Nothing to do with headphones...but, if anyone is looking for a quality boom box type of player, the B & W Zeppelin and Zeppelin Mini seem to have been upgraded, the older models are being sold on eBay, probably wind up on other discount sites, about $5-600 list, selling on eBay about 1/2 price or so. Got mine used for $149 on eBay (said it was a demo in a furniture showroom, not used, came looking fine), this thing really sounds good for a unit about 6.5 inches tall, 12.5 inches wide...it does really feel heavy, makes you feel like there's serious gear in there, and for a little box, this thing sounds great! No, it won't replace your tower speakers, high end amp, etc, but if you need a little box (it's basically an iPod unit, doesn't have radio or other source, but will charge iPod/iphone (pre iPhone 5 older style connector), can use line in for other players, usb in for computer playing or streaming. I have had a number of Cambridge Audio and other well regarded boxes like this, the sound on this, on early litening (came today), just kills the others I've heard, and it takes up little space (I mentioned to my wife that hearing how good this little guy is, I'm sorry I didn't go for the bigger Zeppelin, to which she replied, thank goodness you didn't get anything larger than this, it's a really good size! Some people have there priorities messed up, but you could be in a situation that size makes a difference, and the larger Zep is more expensive, natch). Just a heads up...
