Rick, I'll save this message and look around on the Net. Wonder if J and R
Music would have them. I like their prices on things quite often. Thanks for
the info.

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.
