I use a pair of Labtec LT-820 phones. They seem a good trade-off between
light weight and decent pads for shutting out extraneous sounds. I don't
have a noisy shack, so I do not need the "cover the ear" type of phones that
can shut out the screams of kids and other high-intensity local QRM. The
LT-820's have soft cushions that fit on the ears, rather than over them.
Like many of the modern phones sold for audio and computer use, they have an
impedance in the 30-ohm range, which is ideal for the K2.
