[Elecraft] Head Phones

[Walter Underwood]

The Sony is fine for listening to music, so it should be fine for speech or CW. I tried my Yamaha CM500s for music after my Grado SR-60 headphones finally died, and the Yamaha phones were unlistenable. I went back to Apple ear buds until I got new Grados. OK for speech, but not good enough for music.

The Sony MDR-V6 has fairly flat response, the MDR-7506 has an upper midrange (presence) boost. Get the one that is on sale.
