Jim Rillie Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 Hi all, Gearing up for my next project, and I find I am short a few headsets for the comtek 216s. Single ended cable is best, and should be relatively cheap, so I can get a few spares. Comtek phones are great but delicate. The sony mdr10s? aren't made anymore, but were very durable. Sennheisers too bassy. Anything new that meets our needs well? Best regards, Jim Rillie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RPSharman Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 People seem to like these on my last couple of shows. Sony MDR-G45LP Street Style Neckband Headphones (Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0015AFVBC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_aPfGxbZ2D0J12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbsixty Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 I just got a few Beyerdynamic DT 2 for my new Sennheiser IFB Kit. Really like them. They are cheap, lightweight, sound quite good and have a single-ended cable, which is a bit long though. I`ve been using them for about two years now, as they always came with a rental IFB Kit. Never got any complaints from clients or directors. Directors use to take Sennheiser HD-25 though, if I let them choose, but I guess that's because they look more professional.

Jim Rillie Posted July 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Thanks for all the suggestions. The Sony MDR-G45LPs seem to be the easiest to access, as suggested by RPSharman. I already have a few of these, and they do survive client abuse fairly well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProSound Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Hamilton Buhl are great. they are very durable 10 pairs on Amazon for $50.00 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CEGSZ6Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Constantin Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Whatever you do, do not buy Beyerdynamic DTX 350m. I thought these were great (they sound ok), not too cheap, but not too expensive, either. And they fold so storage is easier. So I bought 6 of them. 4 broke during the first three days of usage (literally broke in half), one other is actually still holding up somehow and number six I haven't unpacked...
