These are not a radio shack brand, they're just bought there. I do have a
cheaper set or radio shack ones for every day use and though they're usable,
they're not recommended.
One other thing I forgot to mention about the pair I do like, for some
reason they have a mute button. Yes, it kind of defeats the purpose of
wearing sound-reducing headphones, but heck, what ever works.
I can't find them at the moment to get the model number, but I thought maybe
that would be one more thing to distinguish the ones I'm referring to.

love them. They are expensive but on airplanes or buses they work wonders
at eliminating the noise. I tried radio shack as well and while they did
work they did not compare with Bose. If it is worthwhile to you to get rid
of the traveling noise they are the best. Jeff
