I like my Able Planet headphones, somewhat because they have active and passive noise-reduction system (I assume there's less noise at your library than a plane, though perhaps not by much sometimes), but mostly because they have a detachable cord so when (not if) they break, the cord can be replaced cheaply.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
