Okay,another headphone thought.....The Radio Shack Titanium headphones are
comfortable and LOUD. They work great with my old ears and Omni 6+.

Orion owners want stereo headphones.... what to

threads on this subject before and I don't want to

I have literally drawers full of headphones as I am
always seeking
headphones that are comfortable and effective. From
$20 to $200, ....
Heil, Kenwood, Yaesu, Sony, Panasonic, JRC, .... and
more. Recognizing
that headphones are a personal choice (as are most
transducers) I can
only indicate this option for those who are looking
for a very
affordable, easily obtainable, light-weight
headphones designed
specifically for communication frequencies. And
although they are sold
as mono headphones with an 1/8 inch plug and a 1/4
adapter, there is a
separate coaxial wire from each headphone that comes
down independently
and joined together for mono reception in the plug
itself. It is a very
easy job to cut off that plug and solder the two
coax audio lines to the
appropriate stereo plug. Combine the shields to the
barrel, one hot to
the sleeve and the second hot to the tip. That is
all there is to it.

Product: 20-210B, Lightweight Mono Headphones
Cost: $16.95 plus new stereo plug
Available: All radio shack stores and radioshack.com
From my drawers of headphones there are only two
that I continue to
use... my trusty JRC ST-3 and these Radio Shack
Communication headphones.
Hope this is of interest and value.
