Second vote for RATphones. I really like them. Also like my Grey Ghosts.

Well I think I have narrowed it down to 2 types:
Killer B Optima
RatPhone

This what I have now Calrad 15-135 and they are VERY uncomfortable for my ears at least.

Opinions welcome...

something to remember
keep them properly adjusted or they will sag on your head(forward/backward) and your ears will hurt ;)

Are you talking about headphones in general or this particular brand of headphone?

thanks

I've used many different ones and now favor Grey Ghost and Black Widows. That is where a dealer can help as you can try them on first.

I have the Hornet Optima also. They were $76 also I believe. They have a money back guarantee and the company is great to deal with. I've sent mine back to be modded for use with a Nautilus detector and John at B&B is great also. I got them from Brian @Southern Treasures he's excellent to deal with.
The earcups are plenty big, that was one of my complaints in the past.
