[Elecraft] Headphones

[rich hurd WC3T]

The Sony MDR-V6's - the digital version of the 7506 - can be seen in movies
quite a bit...   "Whistler"  (David Strathairn) wears them in the movie
"Sneakers" and "Seaman Jones" (Courtney Vance) wears them in "The Hunt for
Red October."    I've also seen the musicians in Postmodern Jukebox wearing
them in some of the YT videos.   :)
