    2x NEW VM Audio SRHP15 Stereo MP3/iPhone iPod Over the Ear DJ Headphones - Green
    Sold by VMInnovations @ 33 OHMS. I ordered two because my grandson needed a pair also and they are cheap. They will be here sometime this week . I'll post my opinion after I get a chance to try them out.

    Well those headphones were heavy , the padding was hard and the sound was not good for ham radio . Now I have a set of Rosewell RHTH-11004 , $21.78 . They are light , soft pads , sound very good. They have a 3.5 mm plug on each end so the cord is replaceable . They are listed as 20 Hz to 20 KHz. I really like them ! They were listed on Amazon.

    Depends on how big your ears are.

    Some rigs allow you to do interesting things in stereo.
    My Flex 3000 in stereo spreads the panapter.

    Others, as mentioned, can run the second RX in different ears.

    Communications headphones are nice, as they stick to voice frequencies.
    Are outboard equalizers still available?

    Yes. There are many headphone amp+eq boxes out there. From $30 to $3K+

    Depends on how much other "stuff" you want to do. If you have a bunch of inputs (or radios), you might want to look into a little outboard mixer. Most of the desktop mixers (Behringer, although I shudder at their build quality, Alesis, Rane, Mackie, Yamaha, etc.) have basic parametric equalization and a headphone out built right in. Commercial headphone amps are usually built to run a half dozen or more really-hard-to-drive cans, like you'd find in a studio setting. Audiophool headphone amps are built to suck the money right out of you like a bad date.

    Parametric EQing actually takes a little more finagling to set up properly if you're using it for the intended purpose in getting a desired frequency response, but if all you're looking for is "I don't want the hissing to kill my ears", it'll work...
