[Elecraft] Need Headphone recommendations for K3

I purchased a pair of KOSS SB-40's. A local DX'er and K3'er, K9GS 
recommended these. He brought them over at one of our meetings and I gave 
them a whirl and liked them so I bought my own. I personally like them as my 
hearing is not the best and the boom mic gets good reports as I work mostly 
DX. And they have a Lifetime Warranty!
I give them a look...
