If you do not need a microphone, the Sony MDR-7506 that K9YC has mentioned
numerous times on this list is just awesome. These are high quality
headphones that sound great and are super comfortable. I use mine for all CW
and RTTY contests plus occasionally for other things around the house.

I bought the Yamaha phones a couple of years ago. They were fine for a while
but the microphone was very loose and kept getting in the way and then the
foam earpiece covering all fell apart. So, when I thought about it, it
occurred to me that the younger generation that does a lot of gaming for
hours on end must need something that worked well and are comfortable for
long periods. I did a little research and then bought a "Pro Gamer" headset
HyperX Cloud. Not as cheap as the Yamaha but not as pricey as Heil. (I've
had Heil headsets over the years and never been really happy with them).
The real clincher was that the HyperX has a detachable microphone so now I
have something to stir my tea with. (The only use I have for it).
I am very pleased, they seem to perform well with the K3 and I find them
durable and comfortable. But, as someone else said, every person is
different.
