[Elecraft] K2 Headphone Recommendations

[Tony Martin W4FOA]

Jerry,
I was at our local Big Lots and while looking around I noted they had a new 
series of headphones on display....unable to pass up a perceived bargain, I 
bought two pairs..one
for my QRP station and one for my main station....they are simply amazing. 
They are COBY CV-320 Digital Stereo Headphones with dual volume 
controls.......and oh yes, they cost $5.99 each.
