Headphones Part 2

OK ... I found my headphones, so what do you think?

Sony Digital Reference, Dynamic Stereo Headphones MDR-CD 160.

I've had several years, and I think I may have purchased at Fry's.
 
My Sony MDR-7506 are still missing from 6 years ago.

May whoever stole them burn in hell forever.<P ID="signature">______________

My new favorite is the Fostex T50RP. <P ID="signature">______________

Me, too. No matter what you do to them ( or when), $5.00 bucks gets you a brand new pair. What a deal! <P ID="signature">______________

i've been using them a lot longer than they had the lifetime warranty (as i know you have, too)... of course we still got them rebuilt, just not under warrenty.

remember sending them to "acoustech" on port washington av in milwaukee? i can't remember the lady's name that we'd talk to... but i do know once i called and they told me she'd passed away several years earlier. the guy seemed suprised i had asked for her. marie something, maybe. i never was lucky enough to get a pair rebuilt heavy-duty, but a friend had a pair that acoustech had rebuilt for him with heavy-duty top cord and metal plug.

LOL We have one of our towers that would practically fall on the Koss building on Pt Washington Road. I really need to go there and visit their outlet store.. The lifetime warranty is certainly nice!

I got a pair of Pro 4/AA's there back in 1992. Still going strong! I also have a pair of the Radio Shack clones, and they're doing very well too...<P ID="signature">______________

And now, from Antique Theater. . .how about those old Murdock Clevite Brush headphones ? You know, the kind you see in vintage radio pictures. . .those were the headphones of choice when I worked at WLNG, Sag Harbor thirty years ago. I got another pair when I went to Riverhead in 1979. . .great headphones. . .

I tend to stick with Sony MDR-V6/MDR-7506 (same thing) or AKG K240 Studio's. I had a pair of koss 4/99's years and years ago. I remember them as being uncomfortable. The headband would snag your hair and the earpads were really sweatty. Not to mention they sounded like crap. They were pretty damn durable though, I'll give you that. Each to their own I suppose.
