i hunt quite a bit and i sure seem to be going thru a lot of headphones.
does anybody know of a brand that is super rugged ?
here is a want list.
tight enuf to stay on when looking down when head is sweaty.
earcup large enuf not to pinch
sound in both ears without needing any switches or wheels
HEAVILY REINFORCED at cord ends
to avoid problems i have been having.
earcups seperate from headband poor quality hangers.
black plastic joiner that houses the foam portion of the earcup constantly coming loose from plastic speaker body portion.
poor sound.
loose part inside either or both housings rattles
intermittency in mono/stereo or volume switch. [not having switch eliminates]
intermittency in cord at plug end or where wires enter phones.
FINALLY SHOULD BE RUGGED ENUF TO BE LEFT PLUGGED IN TO DETECTOR. AND WITHSTAND BANGING AROUND WITH ALL THE OTHER ASSORTED JUNK I HAVE IN MY CAR.
are higher priced really worth the money?
i care very little about tone quality
i want bullet proof.
