[TenTec] Orion....Best Headphones?

[A. Sewell]

I'm using some Sony MDR-V600 headphones with my Orion and really like 
them.  The only problem I have had is the covering on the headband has 
come apart.  It is a very thin plastic material.  So far I haven't been 
able to find a replacement covering.  I have had them a couple of years.

If I were buying headphones now I would consider the Sennheiser HD 580.  
Great reviews on eHam.  They are about $150 on the internet.
