DXing Time V Results
This is more of a "thrown it out to the universe type question.
What is the "right" amount of time to spend DXing against the results you get? This plays in to the law of "Diminishing Returns". You

Re: Headphones?
I bought several pairs of those Sony headphones up on sale at Walgreen's or CVS several years ago on a trip. I agree that they sound decent for the price. They fold up, which is good for traveling

Dear John, for ultralight without reading your recommendation this would have been also my choice for a small light weight cheap on-ear headphone, surely I will try one of those for my Tecsuns, Degen,

Re: Headphones?
I have several pairs of a great set of Sony over the ear headphones that are good quality. Highly recommended, very comfortable to wear and light to travel around with.
They are Sony ZX Series
