[Elecraft] Need Headphone recommendations for K3

[Tim]

Hi,

I have both the MDR-7506 headphones and the SB-40 with boom mic.
I found the SB-40 easier to listen to than my 7506 which have too much hf.
My K3 s/n 1245 does not have the audio mod done, so that is part of the 
problem.
The 7506 sound very good on my K2 though, must be the analogue circuitry.
