[Elecraft] Best earbuds for KX1?

[Walter Underwood]

There are earbuds that seal into the ear canal. They are high fidelity, with lots of highs and bass. The Grado iGi sells for about $89. I am very fond of my big, on-ear Grado headphones. When my old ones died after 15 years, I upgraded to more expensive Grado phones.

Or you can get some ear protectors at the hardware store and put them on over your earbuds. Those are around $20.
