> I have the following headphones I've swapped back and forth on my Orion,

> 
> Sony        MDR-V900    Z=250  (Very expensive,but very comfortable head
> piece and very good audio)
> 
> Heil Pro Headset            Z= no one knows    (close race with the Sony's)
> 
> KOSS     KTX 1            Z=32 ohms            (would work, but weak audio)
> 
> Kenwood  KPM-310    Z=8 ohms            (very loud, but very tinny sound)

> Just to me personally, the Sony is the best sounding, but the Heil is a VERY

> do contest, neither the Sony nor the Heil gives you 'ear burn' after wearing
> them for 20 hours straight. Both are very light on the ears, but both also
> greatly cut out background noise.
