Chris Interesting - I could still listen to my pair of stereo Sennheiser HD250 headphones right up until the evening before I had my cochlear implant. And this was without hearing aids. Of course I had to crank them up something terrible but they could take it. I still have my pair of hd250s and they are still in working order. I doubt whether you would find many headphones that could have endured the pounding I gave them.
And I listened to things like choir and organ music on them! -----Original Message----- From: Pc-audio [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Chris H Sent: 03 February 2014 09:55 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: Electro static headphones. Hi cheers, I am fussy with headphones due to my hard of hearing and personal preferences. I like my headphones to be on the ear and to be earcups, can't remember the technical name something like circumoral but hope you get the idea.
