[CW] Recommendations for Head Phones

[Richard Knoppow]

    I can't recommend a particular phone but I think any modern 
"hi-fi" phone is better than the classical magnetic phones. 
Certainly for speech but I think also for CW.
    I think comfort is probably as important as sound. The old 
magnetic phones do act as filters but are fixed frequency (around 
1Khz) and tend to ring.
    I sort of collect headphones, at least old ones. Again, 
modern moving coil phones will blow away the old fashioned kind.
