Re: The Best $150 Over-Ear Headphones | The Wirecutter
I use bensbargains.com for my headphones. I have been able to buy $200 studio headphones for $20 and I am currently using $300 noise cancelling headphones bought for $30 when I go to work on the subway. they work so well that a subway train can enter and leave the station without me needing to stop a podcast or a talking book on my victor Reader Stream. High quality tech can be infinitely affordable if someone knows where to look and is patient.

I very much dislike coiled cords. I have a set of earphones with one and would cheerfully toss the phones if I could find something with a straight cord good enough to replace them. - Original Message - From: "JOHN RIEHL" <realma...@verizon.net> To: "'PC Audio Discussion List'" <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> Sent: Friday, September 16, 2016 9:57 PM Subject: RE: The Best $150 Over-Ear Headphones | The Wirecutter I have been buying and using the MDR-7506 headphones for years; they are a fine choice.

I have been buying and using the MDR-7506 headphones for years; they are a fine choice. The ear cups on the older models did not hold up well but that's not true of the newer versions. One good thing about the sony MDR-7506 headphones is that they have a heavy-duty cord (it's one of those spiral cords); the drawback is that the cord is somewhat heavy and makes the headphones feel a bit heavier. Also, they can get uncomfortable after 5-6 hours of continuous use. But I agree with the model; they are a really good headphone choice for a very reasonable price.
