We know what we live, and the fun is in sharing it to raise the ease of other experiences or environments. I actually have a dedicated pair of shooting cans (headphones) for the router. They sit on it when I'm not using it. I seem to have recently lost them, which is why they weren't with the router this last time. cheap, flat non padded headband, $11 and worth it and more. I remember the first time I wanted to do a speaker box with the router. No way, all I could hear was high pitched "bang bang bang"so I grabbed the cans out of the shooting gear. smiles and many speakers later I wonder where they are. They fold down to the size of a large orange. Worth it if you want to be doing much hearing later; or soon after.
