I hear great things about the Vance headphones. A friend of mine has them and he really likes them. When I got my Deus last Oct, I had a hard time dropping another $150 on new headphones too. So I got the $20 WS4 adapter plate and made a housing for it.
I did a post on how I made it here

I then cut the cord on some Whites headphones I had and put a 1/8" adapter on it. I can also use my Grey Ghost headphones with a 1/8-1/4 adapter... but I prefer the Whites. I have 100's of hours on them and I love the setup. When Its time for some new headphones, maybe I'll spring for the Vance... but I really like being able to velcro the puck on the side of any set of headphones I want.
I emailed XP and told them they should make something like the adapter housing I made. They actually emailed back. Hopefully they do make it... I thought about getting the wrist band holder and cutting the straps off and putting velcro on the back of it, but it looked much more bulky. We really just need a refined case that the ws4 adapter plate will sit in.

This was just my solution so I didnt have to spend more money last fall. Didn't mean to steer your post off laidback4sho, I just saw people discussing their headphone options.
