Subject: [access-uk] Replacement headphones

Carol, for completeness, and as Sennheiser has been mentioned, TapeSense list 
two models:

Sennheiser MX500
Superb in-ear "Walkman-Style" stereo headphones
£14.99 - normally retail at £19.95

Sennheiser PX100
The PX100's are current What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision Award-winners.
A compact, attractive, open-backed design, they fold away into a neat carry 
case for easy storage.
£19.95 - normally retail at £29.95

I have this latter pair myself, and think they're superb.

With best wishes,

Keith
