Re: [IRCA] Headphones for Drake R8
Sorry for the late reply on this Stan; been away for a few days.
As you know, the R8 has a mono headphone jack but that was never an
issue as there are inexpensive adaptors for 1/4" phone to 3.5mm
stereo jacks. So, that considerably widens the potential range of
headphones to choose from.
Over the years, the headphone question pops up on various lists, and
inevitably the answers come back, "I use XYZ type, and I like them"
and there seem to be a lot of different models named. It hasn't
happened this time. Maybe everyone is at the beach.
So, I'll start the ball rolling: JVC
HA-RX500 http://av.jvc.com/product.jsp?modelId=MODL028042&;,
recommended by someone on the Ultralight list when they went through
their "headphone question" period.
$30 or so, sound fine with the R8 and others....but I'm no audiophile
DXer. To be honest, if they're comfortable and don't fall apart
(unlike the more expensive Sennheisers I had before this), they'll do
for me, and these have been doing fine.
best wishes,
Nick

As the new DX season gets underway I'd like to get a decent pair of
headphones for my Drake R8. I've used cheap iPod type phones up
until now & I'm thinking some good ones might provide better clarity
for my aging ears.
I'd also prefer not to spend more than $100 for them if something
decent is available in this price range. What I'm looking for is the
ability to hear DX in the noise as clearly as possible rather than
good music frequency response. If both are possible with the same
headphones at low cost, I'd be thrilled, but I'd imagine that's like
expecting to win the lottery!
Any suggestions anyone would have would be greatly appreciated!
