Sturdy high sound quality neckband headphones

[marijn]

Hi,

I'm looking for headphones which meet these criteria:

- behind the neck. i'm spastic and any other model won't work because i can't get them in my ears ;)

- good sound quality

- durable. i've gone through 5 senn's pmx-60's in a year, their cable is too weak. sony g52-somethings seem to last longer but their sound is not that good.


I do not care about price or sound leakage. After browsing a bit I found that koss has good sounding ones, but can anyone tell me if they are durable? I put a lot of stress on the cable.

Thanks

Hi.. will clip on work for u?

nah, not really. can't get those on either. well, i can, but it takes me 5 minutes and i'll rip them out again within the next 3 minutes, which makes the whole exercise kinda pointless ;)

That's pretty much the only decent option in that style.

The Aiwa HP-SW10 Stereo Clip-on Headphone (http://www.warehouse123.com/ProductInfo.php?pid=AIWHPSW10-BLK) are not bad at all!

Hi to all. I'm still a little new to this forum. I was still learning the ropes when I had to leave on a emergency for a week. So I hope I'm in the right forum. First hope all had a good weekend I also am looking for a headset. A Wireless headset that is light, portable over the head, and full ear, not bud. Possibly foldable, easy set-up, as few parts as posibble. I guess I'm saying very compact.. I purchased the Logitech wireless headset made for the ipod. They cost $150.00 and I think I can get more bang for my buck. The base is not great. I never claimed I had an ear for music, but I like the bass. Volume range is not great either. And I walked into another room leaving the ipod in original room. It is still 1 big room. But after I got into the room the music started to cut out a little here and there. It's not size ajustable either. Kind of tight and heavy on the head. The headset goes on the back of the head, I like over the head style. It's kind of bulky. I think if I wore them for any extended time they would be very uncomfortable. Please help. Thanks in advance for all that reply.
