Looking for a set of quality headphones, but don't want to break ther bank? Try checking out your local anitique shops. Most (especially the ones with inside vendor booths) will have a set or two of vintage headphones from the 70's and they work well with your detector. Back in the day when things were made to last the quality of headphones was much better than today believe it or not. In the era of the HI-FI, headphones were crucial and they were buily like a tank. I just purchased a set of Realistic brand headphones from the 70's for $15 and they are better than my other detector headphones not to mention the investment risk is low. Take a look next time you happen in one of these shops. At a minimum a great spare to have.
