I own a really old pair of MDR-7506's that must be at least 10 years old now.
I use them for DJ'n and love them but I wouldn't want to use them for my KX1. They probably would draw too much power. I bought recently a pair of Bose headphones for my iPod because I was working in a data center and the fan noise is REALLY loud. At first I was looking for noise canceling headphones but I didn't like any of them I tried and I got a pair of Bose over ear headphones like these: http://www.bose.com/controller?event=VIEW_PRODUCT_PAGE_EVENT&product=triport_ae_headphones_index I HIGHLY recommend them. They are very lightweight, and sound awesome. They also almost seal around your ears making them pretty good in noisy areas. They aren't the cheapest thing in the world, but I would take them over lots of other headphones I have used, including AKG sealed studio headphones, and the only other style I've used that I liked better were a friends pair of Sony ear buds but they costed like $400. -Chris --- Tom McCulloch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Here is a review of the MDR-NC50 -- They say its > pretty good but apparently > needs some oomph to drive them and not great for MP3 > players which don't > have a lot of output: > > http://reviews.cnet.com/headphones-headsets/sony-mdr-nc50/4505-6468_7-31294268.html > > And more of the same comments at: > > http://review.zdnet.com/headphones-headsets/sony-mdr-nc50/4505-6468_16-31294268.html > > > I'd love a nice pair of noise canceling headphones > that can be used on my K2 > and MP3 player -- anyone have any ideas. > Tom > WB2QDG > k2 1103 > MP3 - Creative > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "john shadle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <elecraft@mailman.qth.net> > Sent: Tuesday, May 29, 2007 4:31 PM > Subject: [Elecraft] Sony MDR series headphones for > KX1 > > > > Saw a mention on this list as well as in the > manual about these > > headphones.
