Not sure how much you want to spend on headphones, but the Sennheiser px100
are terrific for about $$50 locally, and less on the net. They fold up kind
of like a pair of glasses and sound really good. They are what is known as
an open air design, so they just rest on your ears, not surround them, so
you can easily hear what is going on around you. These, along with the Koss
PortaPro'ss are my favorite set of head phones in the under $100 category.
Actually, I like the px100's a little more than the PortaPro because they
sound more natural to me. The PortaPro's can sometimes over-emphasize the
bass.

shannon, oh, yeah, I lvoe the Book Port. I like the ear buds for the same
reasons you do but my ears hurt after a bit and they don't stay in my ears
well. I'm concerned that A PH private phones althugh wonderful could block
out more sound than I'd like. I might give them a try, though.

Margo welcome. I do hope you like your Book Port as much as I like mine. I
am glad you asked this question about the headphones since I too have been
wondering about this. I like the ear buds because I can hear what's going
on around me--I have two young children, but they also allow me to hear the
book quite clearly as well. I do find however, after a lot of reading my
ears do tend to get sore from them.

Hi. listers. I ordered the TDK I'maspeaker stereo model--the one that can
hold 24 CD's. cost me $16 plus $5.95 shiping and I think $1.88 tax. Am
looking forward to that.
Now, I want to know what earphones people are using. I appreciate the
printing House for sending the earbuds but to me there not quite as
comfortable as I'd like so am wondering what you all are using if you're not
using a speaker or the earbuds.
Thanks.
