The BEST headphones I've ever used are FOSTEX. I use the Model T-20 and
plug them in the speaker jack of my TS-950.  I can wear them 48-hours
without ANY discomfort.  Cost about 80 bucks at audio stores.  I epoxy a
HEIL boom mike to the side of the ear piece, with HC-4 cartridge,
naturally.  Good luck.
