Getting a Good Headphone

[fahrenheit]

I've read it over and over. You have got to have a good quality volume control headphone...good advice.

For budgeting purpose. Can I find any good headphone from Walmart, Target, or Fred Meyer and use it on my Tesoro metal detector?

I guess the 'standard is 1/4 inches' headphone.

Any suggestions where and how much. $20

Not Walley-World unless u get an adapter from 1/8 to 1/4. Expect to pay almost twice that for a good set w/separate vol. control and stereo/mono switch. You might check Kellyco.

I have to agree with Stoney, but for other reasons. I once forgot my headphones and rather then travel 25 Mile home I traveld 10 to wallmart. I bought a pair of their KOSS headphones. I hated them. no volume controls, bad tonal distinction . very poor .

Call any Tersoro dealer...about $25 bucks delivered. I have $100 head phones and $15 head phones....can't tell the difference between 'em as far as sound quality. The cheaper ones do cover more of my ears and are heavier. This causes some "slippage" when it gets sweaty outside so I have to wear them a bit tighter but no big deal at all.

Someone a few days ago stated Ohm's were important and you need to be at least in the 60 to 65 range. One of the gold posts has a very in depth scientific / mathematic description of head phone selection , but it's way over my cut metal , bend metal weld metal head.

For one, lightweight during summer unless you like ear sweat. Coiled cord is pretty much a must. One good thing about headphones is if kids bother you in a park, just point to headphones and say "Sorry- can't hear you,"
