Hi,
I think the difference in the audio response (such as the "click clack") may
be attributable to differences in sensitivity and impedance.
At work I used to use some YH-1 Yamaha headphones but switched to a
Sennheiser HD 280 when they reconfigured our office since the HD 280 have much
better external sound attenutation.
I used to plug my headphones directly into the headphone output on the front
of my desktop computer. With the HD 280 I can hear a very faint hum (kind of
like a 60hz hum but at a much higher audio frequency) but only when I move the
mouse cursor. With the Yamaha headphones the hum is inaudible. I've had some of
my coworkers listen and they can also hear the difference...
I'd compare the impedance and sensitivity figures if you can find them...
I've used the HD-280 with my Orion I and don't have an issue with the "click
clack" noise.

I just discovered something that might be of general interest. Using
theSennheiser HD-202 phones the "click clack" of CW keying when sending
isannoying, but with the Radio Shack Titanium Phones, it is not
audible...Hmmm... So what is the difference?RonKA7U -----Original

PMTo: TenTecReflectorSubject: Sennheiser HD 202 w/ handi cable clip Having
faithfully read the numerous posts on head phones a while back onthis
reflector, I decided to take a chance on the Sennheiser HD-202 headphones.
Prior to these phones I have
been using the Radio Shack Titaniumstereo headphones. So here is my 2
cents... The HD-202 phones seem to have a bit more "punch" especially at the
lowfrequencies and therefore make cw easier to "hear". they seem to block
outroom noise to a greater level then the Titanium phones. The HD-202
phonesare much warmer to wear and this becomes uncomfortable in short order
attemperatures above 69 degrees F., whereas the Titanium phones are cool
andlight to wear. So in conclusion, I recommend the Sennheiser HD 202 phones
with the hadicable clip, for serious attentive listening, and Radio Shack
Titanium phonesfor extended listening under less stressful conditions. Maybe a
pair of Sony ear buds would be cool and effective, once I got overhaving my
ears filled.RonKA7U
