Hi Chris!
On the basis of your recommendation I have ordered a pair of the Sony MDR-W=
O8L's from Amazon, for the silly price they're selling them for. Up until n=
ow I've used my Sennheiser HD 280 Pro's, and although they're superb in the=
studio, they're slightly cumbersome in the field.
Hoping you're as well as you appear to be
