[TenTec] Computer Headset Secured -- Now What?

[Paul K.]

I guess I was the one that kind of got this thread going, so I figure I 
should let you all know how I solved the problem.  Originally I asked 
about low level headphone volume on the Orion.  You all contributed 
advice and good answers.  So I did some additional learning and solved 
the problem.

I bought a pair of the cheep China headphones. (Cheep is better in this 
case.)   I also bought two 32 ohm elements with 300Hz to 3000 Hz band 
width, (Digi-Key 423-1037-ND).  The headphones came in a few days ago.  
I took them apart, and put the new elements in.  The level of the audio 
is now more what I expected, and the roll off takes care of the high end 
noises and scratchiness.  Typical communication quality audio. Much 
easier listening now.

Admittedly, the China headphone are cheaply made, and definitely not the 
most comfortable but the audio is what I wanted.  Some day I will 
stumble onto a decent pair of ear pads to improve the comfort.

So, cheep is better, and learning something from the advice is even more 
better.

Yes, the headphones came warped just as you all said.  No paper work or 
instructions, and many layers of tape that defied destruction by our 
Post Office.

Thanks for all the help.
