[size=small]The Garrett type are generic and go for about 10-15$. About a gazillion makers make them - for everybody. The wire bails where they enter the ear cuffs need reinforcing, so I just loop a zip-tie around them there and cinch 'er up.
Koss makes a nice set of phones similar to those Jolly Rogers. I cant recall the number anymore (XX-30, or something like that), but youll know them because they have a coiled cord, which is a real boon if you are using corded phones.
I also like the in the ear lightweight digiphones. But, you have to route the cord over your torso to keep it from dangling on front of you. However they are worth it under a nice wooly or two in the cold and they are SUPER in the heat of summer. The ones I use fold, too.
If you want wireless, ask John for the latest.
Whatever you get, ensure they are stereo. A mono detector wont matter, but a stereo one through mono phones will drive you batty.
I often take mine apart, too, and add some strain relief at the cable entry and around the plug itself. These points take a lot of pulling and twisting.
Finally, long term comfort, and durability are key. All audio phones reproduce sound within the spectrum you can hear, so fidelity is actually down the list of attributes. Comfy and tough will win the day.[/size]
