around me is important I have several lightweight sponge padded 
'phones from a variety of sources. 

I also use Heil headsets,  MFJ's with individual volume controls, one of 
several sets of Radio Shack's , a pair of Koss that are almost as comfortable 
as the Sony's. 

Since the Brush elements aren't available in a decent earcup, you pays your 
money and takes your choice, and the more money you pays the more comfortable 
they are likely to be.
