[IMHO the _worst_ headphones are the WWII-era military DLR/DHR types with ebonite ear-caps and a crazily-strong steel-wire spring to keep the ear-caps clamped hard against your lug'oles. After wearing them for half an hour your ears are really paindul; how intercept-operators managed to put up with having to wear them for hours at a time, day-in day-out, totally escapes me]
Imagine using them on a DAB radio tuned to an 64Kbps broadcast.
