This may be a very uninteresting topic for most of you, but I was wondering if anyone knows of a good open headphone or ear bud system for listening to TV.  My dad is almost 80, and he has lost a lot of response in the upper mid-range and highs and also he has to play at a loud volume to hear...

Man NY is brutal on that. In Dallas, Texas (where I lived for almost 3 decades) you just pay a ticket lawyer $40 to defend it. Then, about a year later the lawyer tells you that you must pay courts costs and you get probation for one to six months and that is the end of it.

I'm 52, so I'm old enough to remember that the best pair of headphones I ever owned in my life were Koss Phase II that came out in 1974. I bought them at Swallens in Cincinnati for $50 which was some serious cash back then. I remember listening to We Don't Get Fooled Again using the headhpones...

Alright a couple of you guys got it--good job. There isn't an exact answer, but it has to be a close approximation of this. Here is the side view:
