headphones

[Aussie Okie]

I have a set of headphones that I got with my first MD a BH Tracker IV but they make my ears (tops) very sore after a hour or so.
I need help on choosing a decent pair:
reasonable price
COMFORTABLE
volume control
won't slide off my head


Any help would be appreciated.

Second vote for RATphones. I really like them. Also like my Grey Ghosts.

no volume control
as in the ohms of the ear peices (to low something like 9 ) werent compatablewith my machines ohm requirements(higher)
the signal was to weak sounded tinny like a 2 tin cans string
just wondering if you got the package what to ohms are
mine is like 277 ohms of inpedence

I had to put tape over the ear pieces of mine to reduce the volume. OOOOuch!! It worked really well. Now my ears don't bleed when I get a target. hehehehehe

thanks...are they the Killer B Optima for $76?
Most important are they comfortable....are the ear cups big enough?

thanks

 

[Aussie Okie]

Well I think I have narrowed it down to 2 types:
Killer B Optima
RatPhone

This what I have now Calrad 15-135 and they are VERY uncomfortable for my ears at least.

Opinions welcome...

something to remember
keep them properly adjusted or they will sag on your head(forward/backward) and your ears will hurt

Are you talking about headphones in general or this particular brand of headphone?

thanks

I've used many different ones and now favor Grey Ghost and Black Widows. That is where a dealer can help as you can try them on first.

I have the Hornet Optima also. They were $76 also I believe. They have a money back guarantee and the company is great to deal with. I've sent mine back to be modded for use with a Nautilus detector and John at B&B is great also. I got them from Brian @Southern Treasures he's excellent to deal with.
The earcups are plenty big, that was one of my complaints in the past.
