Headphones Question

[jasper12]

Hi everyone
What kind of headphones do you use with you're MD.What should I look for in a decent set?Is it possible to get a good pair for 50 or 60 Bucks.Thanks for any input you input.I have an ace 250...pat

To be honest, I haven't noticed any need to have anything other than just the small, cheap headphones with the Ace. In fact the sounds are so distinct that about the only thing I could think of is if someone may notice some "scratch" or glitch in the trash sounds that I haven't noticed. Plus, I can wear the small pads NEXT to my ears and still hear the sounds distinctly PLUS any unwelcome visitors or predators.

You can spend a fortune on headphones if you so choose but I use cheapies. I had some costly ones and they went tits up so I just use the cheap ones and they work just fine. All you're doing is listening for a beep not listening to the Boston Symphony.

try the garretts reasonably inexpensive and they work great.plus they will keep your ears warm this winter.and they have volume control

Makes my ears hurt where they press on the outer lobe.

... remind me of me.
I dont hear to many people say "tits up," since I left the Navy. But I like it.

As for headphones. I find I gravitate more to the moderately price digiphones, these days.

I especially like the ones made for digital audio players, those having a neck band. They fit in your ear, dont completely obliterate outside noise yet have excellent audio response. I can wear a stocking cap or two over them and go out in the cold.
Besides, they don't make you look like some nerdy geezer as the more conventional earcup phones do.

I get the ones tha fold and stow easily. They normally cost about $20.

....you buy a set with volume control otherwise that loud Ace 250 will blow your eardrums out. I am still not a fan of headphhones but I do use them when detecting close to a busy road or near construction or in the cold to keep my ears warm.

Well, at least one other thing that we're sure of.....

Go to Radio Shack - get the stereo 1/4 to 1/8 stereo adapter. Then go to Wally World - they have a cheap Koss w/volume control for $4.95 - works good.
Also have a $25 MD headphones w/volume for cooler weather.

 

[Uncle Willy]

BINGO!
