At Radio Shack, they have this pait of phones that are 99.99 that are made out
of titanium. They fit super and definitely 'felt' expensive. Anyone with any
experience with these. Would they be good for DXing?

I have the Optimus Pro40's and have worn out the inside foam part so I have
black electrical tape nicely encircled into it. But I definitely need some
news phones, and I looked at the others and they were junk except this one
pair.

Figures it's made out of titanium and cost $99.99
Is there something I should look at in the specs to bring back to the group?

Everything at Radio Shack goes on sale eventually. Count on those
headphones to be marked down to $59.99 or $69.99 in a few weeks or
months.

If you were building a racing bike or a jet fighter titanium might
mean something. In this context it is equivalent to zirconium.

If titanium refers to the headphone frame itself, you're right -
it's meaningless. But I *think* it refers to the speaker diaphragms, or
the coating on them - a lot of manufacturers are going to that.

I have a set of RS titanium phones and they are great for music.

For SWL, get the $19.95 Koss - you won't notice the difference.

Meaningless fad for earphones. If the extra strength of titanium were
needed the earphones would be so loud as to deafen the listener.

I have a pair of PRO-25 titanium headphones that are quite nice and
they cost less than $40 new (I got mine used for $5 at a thrift store)

The plastic (mylar?) diaphrams of each headphone (speaker) are coated
with a thin layer of titanium. The value of this feature is quesionable.
The word 'titanium' is a big selling point these days so that's the main
reason they do it. Look in the spec's for frequency range and distortion
levels.
