Thank you Kevin. This exactly what I have been doing but always felt a bit =
daft when people speak of expensive headphones for use in the field. For me=
being in touch with my surroundings and getting in the right place is the =
most critical thing. I know my gear gets good results if the sound level is=
right and I can crudely monitor what is happening. My Sony MDR's also go u=
nder my hat which helps keep them in my ears when I need them there and clo=
se to my ears when I don't, with no tangled cords. The mechanical construct=
ion is just right (and the price even better!). At home editing is a comple=
tely different matter of course, that's where my studio pair stay.
