Having been a broadcast Air Personality for 37 of the past 40 years, which
means I used headphones professionally every day, I can tell you without
reservation that the Sony 7506's are the best I have ever used. They're not
cheap, and they do suffer from the wires between the phones eventually
fatiguing under the stress of daily commercial use, but they're comfortable,
sound excellent, have a solid molded connector that practically never fails,
and the coiled-cord is a must in the studio where cords often get wrecked
under the wheels of the personality's chair.
I checked the BSW catalog, and they are indeed 24 Ohms, which should be
perfect for the Orions.
