[Premium-Rx] Headphones

[Jerry Kincade]

Been using a pair of the Bose TriPort headphones for about a year now in my
radio shack, and don't think I'd trade them for anything else I've seen.
They seemed a bit pricey to me, but they have turned out to be worth every
penny of the $140 or so they cost. They are, of course, "full fidelity"
phones. I don't believe the last item in the audio chain would be a good
place to begin filtering noise. They also are very nice (and comfortable)
for long sessions of CW copy.
