Kristen,

I haven't tried the set on 'phones, it's true -- I don't like them much
anyway: I wear glasses and find that after just a few minutes the 'phones
cause the sidebars to press painfully behind my ears....If I take off the
glasses to avoid this -- a logical move -- then I can't see a thing.

But I'll try and remember to give them a try with 'phones over the w/e and
let you know what the quality is like. Over speakers I think it's terrific.
