has anyone checked out a set of enclosed headphones called Vivanco SR
250?  they're really cheap but the sound is superb.  what's also nice is
that they don't need much to drive them, you can get excellent (and
loud) sounds from a walkman/discman.  I was looking for a set of
seinheisser's which could be driven from a discman, but to my dismay I
could barely hear anything out of them at full volume :-(
